    Shalom😊
    I just wanna tell you that I have been on a quest to learn how to make soap, but the journey has left me a bit intimidated.
    I was/am excited to make a nice soap, but most of the recipes included lard or palm oil.
    I was/am a bit frustrated because I envisioned my own ingredients., then I happened upon your video and ALL OF A SUDDEN there was a connection!!!
    You are throughly concise, I love the ingredients that you use, and above all this...I feel safe in your presence and not intimidated.
    Thanks for your ability to wanna teach and make the newcomers feel that they too, can slay the soap dragon😊
    Be blessed and stay you!!!
    By the way...I will be purchasing your on line book, and I love your pooch❤

      Check out soapee (an online lye calculator). It has a whole long list of oils and fats and waxes that can be used for soap making. A lot of them were things I already had or could easily get. I found it so encouraging, and now I'm the proud maker of my first batch of soap!

    Don't know why everyone is concerned because of the snow. Lye kills almost everything and unless you don't collect your snow beside roads or railroads you are fine. I'm worried more because of the mittens. You dont have grip, they are thick and you lack sense of touch in them and when you drip lye over them they don't protect enough. The video is aestetic, no question. But i dont recomend this for beginners. To everyone who want to try his hands on soapmaking: please research the important safety precautions before starting

    Are you not supposed to weight the essential oils and charcoal powder as well? In UK everything have to be weighted and made into % as well

    This is great. Will you please make vedio on how to get rid of Soda Ash. When we try these stuffs at home, it becomes uglier after curing. How to have a smooth consistency as yours? Please give your solution. Thanks for all your vedios.

      Thank you! I think the best way to get rid of soda ash is to steam the soap🙂 it's difficult to say since i don't know the issue exactly. My soaps have a rough texture sometimes too. One thing that affects the smoothness is air bubbles. I got quite a few on these bars, you can see them better in certain lighting. To avoid air bubbles, try burbing the stick blender by tapping it and moving it around before starting to blend and also pour the soap batter against a spoon or spatula into the mold to break up air bubbles.

    Why do you keep in oven ? Does it have any importance or can I leave in room temperature itself ?

      I wanted it to go through gel phase. You can leave it at room temp if you want🙂

      Sure, just make sure to run the new formula through a lye calculator☺️
