Pressing shampoo bars

[Mónica Torres]

Hi I like to make shampoo bars for my family, I press them manually and have a tablet mold (the bar ends up looking like a space ship and I really don´t like how they look), but I would really like to make them rounder. Does anyone have an idea of how to achieve it? Do I need a different mol? which one? every mold I look have flat edges that gives the look of a disc and not rounds like the ones above. Thanks for your help!

I love the look of those, Monica! I want to pick one up right out of the picture. How much do they weigh?

ETA: Bramble Berry has a 9-cavity round ball mold

3.5 onz I think! do you have any idea how to press them to achieve this look?

If you mean "press them" by hand, I would simply weigh out 3.5 oz. on the scale and roll them by hand. I saw some round soaps like that in Vancouver, BC a few years ago. A little rustic, but attractive.

Thanks for the tip, but I want to do it using manual press from bath bomb express, I'm guessing it must be a mold to do it?
