Did you have any trouble when washing your hands with it, having a waxing feeling on your hands? I did and I am not sure what to attribute that to. I did not have glycerine so that was not in my soap. Could that be why?? I don't know if you will have the answers, but it doesn't hurt to ask!!

I had read the soap tutorial at the Farmer's Nest, as well as the many comments after it. Many people had problems with it thickening up. One person noted that most soap bars are 4 -5 oz, and her recipe called for an 8 oz bar. I see you used the 4.25 oz Yardley bar that I had bought from Walmart. I have not made it yet. Did your batch thicken up well? I was thinking I needed another bar before I made it. Thanks.

I will try it without the glycerin next time to see if I can make it NO cost! :)BarbLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352584190986870289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227104806337882062.post-90679347202192357202012-02-23T13:47:07.328-05:002012-02-23T13:47:07.328-05:00Let me know how it turns out!Let me know how it turns out!content2behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955835119046666936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227104806337882062.post-88729861875898977732012-02-23T13:46:46.327-05:002012-02-23T13:46:46.327-05:00Good luck!
