eugenia Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Here it is in the mold:And here it is cut. The black one are the bottom. Look at the weird cut design; it's in every bar.No clue how that happened. I've never seen anything like it.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think they look great. Could those marks have come from your liner?I also found charcoal at Texas Natural Supply and the price was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think they look great. Could those marks have come from your liner?I also found charcoal at Texas Natural Supply and the price was great.The liner was freezer paper, same as always. It's too weird how the pattern is consistent, like I planned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibiscus Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I like that soap! That accidental pattern makes it pop. It reminds me of some bone beads that were black with white cuts in them. *soap porn approval* I've wanted to try charcoal just for the color but I'm terrified it will stain something.

bells4shells Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 looks like the marks from dragging your stick (insert whatever tool you use to make your swirls). Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I don't make soap, but I love looking through the gallery anyway.I'm just curious as to why you would want soap this color and named "charcoal".Is there a purpose for that? Is the soap used for something special?TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Cool looking!I'm with Jadewicks....it looks like the track marks from whatevr use use to make your swirlies (which are awesome, btw!). I use a bamboo skewer...and I'd think that's what it might look like....if it was uber thickening.....maybe. Dunno...but it sure is cool looking!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are right, drag marks from the skewer, the soap was so thick it never came back together.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Soap Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 that's cool! so is every bar black on the bottom? does it come off on your skin to (not stain it, but get the black color and then rinse off) that might freak me out a little, but the color itself would totally go with my bathroom colors!

ForHisGlory Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Activated charcoal will make the soap black and is supposed to be beneficial for drawing impurities from the skin. eThanks, I didn't know that. I do know that throwing my leftover charcoal into my Azelea bush will make it bloom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If they were scented with Egyptian dragon, you could have called it heiroglyphic soap. Heck you still can. That's a terrific black! Heck the gray is stunning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) The pattern is neat. I just bought a charcoal soap from a soap vendor over the week-end and yes it does show on the washcloth and on your skin but washes off. I want to try some but it's really hard to get where I am and don't want to buy from an American supplier when I just need one thing. Out of desperation I may go to the health food store here and break open all the capsules to get the powder as that is the only way I can find where I am. Awhile back I called all these fish places but no one had powder as they all sold granular stuff. Edited October 9, 2009 by Firefly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 may I ask how much ppo of the charcoal...I assume it is the activated charcoal? I am just begining my activated charcoal exploration. I just ordered a bag of it. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for a few minutes before opening the grinder lid, as the powder will float all over if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
