I did a full handmill on this batch, Im very happy with it now! Origionally this batch seized on me and became rock hard immediatly so I had a ton of air pockets in it. I very slowly melted it down and as always it made my entire house smell heavenly. I let it sit overnight after I shredded it with a little more colorant and a tiny bit of water and started the handmilling process early in the morning. By about noon it was ready. I added more fragrance after I readied my mold and poured it in. I cut it this morning, its a hard, excellent soap. Im so happy with how it turned out, even if it isnt what I had imagined in my head before I started out. I added a few chunks of white soap that I had on hand for a bit more texture in the soap. My favorite thing about handmilling besides getting a superior soap is its ready right away! Im using a slice in the shower tonight! YUM!
