It doesn't matter whether you are an experienced or newbie soap maker, what matters is how accurately you measure your ingredients particularly when making cold pressed soap.I realised after measuring some of my ingredients for my last batch of honey & oatmeal soap that my electronic scales were playing up. I hoped for the best and chose to keep soaping.
Yuck, look at what my end result was. Too much lye in the mixture resulted in something that was very brittle and unpleasant, definitely too harsh to use on the skin as it is. My trusty old scales have now been sent to greener pastures and a shiny new set are waiting to be used.
