Thanks, Janice.

loved your blog. I would love to try that soap!!

bricore: I think your handmilled soap would turn out even better if you used real soap (i.e., cold process soap) instead of Irish Spring ;-) But really, it's great that you are able to turn a mediocre bar of "soap" into something that works well on your skin.

I've ordered several books from Amazon because they are so much cheaper there. Who cares if it isn't a brand new book...just going to get soap or oils on it anyway! LOL!! One of my favorite books is 'The Everything Soapmaking Book' by Alicia Grosso. Another is 'The Complete Book Of Essential Oils & Aroma Therapy'by Valelrie Ann Worwood. Also, 'The Soapmaker's Companion' by Susa Miller Cavitch. I have discovered after oprdered a zillion books, that it either gets very repetetive or almost totally useless. This is all IMHO though. I have rebatched soaps that haven't turned out either texturally or scentwise with some pretty amazing results. Good luck to you!
