Remember the Rosemary&Peppermint soap from the mold failure post? Well here it is rebatched. It looks really good for a rebatched soap! I cooked it in the crock for 4 hours and 30 minutes so there should not be shrinkage later. After that amount of time, the soap assumes a consistently very simular to hot process soap. When I put this in a mold, I did not leave any excess and the top was bumpy. I like soap with straight edges so I cut off the "crown" and got a shorter bar. Another soap I wanted to rebatch, I made sure I overfilled the mold to get a significant "crown" on top so I can cut this and get regular sized bars. More on this later.This soap was real heavy on the peppermint so I was able to drive alot of it off and add a little more rosemary EO to bring about some herbal balance. After a week or so I will be able to shower up and see how it turns out.
