I used half course and half fine in the loaf. Neither of them feel scratchy in the shower. The loaf bars I made are really pretty (color wise). I think one bar was like 8+ ounces.. lol. I tried to cut them in half later but they just broke instead of sliced. I knew they would but I thought I would try. Never know what you can do unless you try, right? <br />I thought you didn't like the sticky feel of the beer one. Or am I getting them mixed up? Hmmm.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552175758875062291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857889995242838779.post-5982410113448819712012-05-12T19:43:28.989-07:002012-05-12T19:43:28.989-07:00The ones from the individual molds don't even ...The ones from the individual molds don't even look like salt bars - they are so smooth!! I used a very similar recipe on the beer ones (except I used beer for the liquid, of course!) I think that one might end up being my favorite! Love the colors you used for the bars - even if they are a little imperfect. :)Amy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263798998556540686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857889995242838779.post-34379887556507947552012-05-12T15:46:25.852-07:002012-05-12T15:46:25.852-07:00It was really easy to cut them when they were stil...It was really easy to cut them when they were still warm. It's when I tried to cut them later that they crumbled. The top got messed up from the cardboard (really dumb move). If I make them again I will color them and put them in the individual molds still.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552175758875062291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857889995242838779.post-60570806002468572072012-05-12T15:11:24.442-07:002012-05-12T15:11:24.442-07:00Using single cavity molds really is easier than us...Using single cavity molds really is easier than using a loaf, but the colors are really nice on your loaf bars. I was too scared I'd cut them and they'd crumble, so took the safe route with an eight cavity oval mold. I'll have to try your layering technique next time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164818916773554995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857889995242838779.post-75705959863738121182012-05-12T13:53:56.524-07:002012-05-12T13:53:56.524-07:00Thank you so much Linda!

They are very firm and not as drying as 100% coconut was. I just added the loaf recipe to the post if anyone is interested in that one as well. It's slightly different than the other recipe.

I really struggled with the 80/20 rule and thought I'd risk it and go 100% to see what they were like and risk it even more with only a 10% superfat. I don't think they are bad, but I think I need to make a small batch to compare it with. Yours look really really nice!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147953304407807810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857889995242838779.post-73830814945606102482012-05-12T12:45:09.738-07:002012-05-12T12:45:09.738-07:00Wow, those are really sweet sweet soaps :)
