I just wanted to show off my latest batch of homemade soap that I made yesterday. These are actually shampoo bars, but the difference is in the ingredients, not the method of making them.
This is my first batch of hot-process soap. It was made in a Crock Pot and only took about 90 minutes, including clean-up.
In the past I've always made cold-process soaps. There are advantages to each method, but in terms of curing time, hot-process wins hands down. While still soft, it can be used the day after it is made, as opposed to several weeks of curing time with the cold-process version.
Because it was my first time, I didn't try to take any photos as I made it. I plan to make another batch this weekend and will try to enlist Shane's help so that I can write a tutorial with pictures. Stay tuned for that.
