And It should have been My first!! I took the chance and made 100% Castile bar tonight! And You know, It should have been the very first bar I ever made! It is A usable thing..I don't see much room for failure! Only if You get Your lye and water wrong! As You all Know I have wicked dry skin! And the thought of using an all oil bar is Great except I am not nuts about the smell..But U know.It was sooo cool to do! And I was not scared at all..I did not add,color or scent..But I did add ground up oatmeal..for texture and to see if it has any scrubbing action... From this new person to any new person..If You wanna play with a cool bar try a Castile bar! You get to see the whole process..And no worries about seizing and stuff.. Just my view point! I had fun an made an awesome bar of soap..Just tucked it in for the night! Maybe in a day or so I will see it again!!! LOL!! Thanks for letting me ramble! Hugs Tara
