Carrie Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I was lucky enough to have a great soaper send me a couple bars of soap. One bar was what I presume was the regular recipe without silk. It has great bubbles and lathers nicely. (It also smells devine) The second soap was made with silk. This soap bubbles well but lathers incredibly well. It was amazing to see the difference the soaps with and without the silk. Anyone that wonders what the silk does for a bar of soap, try it next to the exact same soap made before you started using silk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'm not sure I can tell the difference in my bars. I will pay better attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that wonders what the silk does for a bar of soap, try it next to the exact same soap made before you started using silk.Was that the soap I sent you Carrie? If so, I am glad you liked it. And yes you would be correct; one bar had silk and one bar did not. I can definately tell the difference. The soap with silk has a much smoother and softer lather than without. Ladysg - I just use a pinch of silk in each recipe. I love what the silk does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 LOL...Yes Meridith, it was your soap. I knew there was a difference when I use the silk but I never tried it up against the same recipe without silk. I figured you'd know I was talking about you.Thank you mbrown for posting the link. I've been offline most of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I add silk to all my soap now. The shaving soap is wonderful with it. I add about a cotton ball size to the lye water for a 4 lb batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I did the same after I got my silk. I used a "before bar" and an "after bar" and was amazed at the difference!! I can't believe I ever soaped without SILK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magsglass Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yeah it's amazing how much softer the lather feels with silk, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
