So after waiting two long weeks meanwhile my 10 soap loafs are getting harder and harder... I finally got my cutter today only to be grossly disappointed :twisted: im so upset I could just throw it out the window.
It's no wonder they barely show you any pictures of the cutter before you buy it. I got it today all bubble wrapped nicely. First thing I noticed was the strings arent the smooth guitar strings like my other one has. they are textured so i didnt like that right off the bat. I sat down to tighten the strings because they came all loose. I know what kind of tightness is good for cutting my soaps and well, I couldnt even get close to that range before the **** wire broke. Trust me, it wasnt even that tight, it's the bad design that doesnt allow for even tightening so just ONE wire gets tight while the rest stay loose (to a degree). So after spending a half hour and ripping a nail I finally got it put back together and ready to cut.
Still too lose but i didnt want to risk breaking another wire. I put on one of my softest logs I made last night on the cutter (for one its too short to even cut through a whole log) but what i noticed next really sucked! The cutter wont even clear my 3" soap log! So I scooted it toward the center without any support of the side so now I have to worry about these round logs not cutting straight, a problem that dosent exhist with my other cutter. I cut through it but it was a joke, The design is so bad that the log starts to roll and there's no where to put your hands to even help it along. I didnt achieve a clean cut and the last crappy thing is that once you barely cut through, your soaps are pratically stuck in the cutter because ther's no room to get them out! I am totally discusted. Now I need to go spend another $150 after shipping and get one from Bud on Etsy, meanwhile waiting another two weeks for arrival at best. Im going to try to send this back, if they dont agree then I will never give them my business again. thank you for allowing me to vent. I DO NOT recommend this cutter unless you need kindling to start a fire.
