mzphee Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) OK I was at Micheals craft store and they had the goatmilk base 2lb for $2.50 because of the damage package. I purchased it so I can start playing and getting the feel of M&P. ok here is a picture of the first batch. OK now im ready to order from a supplier so I can really play I loved doing this. I have 100% whole grain oats very fine, less than a half cup of almond milk and EVOO added to the base, it did lather but not a whole lot. it does has some moisture in it but my hands are still a little dry....but this was my first time.. on the left is the front of the bar, and the right is the backIm ready to try again:yay: Edited February 15, 2012 by mzphee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 thank you Candybee do you think I can try some of the recipes you posted with the base I have from Micheals?The recipes are for everyone. The recipe thread is also for anyone who has a recipe they want to share.I cannot however, vouch for the quality of the base. The better the base, the better the soap will turn out. Never used Michaels for their bases. But have used them for their candle wax and from my experience didn't care for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbenimble Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have 100% whole grain oats very fine, less than a half cup of almond milk and EVOO added to the base, it did lather but not a whole lot. it does has some moisture in it but my hands are still a little dryI have found this also to be true of most of the bases I have used so far. Even after adding the additives it is still kinda dry feeling. I'm not sure what to do to help this because I'm using recipes from the MP recipe posting here. Camden Greys base is actually very moisturizing on its own but lathers very little and adding more then a TBS of any additive to it makes the lather nonexistent. Very nice soap though mzphee!!

Candybee Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The only bases I have found that lather like crazy even with a ton of additives are the ones from C&S. But they tend to be out of the exact base you need when you need to order. So if you don't mind switching any of their bases are very lathery. I sometimes use their Mango when they are out of white or gm. Their shea is also really nice. Every single base I have tried from them lathers great. And I love my additives!!
