I LOVED working with both of these tools to make m&p soapmaking a little easier

[@anabs_wrenandrita]

I use a big cheese knife with handles on both sides (same idea but a lot more blade). It cuts amazing through M&P. I also like Uncle Andy's cutter as well, but only for smaller loaves. It can be a bit tedious.

[@TheSoapChef]

I did find it time consuming

[@jobo8819]

Hi ya Lissa, loving those cutters especially that beast of a Pizza knife thingee!!! Did it automatically come with the "Morning Chef" imprinted on it??? I had to giggle how perfect it was for you being "The Soap Chef" I've never used M&P tbh, always thought of it as some sort of plastiky drying soap but must give it a try one day. Hope you doing well and as always, thank you for your educative vids. 🥰😜😜

[@TheSoapChef]

Yes, it did come with morning chef on it. What a wonderful coincidence 🤣

[@jobo8819]

Awww yes such a cute coincidence @@TheSoapChef

[@lauriewilson4741]

Ty for the demo
Guessing the cutter cd be used for salt bars?

[@TheSoapChef]

Oh yeah, that would be a great idea. As long as you’re trying to cut it while the soap log is still warmish. Yeah, I think that would work Well
