About my orders: Have purchased two 2.2lb trays of GM base twice, and others from CS, by now. Shipping was !! under !! 2 full business days, which means CandleScience is the fastest shipper of soap related supplies lately. And the shipping price is reasonable (to my locale especially when it comes from the non-NV warehouse/site), considering free ground promo shipping from other (two) retailers means a 2-3 week (did I pay fr someone to sit in a warehouse dillydallying sort of) wait rn. And CS packs these carefully so that the plastic trays don't crack in transit. CS for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!
About the soap:
— I am a wimp and the thought of a 25lb. box scares the poop out of me, so I buy 2.2lb trays despite the volume of soap I have been making lately. Very easy to visually estimate how many ounces I'm cutting from the block; and the visual estimation is always close, if not the right, amount.
— The 127d melting point is accurate with a double boiler set up (really who needs a microwave wasting space in their home). As 127d hits, there is still a mound of soap in the melted portion. I poke it around slowly using an ultra slow side to side motion (to prevent bubbles) until the mound melts, which happens without hitting high temps.
— Easy to work with and consistent—like that I don't have to waste a whole dump of soap to try different ideas.
— This retains eo scents well enough. It'll hold top notes, but they won't hold like the middle notes weeks after the pour. Also works well enough for all sorts of different scent ratios.
— This will sweat (I've been working with this in July 71.5% av. humidity) and should be wrapped or dropped in a sealed container quickly post de-mold.
— No out of box soap smell (unlike the grossness of Stephenson Shea).
— Lather is a soft creamy one.
