Sir your soaps are wonderful 🙏 I wonder, do you happen to sell the marvellous scrapers you’re using please? ❤

Hi where can I find soap cutters please 🎉

I totally love your beard!!! Great video!! Believe I'm going to try it...!!

Thank you Sir

Good to know, thank you! ❤

Thank you for the beautiful, detailed, enlightening video, straight forward and soothing <3

The skin benefits are looking pretty nice. I was curious myself and found your experiment. Even if a good blue isn't had, at least there's the benefits. Thank you for this!

Hey, this is a lot of good information. I really dislike having the music in between you talking. It’s very annoying. Please don’t do this in future videos. Thank you.

I think this is the recipe that I've been 'looking for'! How long do you leave the soap to cure for before it can be used?

Soapers with real information dont stand much of a chance against the "know-it-alls" in this arena. keep up your good work..quiet aciever, can only try, cant do more than that...😊 cut and paste soap making, not a lot of credibility..wash and repeat until it becomes reality...

Oh my, absolutely gorgeous colors! Love it. Bet it smells amazing. Well done! Hugz, Tree

Thank you for sharing this, very helpful information for our collective learning. Really appreciate seeing this. What UK fragrance was it? And also a question for you: Would it help if the batch is stick blended through emulsification to light trace, and then the fragrance added right at the end, and only hand stirred in. Mixed in evenly but for say no more than 20 seconds. Then poured into the mould? I wonder…. 🤷🏾‍♀️

❤

Thanks a ton.. Well explained..I had this cutter from last 3 years but didn't know how to use it.. No instructions came with it.. Now I will be able to use it Can't thank you enough.. God bless you 🙏

Oh no! Awful! I do wish UK fragrance suppliers would give us more info about how they behave.

Man I have learned so much since I found your channel. Thank you. And I too am a fan of Lisa from I Dream in Soap.

Thank you so much. That really helps.

My thing is less that the glass is or isn’t prone to failure, and more the consequences if it does fail.

In the recipe... all the oils are marked in percentages but clay n charcoal in grams... Its difficult to guess . Some light over it would be really great.

The 1:1 Coconut bar is an ideal Laundry soap. Either for handwashing items or shedding into your homemade laundry soap mix. // Olive Oil soaps, I’ve always understood, require 12 months cure time 9-12. And as a result they are more expensive, and the slime factor diminishes 😊. // Rapeseed’s other name is Canola Oil. It’s a man made ‘creation, and statistics prove it to be Very deleterious to health. An interesting exercise Bravo 👏

I’m not sure how you normally accept questions for your videos. I hope this is OK…. I wanted to ask if when preforming a zap test does soda ash have a taste that might be confused the taste of a lye heavy soap?

I like this color combo, but who is Larry (21:30)? I like your ink, too. It's weird to watch a soap-making video and think, "I just like this dude," but this is CZcams, so the personalities are as important as the content. Thanks for both educating us and entertaining us.

Interesting technique. Thanks I will give this a try. Yours really do look like fire!

Beautiful soaps❣️

I have found an alternative to citric in sodium gluconate which does not consume lye. I am really keen for you to try that and get your thoughts. I love your videos. There’s no bumf!

That’s a great shape for a salt bar.

The purple portion of the soap ended up being such a lovely rich color! and the discoloration on the other portion was such a surprisingly bright yellow color- super interesting.

Do you ever use specialty salt? Like pink Himalayan salt, black or red Hawaiian salt, etc. Not just from an interesting visual perspective, but I was wondering if different kinds of salts (with different mineral contents) affect the batter and recipe.

Hello. I was wondering when you add in the citric acid and you mentioned that you will need to add more lye, how do you calculate that into your recipe? I’d like to try this method. Thank you in advance and thank you for your video.

Thankyou for sharing. I love making soap. Still learning. ❤

Interesting info thanks

Check out this for angles and natural colorants.

Vanilla, or fragrance with vanilla did the same for me. The only difference, I was making a full batch 😢.

youtube recomended me this video... I don't know anything about making soap. And, for the life of me, I cannot even imagine how this is used.

So practical, thank you

Love to see DIY and usage of recycled materials- finding new exciting life for things that would normally be destined for the trash. Fantastic

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!!!

Nicely done.

Hello! I am from Argentine Patagonia!! I love your work, I want to ask you how to make alum soap in a hot process, when should I add it? thank you!!

thank you for sharing! i have a question, i have made some soap but it feels really slippery when wet and i was wandering what im doing wrong to make it that slippery? i would really appriciate any advise you can give! many thanks and much love from lancashire xxx

Lovely 😍

Really interesting. Thank you

Great video. Did you put the pot on low please? I have only ever done CP but I really want to try this but I'm a bit scared by it. Thank you

You did great. Hot process is not fluid, in my opinion. It's a different beast. I only do hot. I call it the plop swirl. The other thing I like which you did not address is you can cook 100% saponofied and add more expensive oils as a super fat. Thanks for sharing. I have lots of amateur soap making vids on my channel. I learned from Kimberly McNutts CZcams videos in 2015.

So just curious but if curring is removing water from the soap couldn't you put the soap in a dehydrator to cure it faster?

I really like the soap you made. Some swirls in cold process soap are a bit to fancy for my preference

I made this soap yesterday and cut into 4 chunky bars like you, using 93% & 7%. Big size bar cuts and it makes sense if it’s a utility soap for kitchen and bathroom cleaning. Unfortunately it is all yellow all round the wall of the soap, white on the top and inside. 🙆🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. My silicon mould is purple like yours, what could make that happen using the same recipe as you? I used 1% Superfat which I’ve never done before, and it is so hard, it actually feels like a thick CANDLE block The soap is so hard that yes, I had to cut with a big strong knife. My question - do I still need to wait 4 weeks to cure. It being so hard and dry? Please do answer, and much appreciated. Ps - Weeks later. The soap bars have turned out fine, all white after the first wash - a lovely lovely very very very soapy bar, it lathers up in seconds. And I can really feel the difference between this and a superfatted soap of 5-7% which are moisturising but more oily for skin use. I use it for handwashing, washing dishes, pots and pans, washing out my bath and sink daily, kitchen surfaces, even small hand washing. No oily residue. It feels like a commercial soap. It’s perfect soap! I am gonna make some more, smaller round ones (the 4 big chunky cuts were too big that I kept dropping them, so I cut them down to standard soap square sizes). in a couple of different colours and an essential oil fragrance. This is one of my best soap feel I have made. So good and so simple I might gift some. With a tiny wooden natural scrubber brush accessory. Thank you again.

Love the terracotta myself, the orange, purples, and the blue -a very strong total blue. Just starting to dabble with micas after resisting for some time, using clays and botanical instead. But I do want to explore more vibrant colours so long as they are not too neon bright like the yellow here. I would probably pastel down those bright ones for me. Thanks for the experimentation.

Could you put soap in a dehydrator?
