Learning the Hard Way

You may have heard melt and pour soap described as the "easy" way to make soap. It is.

However, there are tips and techniques that need to be learned that aren't described on the glycerin package. It seems like every new batch of soap I make I learn something new. Most times, I learn through trial and error. sigh. A good example would be soap I gave out a couple Christmas's back. It hardly lathered and was only somewhat pretty.
I now know what I've been doing wrong!

I was adding too much additives. That is, oils and such. I was messing up the soap's lathering capabilities. Worst of all, I was buying the wrong soap base. I am still in the process of finding great soap bases at decent prices. I have just recently found a couple that I am satisfied with.

If you have tried my soap in the past, I urge you to give it a worthy try again.
You shall be pleased!
