Ok - I'm overly excited, but tonight I made my first attempt at soap. I only took two photos during the process - cuz I was so single-minded in my task that I forgot about the camera.

Anyway - you can see my soap pot with the oils ready for lye, and then the finished mix in one of Paul's TOG Soap Molds!

I used an essential oil blend of Yuzu & Bergamot. The EO mix smelled really great when I mixed them, but when I added it to the room-temp oils - WOW the fragrance just bloomed like you wouldn't believe!



 
Yay!

Hey! I see you started with "the best", a TOG! Congratulations on your first batch — I feel your excitement!

You're showing the beginning signs of...a "Soap Junkie". Guard your wallet, with your life — or watch the dollars go up in SUDS! :lol:
 
Congrats! And to a everlasting spending journey...
I have spent a good 10 grand or so on soap lol
 
Yes... I agree with the two above me... Watch your money begin to wash away!

:lol:

Welcome to the world of CP soap! You'll have to post pictures so we can see how it unmolded and cut!
 
Congrats and welcome to the addiction.......

sadly you will find you can never have enough soap around. And you will want to try this scent and that scent. And your friends and family will either love or hate you because of all the soap you give them.
