Hi,

My name is Itchy and I'm just getting into soap making, reading all the books, doing internet research etc.

I have yet to make my first batch and was wondering what would be a good recipe for an absolute beginner? I don't have a great deal of kitchen space, so it would have to be small experimental batches.

Any ideas for a newbie? :oops:

Many thanks

Itchy

Welcome!
You posted in the glycerin MP soap section. If that's what you are using, then all you need to do is melt some, add fragrance or color, pour into your chosen mold, then let harden. When cool, pop out of your mold and it's ready to use.

If this is for cold process soap, you would get more answers in the CP soap section of the forum. viewforum.php?f=2
For more info about cold process soap, take a look at Kathy Miller site. http://www.millersoap.com/#Soap Contents
