After weeks of curing, I finally was able to use my first ever batch of cold process soap yesterday. I have to tell you, it is amazing! Best soap I've ever used! I'm so pleased with it. The bars are super hard, and SUPER lathery! I mean, like, bubbles EVERYWHERE. And it's just so smooth and so nice...
Criticisms? It was only a one pound batch, first of all, and seeing as I haven't gotten any decent soap molds, yet, the bars came out rather small (only 2 oz). Also, it definitely needs more fragrance. I, personally, like things smelling very strong and fragrant! This has a very light coffee/chocolate smell. It's good, but I think it could use more!
Now...if only my shipment of lye would come in....

Oooh that sounds fantastic! I like strong smells too. I have a weak sense of smell, so those weak scents are pretty much non existant to me!
Mmm.... that looks like a latte!!
yumm! looks amazing!
looks delicious!
They look delicious! and remember, not everyone likes a strong smelling soap, a delicate hint of scent is also really nice, they do look really scrummy!
I bet that smells so yummy! I like the look of it..very organic.
Thanks for the comments everyone! :)

my son thinks it looks like fudge! i love good soap. i've tried making it a couple of times...hats off to you!
Looks great, I bet it smells awesome!
It looks just like fudge - butterscotch and caramel. Yum!!
I'm totally confused. You BEGAN making cold process soap in Jan. 2008 and then put it up for sale on Etsy?
You are NOT experienced enough nor have enough knowledge making cold or hot process soap to be selling.
I don't know about your other products, but a newbie selling CP soap [and who knows what % lye solution/water discount you used] is unethical.
Please remove your soap products from any place you have them for sale, and join some serious soap-making fora.
