Seems that I am having trouble cutting my soap. When using a knife the edges sometimes want to break off because the knife pushes the block apart. I'm cutting fresh soap. Does a wire work a lot better?
Was looking at Paul's cutters and wondering if the Econo cutter leaves a clean cut, or the wire one is better.
And the wooden molds with the liners. Are the liners a square box, or separate plates that just peel off the sides of the soap block?
OK, here goes Phillip;
My TOG 8 Wire Cutter is just "the bomb!" It is very much like another on the Internet that sells for 3 times more than mine. On another forum, a lady just 2 days ago posted pictures of how my cutter cuts her soap and leaves the "face" so smooth and clean, perfect same width cuts every time. As for my Stainless steel single blade TOG Econo cutter, it cuts nicely too, just takes a bit more time to cut your log. NEA Soapworks just got her TOG Econo Cutter and will perhaps chime in on this thread. I'll ask her.
The TOG liners are so easy! They fit very tightly together in the mold to form a leak proof lining. When your soap is set and cooled, simply remove the log, slab or whatever set-up you have from me, peel off the liners from the soap and hand wash them under warm water and let dry. They are ready to use again in minutes if you want to. They are very, very durable, and if you want a second set, unlike some companies that charge as much for silicone liners than you paid for the mold the first time, a replacement set costs between $5.00 and $12.00 depending on what style of TOG Mold you have and the size!!!!
Whew, I think that was it! There are several SMF members who have my molds, cutters, bevelers, & soap dishes.
