Hi there I'm new to this forum, don't really know much about making soap but I work for a company called Craft2suit. We specialise in producing equipment to assist small-batch soap makers. I feel quite excited about joining this forum as I would greatly value your opinion so that we can improve what we have to offer. You may have heard of us through previous discussions on this forum. If you fancy seeing our new Soap Cutter check us out at www.craft2suit.co.uk


cheers

Hi, welcome to the site.  To be honest, I'd like to see more cutters that are a) more affordable  and b) less fiddly.   Same with soap moulds, which are very expensive for what they are.  I'm just waiting for someone to produce something cheap and functional, and they will wipe the market with all the others.  As it stands, I really object to paying high prices for moulds.   Sorry to be negative, but that's my honest feedback.   I make my own wooden moulds, they cost me nothing.  I use off cuts from the local wood yard that are given away free.   At the moment, I'm using silicon moulds that only cost me £15 and they work brilliantly.

Each to his/her own - people will buy or make what they want.

Re the cutter which Dean mentioned, it's a more sophisticated concept than other cutters on the market. It has quite q number of accurately positioned wires and the winder mechanism ensures that the soap is brought evenly up to the bank of wires.

Given that not many soapers pay themselves a good hourly rate it's almost certain to pay for itself in time saved in the long run.
