For all you veteran soapers out there....how did you know, or decide on, your "main" recipe? I have tried some fabulous soaps....I've found some good recipes...experimented a little.....but my testers just don't give me feedback as liking one better than another. After 2 years of soaping I'm ready to "settle down" and experiment more with colors, EO's etc....but I don't know how to choose which recipe that I have is the "best"....know what I mean? :rolleyes2 I want to stick to one base recipe and develop around it...as opposed to being the soaping maniac that I have been, trying this, that and the other. I have no consistency to judge my results! Thanks to all the great advice shared here, I've had few disasters and many good bars of soap. It's probably a stupid question....but maybe those of you who have had that "aha" moment can share how you got there...or when you knew you where there! I'm sure the experiments and tweaks never end.....it's so addicting making soap....but I gotta narrow it down a bit! Thanks! Dana
