BubbleBath Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I just made my first "real" batch of CP. I made a very small batch last week (just to get a "feel" for it). After liking the way it came out (Thanks Crafty AJ for the basic recipe), I decided to research some more and give this a try in earnest. I created my own recipe (probably not original, but it's what I had on hand). Lard (50%)Olive Oil (25%)Coconut (20%)Shea (5%)I ran it the SoapCalc and liked what I saw; but what do I know. I've been reading up on this since October, but until I actually get in there and experiment, it won't mean a thing to me.I used NG's Mardi Gras and attempted a swirl. I hoping that the soap comes out ok and I'll be pleased if the swirl doesn't look like crap. Even if it does I'll be pleased because I did it.

jbren Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 You'll never forget the gratification of that first batch! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yay! Glad you got that first batch under your belt! Welcome to the world of soapmaking! Glad to have you on board! P.S. You're welcome for the recipe. I was hoping it would help a newbie get started. I invented it early in my soaping career because I was trying to keep it SIMPLE. lol It's probably been done before -- nothing new under the sun, as they say. But I like it.
