Soap cutter

[rdc1978]

I'm interested in buying a soap cutter, but I'd like one that a) is the best value, b) somewhat reasonably priced and c) works.

I purchased one like this and I'm a little frustrated because the walls aren't high enough to accommodate the loaves that come out of my mold. But maybe it accommodates other loaf molds.

I'm thinking of maybe a single wire cutter because I think those cut soaps look tidier. However, I don't mind this box style, I just want it to work.

With that in mind does anyone have a good recommendation? I've seen some single wire cutters for around $55 but I'd like something that works, so if that costs a little more thats fine. I just hate waste and so having a useless cutter is upsetting.

There are several posts on this if you search. However I have two from Buds Workshop on Etsy. Bud Hefner makes quality products. I have a metal multi bar cutter and a wood single bar cutter. Worth the money.

Thanks, I'll check him out. I did a quick search but it didn't look like there were any recent recs. Last time I got myself in a lather over a soap shaver and the seller was on hiatus. But I'll do another search, thanks again

I don't think bud is in business anymore, really makes me wish I had bought one of his long ago.
I just bought a all metal single wire cutter but it will be awhile before I get it as its coming from russia. Its adjustable and has a stainless steel bed instead of the typical plastic or wood. With shipping, it came to $122.

Its comes in different colors

Thank you! There is someone on Etsy with the name bud haffner and his stuff is a little spendy so I wonder if it's the same guy?

LOL, I think that seller is the same one I'm considering buying a soap cutter from.

Yes, I believe that is the same bud. Does he have things for sale? His cutters are top notch

Looks like he has stuff for sale! It's a bit out of my price range, but it all looks really good!

Bud and his daughter have merged. They are Maple Leaf Soap.com. I love my single cutter.

Think this might be the guy, the cutter looks the same, the name may be budhaffner

Yup...that’s him.

I just upgraded from a metal box cutter to a single wire cutter. The ability to change the depth or thickness of the bar is worth a million to me, so I encourage you in that direction for the sake of flexibility. The metal cutter takes up no space for storage, though.

I bought a Bud cutter! It came last week, very fast shipping and great packaging. I am in awe of this machine. Have only used it once but it is a game changer for me. Highly recommend!

Gosh, I do love the tidy and professional look of your bars. You make a persuasive point, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a single wire cutter. I also hadn't considered the flexibility to change the size of the bar, that's an excellent point.

My cutter just shipped from Russia, hopefully it arrives quick and doesn't get caught up in customs

Just saw this on Facebook. It’s a screenshot so you can’t click on the site but it’s
www.mapleleafsoap.com Bud is closing his Etsy shop but will be under that website.
