  • Thank you for your awesome videos! But

    I thought french milled meant it went through metal rollers and turned into thin sheets then compacted into shapes.

    This is hand milling then rebatching I think.

  • I tried this & I just detest rebatching. It makes no sense at all to spend all that time making the soap, then breaking it down & remaking it...too time-consuming for me !

  • @Fangirlwhocanspell I think I was having some problems with the computer or something, it works fine now. but then it was 3 years ago lol :)

  • Why can't you just put in the oils and stuff the first time you are making the soap before you put it in the molds?

  • @ShesThe1yup You must have it on mute; I can hear it just fine

  • This is the THIRTEENTH video in this series.

  • The real question is.... Why? when shop only cost something like 70 cents a bar maybe

  • what a mission!

  • @wonderwoman27229 I would use many old little soap bars. Why would you - as you noticed - remake the soap you just made? haha

  • i would love to try this but ur videos r soooo broken up that i not sure what step gose when

  • Can I add some glycerin to my batch of hand milled soap when I add the other ingredients? Also how much could I add to a 12 oz batch of grated soap?

    Thanks.
