I love that you say you don't have to worry about temps and be all fussy with making soap. And I love that you don't wear gloves and glasses and stuff. Lol. I don't wear any protective stuff or worry about temps when making my soap. I too am mostly about function over fussy. I don't even know how to do a swirl. Lol. Though I do love to watch Katie do it on royalty soaps. I just make very basic soaps. Lol

When I started saying, I was going nuts but trying to get the temps within range. I ended talking to a couple of so soap makers. They taught to soap at room temperature. It was a game changer. Now my soaps look and perform way better. Got my confidence up in the craft as well. Even made two batches of Pine Tar.👍🏻

Just rewatched your making simple soap recipe. This recipe is what made you my favorite soaper to watch; a lot of others frustrate me to no end with soap making rules. That brought me to this...I don't remember anyone ever saying this, but surely I'm not the only one that can tell by smell when soap has reached the point in mixing that it will set up. The trace test is what I always go by, but at about that time the smell of the soap changes subtly. I don't know how to explain it, but I think that is the point of suponification. I know. I over think. But it was interesting to me.

I've smelled it too! But for me, it's more of an overall feeling. I can feel slight changes through my hand and the mixer ( most days).

Ok, now you need to make a video that goes into detail sodium lactate. I have never heard of it and I have a recipe (of my own) that comes out REALLY soft in the beginning. It has a lot of goodies like pureed cucumber, aloe leaf, rice milk (home-made), home grown mulberry silk (dissolved in the lye water before pouring) and green clay. I know, it's not simple but OH MA GAH the lather is just divine and leave my hands feeling nice.

I can do an info vid about sodium lactate for sure! Although, your soap may just always be soft. The pureed stuff tends to do that to soap. Making it harder may not work.. or could kill that lather. But I'll definitely work on the sodium lactate video😁
