Took the plunge and made my first CP soap in years! Used to do the Red Devil, render your own tallow recipe 20 years ago before all the fragrances & good stuff. Been procrastinating thinking it looks hard to do it with everyone talking about FO's making the soap seize up. Beginners luck was with me. Used a very basic coconut, crisco, olive oil base recipe and added S C mango FO and paprika for color, it mixed super. Nice and creamy right in the molds. Now if it only comes out something like a decent soap. Good thing I work tomorrow or I would be itching to cut and try it. Connie
