World's Ugliest Soap -- Rebatch

[MorpheusPA]

This has to be in the running for World's Ugliest Soap. Stearic spots, the Blue #1 did warp to the correct purple hue, but didn't disperse well before I was hitting thick trace. Partial gel reached to the edge so it's inconsistently white and opacity varies. The edge broke when I unmolded it (it was already ugly, so no matter).

Rebatch tomorrow evening. On the up side, it doesn't zap, and it should rebatch to a nice faint purple. I hope.

I'm sorry... that isn't even a contender. you'll have to try harder to make ugly soap. Better luck next time.

Can we at least call it hideous?

 

[snappyllama]

Nope. I'll grant you "not what I was going for".

 

[MorpheusPA]

Nope. I'll grant you "not what I was going for".

I missed what I was going for on almost every point. I did get the scent right, though!

I'm still going with Seriously Ugly. It's cut apart now and in the pot with appropriate water, to steep for the next eighteen hours or so before I rebatch.

Naturally, this means I get to work with lavender scent twice. I hate lavender, but one of my friends won't use anything else.

Maybe I should turn that down to "Ugliest Soap I Have Ever Produced," including the potscrubber soap where the color turned gray, I didn't discount water enough, I got massive ash, and I cut it late and it shattered.

'Course, it was kitchen/gardener's soap, so I really didn't care. This was to be a Christmas present. Now, not so much.

Actually, I like yours. It looks like bacon. Mine looks like purple measles.

Maybe it's a guy thing, but I'd use your soap. Really, any soap that looks like meat or meat by-products would be completely acceptable.

I actually thought they were chocolate brownies. Sorry, no ugly award for you either.

Pfft... not even close! I had soaps that came out properly that were uglier than that! If that is your worst you have nothing to complain about.

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time!

I totally wanted to bring that up.
I think you must have destroyed the ugly yang side of your soaping chi with the zombie soap and that's why all your others are so pretty with your yin side of soap.

OK, so the rebatch is kind of a fail as well--I haven't taken photos yet, but it's almost cream colored, and very rough.

I guess my next and final step is either to let it be and give it out randomly as "aesthetic failures," or just make soap balls out of it.

Mine the ugly too

Actually, I like both. The brown is very earthy and restful. The colors look attractively patchwork, kind of Partridge Family Bus-like.

I guess we're our own worst critics.

Thank you, I think you right. Because I love to see a nice colourful and swirly. As a newbie I am still practising.

I rebatched once. It came out looking like rice studded poo.

The appearance of rebatched soap is why I learned to make confetti soap and why I use grated bar soap to kick start trace on liquid soap batches. I will do a lot to avoid another rebatch.
