Thanks for the kind words and input guys. I managed to make a few more scents for Christmas AND the bars aren’t quite so ugly or random (because they need to look good for Santa). My new Daughter in Law had expressed an interest in finding a work from home hobby/job (a necessity she and many others now share) so I have built her a soap making kit and formula. If she ends up liking it I see a day when CBL SOAP bars can be outsourced ...if she wants to develop and explore, you guys might end up with some interesting options.
The newest soaps are a little different in that they are made with a dollop of my “master barber beta 1 add-in premix” added to the batch, and made to look more uniform. Why? Because I was asked to make a few soaps that appeal to the ladies. So now I have 2 ladies fragrances (some has been spoken for, some available for purchase) and 2 Christmas themed scents. The Christmas themed ones were made specifically so I could gift a few bars to a specific person, they are made with the same basic formula but have a BIG spoonful of the special add-in. Between the add-in and the shorter dry/cure time these bars are somewhat softer than my others. They lather and feel good, and my wife really likes the way one of them smells.
what I have available (but not on the website)
Still have a decent amount of the first 4 scents (ugly bars)
“Smells like Christmas Tree” 3+ ounce nice looking 3x3x.75bar
“Campfire Christmas” 3+ ounce nice looking 3x3x.75 bar
“Leather & vetiver” 3 once good looking 2x3x1 (or something like that)
2 ladies scents I dare not name ...but they are perfume knock-offs, good looking 2x2x3 chunky bars.
if you NEED soaps for Christmas let me know. I have other stuff I have to make and get on the website, I’ll get the soaps on there officially soon.
