I made some mistakes with my first batch and learned from them. I still see a few issues here, mostly from panicking as the batter thickened and starting off a little too warm because I noticed my mixing bowl had a tiny hole that was leaking oil so I mixed the lye and oil a bit hotter than I should have, they were still close in temp though.

I used homemade soap for the first time recently. People who haven’t tried it are missing out. My skin felt so good afterward. I needed to learn to make my own. There is a LOT that can go into it and after this batch I’m working on developing my own recipes that will achieve the features I want. My wife wants to try using goat milk and that has its own complications but still not too challenging.

Good luck! The goat's milk soaps were my absolute favorites of all!
