ok, here is the scale:

Summary of values:Hardness36 to 47Cleansing14 to 22Condition45 to 80Bubbly lather14 to 33Creamy lather16 to 35

what if your numbers are:

hardness 46

cleansing24

condition 65

bubbly lather 32

creamy lather 36

iodine 102

ins 146

if some of your numbers are a little higher or lower than the the scale is it ok. or do they have to be dead on. i have been having trouble getting all my numbers exact. thanks

it was a 3lb batch and 2oz of fo. its my fave. i wanted to reak of it. dh says it smells like the butt end of a oil tanker. but he is still mad about the fbb.

ok, that is it. i am coming to kidnap you and hold you hostage until you teach me how to swirl like that. they are just beautiful.

right now mine is whipped fbb and cp soap. but i am thinking about some scrubs. playing is where the fun is. goodl luck

yes, its cp. will put it to rest and well see.

p.s. carol, i think you and i are becoming fast friend. you seem to have become my personal soaping encyclopedia. thanks alot.
