This is for MP and CP. When I take my soap out of the wooden mold, or a silicone loaf mold and cut, the sides usually look rough and unkempt. How do I evenly trim the soap for a more professional look?

See if you can buy a miter box and a spackle knife at your local hardware store.

I find that one of those fancy hand held cheese shavers works beautifully (a lot better than it does on cheese). You know the thing, it's got a handle with a rounded triangle piece of metal at the top that just has a slit in it that you drag gently over the cheese for paper thin slices.

Hope that makes sense - I am the soap tool whore BTW. hehehe

Some people like their soap to appear neat and trimmed well, but I love the natural look and some roughness in appearance. There is a soap maker in my area and he and his wife have some bars of soap that appear there was one long bar with straight edges, but broken in the middle. I love the rustic look.

The miter box is a good idea and also a vice or something to firmly hold the bar or loaf and use a small hand planer.
