Howdy folks-
My wife is hugely into soaps. She buy from several different makers, on top of what she gets from Lush. To say the least, she has strong opinions on what makes a quality soap.
With that said, I think she'd get a kick out of making her own soap. Probably only as a hobby (personal use and gifts), not for resale. I have a heavy chemistry background and am aware of the different means of making your own soap, but I don't think she'd enjoy using the chemicals involved with CP. M&P looks a good bit more appropriate.
To my question- assuming you use a good base with M&P, is the quality of the M&P worth the effort? For someone used to 'excellent' soaps, will M&P be anything but a disappointment?
Obviously the bulk of the fun is in the making, but if the end product is of low quality it's not worth the investment.
