And I am THRILLED!  That means tomorrow I can probably make a batch or two of soap!  YAY! 

Here’s what the wait was about -

First off, my new soap mold.  This is very similar to my other log mold, but the design is a bit different and I think I’ll like this new one better.  May need to pick up another one at some point!

I also got a beveler/planer - which I have been looking at for a long time, but haven’t been ready to get yet.  It will make smoothing the edges of bars much faster and more consistent.

And last, but DEFINITELY not least, the cutter.  This was the main thing I’ve been waiting on.  It will cut multiple bars of soap simultaneously and each will be of uniform thickness!  YAY for new cutters!  YAY for guitar strings!!  Let’s hope it works

These items, along with my other dual log mold that is featured in this blog, were made by Paul of TOG Soap Molds.  I am planning to purchase new slab molds from him in the next couple of weeks, as well.

YAY for new equipment!!

Good news!  My equipment has finally shipped and should arrive by Monday!  That means by this time next week, I should be soaping!  WHOOHOO!

I still have a small stash of lye in my possession, but I will need to keep an eye out for it locally.  I can probably 6 batches made with what I have on hand.

I just ordered some supplies for bath salts and balms/salves.  I hope to get some of those made up very soon as well.

So my question for you is - What variety of soap shall I make first?
