Well you know - they don't get the excitement when things work - around soap
that is! I understand, I don't get it either when the motorbikes are
running better because of stuff - and they get way more excited than me,
when it's the bikes.
The charcoal soap lather is a little off white - maybe better after a bit of
a cure - we'll see.
TD - well first time I used way too much - but hey, the soap is the
smoothest I have ever made, and I loved the colour - haven't used it yet.
Today, well I tried a swirl in the pot and poured into my upright moulds -
colour good, but I did too much fussing before I poured! And the swirls
don't stand out enough. Sort of vortex like - but not enough. Still going
to keep trying. I'm determined to get it right!

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.
