Title: Hello, i'm new too
Post by: rowsoap on April 06, 2011, 10:00:42 PM
Hi Just found the Fresholi site after some noodling about, hooray!
I made my first batch of cold pressed soap at the beginning of February, which has turned out very well in use.  I made a hot processed batch yesterday using the slow cooker, so I am just waiting now to see how well it comes out.  Very excited about being able to harness the power of chemistry (something I never mastered at school!), and would like to be in touch with other soapers in my area - I live in Dorset.  I am thinking about selling my soaps eventually, and it would be nice to pick other people's brains if necessary.

Hi & Welcome !  I bet is was exciting being able to use your first soap.  I couldn't wait for my first batch to cure so I could try it.  I hope the HP turns out well also.

Thanks for all your welcoming notes.  Yes, I was tremendously excited to be able to use my own soap.  I made 12 big bars out of the first batch (roughly 1kg of oils), and distributed them to my Mum, and 4 special friends.  They have all been very complimentary, and Mum already needs another one!  I'm not so sure if I'm going to like this week's HP soap.  I made only a 500g batch this time, as in a moment of idiocy I decided to add some cinnamon, ginger and a little demerara sugar.  As a result, I have a batch of swirly brown-ish looking soap.  And I have a heavy cold at present, so I can't tell if it smells nice or not.  I have sent one to Mum for testing as she is such a willing guinea pig, and no doubt she will let me know ....  I will post some pics once I have found out where to put them.  ;)
