Not too bad for my first homemade soap.

is this cold process or melt and pour?

Melt and Pour

 

Thanks, I was gonna ask that.

I tried making my first soap the other day. Nice a slick, but not enough cushion. I do like the scent though; Raspberry & Spearmint :drool

Very nice job, Jim. You said the photo was taken 8mins after the shave? Gorgeous :drool

 

exellent job

there is a certain satisfaction one achieves when the research and work has been done and every thing that you hoped to accomplish comes to pass.
Take a moment to sit down, pat yourself on the back and enjoy the moment,
you`ve earn`t it.
Don`t do it to often though, other wise your hat size will go up and we wouldn`t want that to happen ,now would we, just kidding !
excellent job ::
Kind regards Peter

I specifically wanted to see how long it would last. Some guys like to keep the soap on their face for a while - to increase moisturizing I believe. I work a little faster than that, but wanted to see how long it would last. It is quite moisturizing. I have been using it for almost a week now.

 

Yo Jim!

Got the test slice tonight

Rushed it into the bathroom for a lathering....... :drool :: :happy036

This thing is a lather bomb! Quick, thick, slick.

Very much looking forward to the shave tomorrow

 

I am still waiting.

 

Doc,
Yours should be there soon. I hope you like it.

 

Wait till you get it on your face. Nice moisture too. I hope you like it.

 

You were right, very nice in the moisturizing department Got me a nice, schumde shave, excellent lather. Only good things to say ::


I didn't want to say anything before (was excited for you), but Rosemary EO usually gives me a headache. But, whatever amount you used was just right, and gave me no problems at all.


Congratulations to you, Jim :happy088

 

Thanks Joe, been getting great reviews all around. I sent 9 samples out. So I can't wait for everyone to try it out. I am still in the base design and test phase so I will still be making adjustments. The scents and fragrances can be easily adjusted. I was especially looking here to use oils that had skin healing properties with aromas that also uplift and get you going. I really believe I am on the right track. Thanks for the test and response. I am glad you liked it. :happy108

 

So what do you use as a base? What soap brands are you mixing? Any ones you could suggest?

 

Very cool indeed!
