Cut the Soap

After an hour and a half the soap is cut. Wrestling it out of the milk cartons is never easy and I am so sore it's ridiculous. Like for real. I did wear gloves so my hands have been saved. Raw soap under the fingernails is no good. So, here are 5 of the 7 blocks. I had already cut the basil-lime. The peppermint is slightly green. It's in the middle.

And here's the 4 trays of soap. Did some kid-size circles and made the big bars quite big. I tried to keep them between 5-6oz. The small soaps and spheres are 2-2.5 oz each. The picture is a little yellow. Basil-lime is at the top of the photo, peppermint is the right side, lemongrass is the left, and unscented is the bottom.

The recipe full of goodness. The soap will take 6 weeks to cure and be ready for use. I think next time I'll add more essential oils as they have a light scent which is fine for me but I know most people want more scent. They do all smell really clean.
