Looking good!!

You're also very good at cutting straight with the crinkle cutter! I have only just recently gotten one and I am having a hard time getting it perfect, especially when cutting taller soaps. It's not easy at all getting the crinkles to be completely vertical! Do you cut yours by freehand or do you have some kind of cutter guide thingy?

Your soap looks nice and smooth.

Thank you!!! Yes i cut by free hand , i dont have a cutting mat but been considering it since i cut my soaps too thick sometimes.

yes it is because i used 3:1 water/lye ratio i was having a hard time plopping it to my silicone soap mold without my soap getting deformed or stretching out my silicone mold giving me a chunky deformed soap :-( not fun so i figured my solution till i make my own wood mold.

Yikes, I was hoping there was some kind of magic box I could use to help me get my cuts straighter, but I guess the only cure for my wobbly crinkles is practice. Oh well... as so often is the case, that's the name of the game in soaping.

My crinkle cut soaps come out waaaay to thick too! :crazy:
