My 1st cold & hot process soaps!

[sugarnik]

In the past week I've made 1 cold process batch ( with the help of my boyfriend mixing the lye and me standing behind him giving directions being a chicken!) and I also made 2 hot process batches ( without the extra help :wink: ).

This is the recipe I used from a website for all 3 batches. It says it's a simple starter recipe
castor oil 1.6
coconut oil 7.9
crisco 6.3
olive oil 15.9
water 10.46
lye 4.44

So any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please browse through the pics I uploaded if you like. I used no colorants in the 3 soaps. I have no idea if the even look like they should lol! Thanks!

Congratulations, they all look very nice! I find HP very challenging and it looks like you did a very good job with it.
