My first attempts after a long dry spell have yielded a couple odd soaps. The first was simple, no colors and just Anise essential oil. I poured at a nice medium trace with no issues.
My peppermint goats milk traced quickly and I had issue with my swirling attempts to make it look like a peppermint patty.
I'm still having issues with the slab mold I use for goats milk soaps when I cut the bars out. I lop off chunks of soap. I have a cheese wire I'll try next time to see if it helps and of course my new oval individual molds will be used now too. Still beveling works wonders and then as above with the Anise soap, so does packaging!
At least for now they are mine or gifts to friends and family who aren't judgy....
