Cool.  Makes sense to use alkanet and charcoal/black oxide.  By keeping the
particulate black (charcoal/oxide) levels low the soap should lather white.

 

What happened with the TiO2 soap?

I have to share with people that DO understand.

 

I have finally made a black soap!  Yes, I'm not sure why, but it has been a
challenge.  I've only been able to achieve varying shades of metal gun grey.
I have just unmoulded and cut this afternoon and it is a lovely, smooth
black!  Colour is alkanet root infused olive oil and charcoal.  The tip was
on The Dish forum.  Now just have to see if the colour of the lather is
white or grey!

 

Also unmoulded my second try at using Titanium Dioxide.  The result not
quite as I envisaged.  Still, back to the drawing board and try again.
