Welcome to newly arriving members. Will you take a moment to drop us a line?

- Where you from?

- Do you make soap right now? If so, what kinds? what do you like?

- If not, are you interested and researching, or just here for the soap pr0n? Which is fine too.

- Any burning questions? (One free newbie q per introduction!)

The hand soap was solid.

Yes, after reading the first part of your tutorial, I think I will definitely start simple. Thanks for the tips!

"Walkthrough", not "tutorial" :) I'm not planning to put nearly enough detailed safety information in this walkthrough for me to feel comfortable calling it a tutorial.

Starting simple is good! I started with melt and pour, then rebatch, then did a workshop on cold process, then did that for a long time starting simple with three oils/one fragrance/one colour/no additives, then did more complicated things with swirling and layering and additives like milk and honey which complicate things, then tried CPOP (cold process oven process), then tried and stuck with DWCP (Discounted Water Cold Process).
