A bit chilly, eh? Now I KNOW that’s a wine glass over yonder.It’s hard to top this glamour!![]()
I love how you have everything within reach and all so neat and tidy. I’d love to see other’s organizing solutions and soap setups, if people wanted to share. I use husband #1’s wood shop, not quite where I want to be for organization, and no running water, but I totally lose all track of time over there. I just love the whole creative process, even when I get unexpected results. Preaching to the choir I know.It’s hard to top this glamour!![]()
You know, I didn’t get this at all, because I saw @Basil as the herb name, but in NZ it is probably a more common men’s name - is that right? Or maybe just GB. Don’t want to sound like a dumb American!Yeah coz @Basil is not a bloke.
What did you do to not get it anymore? did you reduce the amount of colour?5 months ago feels like so long! These salt soaps are so super pretty! I’m kind of heart broken about the red lather and not sure what to do. Some folks don’t mind it, and some actually like it. Maybe if I’m just really clear about it so it’s not a surprise. I’ve learned a lot since I made these!
I don’t get colored lather anymore.
Yes.Hey can i used expeller pressed coconut oil to make soap?

And @Vicki C - Basil is a male's name, but it is rarely used these days. It's very 'old England'. However, it may make a comeback, like to many older names.
Those are so smooth! Mine are never that smooth.Bleeding heart soap.

I use the hydrolized hemp protien in mine & was going to put some hemp oil in them too but wanted to stick with argan for now.this trial is with hemp oil.
I wish I could be that glamorous! Yesterday my neighbor and his sister came over to get some Hot chocolate bombs and a couple bars of soap. I'd just poured a loaf of soap when my rude dog started barking at them. Scared the crap out of me. When I came back in I looked down and well per usual I was still in my pj's covered in Activated charcoal and mica... I hadn't even put a bra on, I was kinda embarrassed, Then my dog almost tripped me and stole my shoe and I got over it and cleaned my kitchen!It’s hard to top this glamour!![]()
They are just silicone 'muffin' moulds. @JasmineTea I pour mine, not press them.What mold did you use?

I'm really intrigued by your syndet shampoo bars that you can pour.They are just silicone 'muffin' moulds. @JasmineTea I pour mine, not press them.
Linne1gi - I think those must be the smoothest bars I've ever seen! What cutter do you use?I made a 3 layer lavender soap - special request from a friend, and she wants to buy all the bars.
