Hey all, I'm a newbie with a creative bent and a hankering for making something. Back in CA I used to have a shop available to build things like furniture but now my space is quite constrained. Being I'm a wetshaver and am already quite interested in different soaps and their qualities, the world of soap making is definitely right up my alley. As is per usual I spent quite a lot of time reading all over the internet....and man it's overwhelming. I've decided to settle down and troll around in one space till I find a recipe I can be comfortable trying and working on. Currently interested in bathsoaps and shaving soaps, nothing too fancy, and willing to learn. Anyway, great forum you have here!
