Teach Soap

What do you think are the most essential ingredients to be purchased. I am new to this hobby. I was looking to purchase the swirl kit from Bramble but aside from that would like to know what other things i would need. How many colors should i get? Scents? I dont want to have a whole lot, this hobby can get pretty expensive. Just the essentials you think i would need. Please advice! So i can put my order in. I know i kneed a soap cutter, some colorings and scents, extra melt and pour base and a few molds.Is there anything i am missing? Please advice!

From what you're describing, sounds like you will be set for a little while.

PS. Micas make good colors too.

I'm kind of a tool whore, so I would suggest:
A fine mist sprayer (for rubbing alcohol 90% pure or greater)
Microwavable containers
Plastic wrap
white paper towels
NON-bleeding colorants
and finally PJ Soaps Mini Tool Kit (available at Bramble Berry)

Even though I designed the kit it's called the "Mini Tool Kit" because it's the essential tools I use to make PJ Soaps. About 85% of the soaps I make CAN'T even be made without use of these tools. http://www.brambleberry.com/Melt-Pour-T ... P3692.aspx

Here's a short list BB fragrances I regard as essential:
Sensuous Sandalwood
Gardenia
Orange Spice
Juniper Sage
Pink Grapefruit
Christmas Tree
