I've read on here a bit but only registered today! A friend came over on Sat to make soap and we didn't know what to expect. We planned to do 4 batches then when we go together we started to freak and were saying that if we get one batch done we'll be happy. Turns out we did 3 40 oz batches!! We made a batch of lavendar baby soap with dried lavendar buds in it, a batch of castille ssoap that we split into two and made half a citrus soap with grapefruit and sweet orange EO and another half citronella exfoliating bar with oats, and the last batch is just unscented batch to be hand milled at a later time. The only batch we didn't get to was a batch of beef tallow soap and that was because the rendering process took longer than expected (I now have the tallow in the fridge and am unsure I've done it right so afraid to use it, but I'll make a seperate post about that).
I have to say I'm surprised at how quickly the process went. I expected it to take hours to do a batch (that's what I remember when watching my grandmother make soap as a kid).
I will definitely be making MUCH more!
