Cream Soap Adventures

I just wanted to give a little update on my cream soaping adventures.  Everything worked out pretty well, and I like the end result:

This is the raw soap after cooking and letting it "relax" post-supercreaming

Looks almost good enough to eat, right?  This is the finished product, ready for fragrances and additives.  It's really nice as is as a shaving cream.  Nice and thick!

So anyway, I will start taking orders for this neat stuff soon... I just have to figure out what to package it in.  I *think* I've got jars, but I would like to put it in a squeeze bottle or something.  It really all depends on the consistency.  I read that this stuff can get stiff after a week or so, so I'm going to let it cure for a little while to see what happens, and adjust accordingly.
