You have made a really attractive cake of soap and I can only imagine how good it smells and how delightful it will be to use. I buy my handmade soap in bulk from a farmer's market (and keep it for months so,it lasts longer) but reading this really makes me want to gave a go - and lay to rest the memory of the ghastly grey gloop we made at Chemistry Club when I was about 12!

The supplies might not even be good anymore. I think this sounds like a nice combination of ingredients and they look very pretty and neat.

It does seem a bit scary and I know I would leave major ingredients out ending with a product that would probably take a layer of skin off.. I love your technical jargon! Have a good week.

Opening them one evening to have with coffee I thought they had a very strong, though pleasant aroma. On further brief investigation I realised it was a pack of small, elaborate soaps.
