Can't help with name...but very pretty!!

Very nice!!

Can't help technically speaking but, my take on it is that...olive does, of course, produce a lather...just not a lather that most soaps do. It's more of a slimyish (is that a word? ) lather to me (just my opinion). From researching, I do know alot of soapers add 10% castor oil to help boost the lather some. And I would think it really doesn't provide a cleansing effect per say...but I'm sure it "cleanses" somewhat and since it's great for sensitive skin, it's good not to have too much cleanse to it anyway. On a different note, I wanted to add that I've used straight plain oils to "cleanse" my face with and then use a washcloth with warm water to gently wipe it off and my skin feels just as clean (if not better feeling) than when I use soap. It would be interesting to hear what some of the expert soapers have to say. Anyway, I say go for it!!

They both look great...but I too, really like the "what the heck is it" bar.

Still looks very nice...both do!!

I haven't soaped in a long (read years) but I agree with all the others. I would bang my molds (mini loaf pans) and it worked wonders. I would put a small hand towel down and use that to buffer between the mold and counter...as to not scratch my counter up. Now, since I haven't soaped in...forever...and now that I have some money to play with, I'm going to get back into soaping and going to get some SL and see how it goes with that. Can't wait to get back to soaping!!!!! PS: My avatar are of cphp soaps that I made about 7/8 years ago.

Love the watermelon!!

I don't usually pop into the candle forums but thought I'd look at the gallery and WOW!! Those are soooo cute!!

Those are all very nice!! I really like the first ones though.

My first soaping experience was back in late '98...remember it like it was yesterday. But I've gone 4 years without soaping...so when I start again...it's going to be like the first time all over again.

Crap...I haven't soaped in 4 years!!! MP or CP!! Can't believe I've gone all this time without making any!! I miss it soooo much...but just fell out of it after going through a divorce and having to go back to work full-time....but I will be soaping real soon....I hope anyways!!

Lookin' pretty good!!
