I can't do a decent drop swirl!

Great great job. Yeah, "ruined," my a--! Love the photos -- especially the top 2.

Yeah-nah. I love @Rsapienza's ones above, but I guess they are not gelled to get that lovely smooth finish? Oh well - soap do what soap do.

TBH….I’m not sure if my soaps gel or not. LOL
I don’t concern myself too much with it. I understand what gel is but I’ve never experienced partial gel like so many do. For the most part I soap anywhere between 90-110, pour into a homemade wood mold, cover with a wood lid, and that’s it.
One soap I made came out almost translucent looking and had the smoothest finish I’d ever seen. I thought for sure it must have gelled, yet when I tried to duplicate it by forcing gel, I did not get the same results.
I’m sort of like you….”soap do what soap do”
