Take a sliver off one of your bars and give it a try. When you have it lathered up, lightly touch to tip of your tongue with your finger. That will let you know if it is zappy and it will still need to sit for a while. I do CPOP (Cold Process Oven Process )and every time I take it out of the oven, I never have zap. I use a piece right away, however, before I use it in the bath, I let it sit for 2-3 weeks. When I do straight CP, it usually does take a couple of days for the zap to go away. If you don't want to tongue test your soap, just wash your hands with it. If it stings, that means it needs to sit more. I know you have to be dying to try it.
