  1. Okay Bruce - give over - what is your secret for the Great Lather??

    My soap has good lather but my DH would like more. I have tried PKO and coconut and anything else I can think of to improve this = "Bubble bubble toil and trouble...";)

    What other oils/butters are you using and the percentages because that is what will also make the difference in your lather. I use coconut, and lots of it, and i get a terrific lather and it doesn't seem to cause any dryness.

  2. Guys remember that lavender soap that our Ms Sara made, well I don't want to make anyone jealous but I received a bar of it in the mail today as a little gift and let me tell you it is sooooooooo beautiful. I am a lavender lover so I shall cherish this bar as if it were gold. It is so much more beautiful in real life and smells soooooooooooo delicious. Thank you thank you thank you Sara. I just love it. Cindy:) :) :)

    well, don' twanna make you jealous but i got one too :P

    It is wonderful. Sara is a true master of the cp soap process IMO.

  3. Your soap is wonderful!! Lather's like a MOFO and the scent is incredible.

    I could smell it all the way out into my hallway while the dh was showering last nite. Really made quite an impression on me. LOL, and he was using the lily of the valley one! Afterwards he said, Man that's a nice soap and it smells good too! Just goes to show ya, guys like the florals too! :)

    Thanks so much for sending them. You're really doing great work. Hard to believe you haven't been at it for all that long!!

  4. Usually using alot of the exotic butters will yield a softer bar of soap. (i.e, shea, mango). The higher the percentages of the "soft" oils such as avocado,Almond, soybean oil, canola oil, will result in a softer bar. The thing is, using higher percentages of these softer oils, you get zilch for lather and the soap is soft and mushy, not real desireable traits for a bar of soap.

  5. Yes you can use soy!!

    You can pretty much make any product and use soy oil in the mix. Try out different recipes and substitute one or part of the recipe with soy.

    Soy actually makes a nice lotion :)
