Brenda Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 School is finally over and I'm back at soaping again. It feels good. Here's what I've been up to latelylClove EO, a customer request, swirled with a little rhassoul clay and a pinch of ground cloves for interest.Next, is my latest batch of BRV.Finally, a clay soap! I've been wanting to try a clay soap for a long time and finally had everything I needed. Bottom layer is Rhassoul and top is French Green and the bars have been dusted with a little dry rhassoul. Soap is an olive, coconut, AKO, cocoa butter, babassu, and macadamia recipe that's scented with Bulgarian Lavender with a touch of Ylang Ylang III.This soap's a little soft, but that didn't keep me from slicing off a small chunk and trying it out in the shower. I actually used some on my face (haven't used soap on my face for about a year - been sticking with oil cleansing) and it felt good. I think I'll be very pleased with it once it's fully cured. Now I'm going to have to make more clay soaps! Just what I need, another addiction. :embarasseThanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 These are awesome! You cannot possibly cut those by hand... you must have a cutter because they are perfectly shaped. Beautiful website too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thanks so much for your nice remarks everyone! I do appreciate them. You cannot possibly cut those by hand... you must have a cutter because they are perfectly shaped.Misty Creek slab mold + big cutter bar + one eagle eyed husband = even bars! I have tried many times to cut them as even as he can and it's just not happening for me. :embarasse I squish all the trimmings into a ONE soap ball from the straightening and beveling when he does the cutting. But when I do the cutting I never get the edges perpendicular and I wind up with THREE soap balls for each batch. :rolleyes2I even bought a "tank" for the rare occasion when I do a log or a round soap so the bars have a chance of looking good. That's how desperately bad I am at cutting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misty Creek slab mold + big cutter bar + one eagle eyed husband = even bars! Misty Creek slab mold + big bar cutter + 1 level = fairly even bars (it's an improvement anyway).I need another 9-bar kelsei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
