I think triple milled is a misnomer. Commercial soap is extruded with machines. Companies seem to make a big deal out of being triple milled. I don't think it makes the soap any better or worse. It's the formula that they use, that's what makes the difference. Many commercial companies purchase pre-...

Irena, I'm not sure that Tabac or Mitchell's are truly triple milled soaps, and these are the ones that sometimes behave like that ( cracking, fading out, etc. ). Rarely has anyone reported soaps like Trumpers or D R Harris's having those problems, and personally, I've used a lot of Trumpers in par...

Thank you from me too.

I don't know all the ingredients in all these different soaps, but I know that if you get a triple milled soap too wet, then let it dry out, it will crack and loose some lather. I would suggest remilling some shreds in the microwave, then add a small amount of glycerin.

Very nice! I have the same light blue Gillette.

I don't have any pics like that, but those are pretty cool!

That's great to hear!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Just put BOGO in the comments section of the shopping cart and I'll take care of it. Have fun shopping!

I'll have to look for the article. Congrats!

I don't agree with all of it, but it will give you a better idea.

Welcome from another soapmaker!

Looks like you tried quite a few. Do you have a farmer's market or a street fair near you? I would recommend trying an unscented got's milk soap bought from the soapmaker with no middle man involved.

I don't drink soda. It's something I never grew up with. I do like iced tea though. I tried the artificial sweeteners and they give me a headache. I have since switched to stevia and the headaches are gone. As far as water, my tap water is pretty bad. You can taste the chlorine in it and it has a we...

I haven't heard of this before. I've used witch hazel on ocassion. I'll have to try it next time I need it. Thanks for the tip!

Don't you just love tracking? I hope you get it by Friday.
