    Default Ahh the smell

    I just warmed up all my TGQ soaps in the microwave and poured them into there bowls, Ahh this place smells so good, with notes of Bay and Sandlewood eminating through the air, followed with Cavindish, Ironwood and Lime, ....lol I must be losing my mind. My place smells like a head shop.

    Update, the soap takes less then 10 seconds to melt in the microwave, but is still in a liquid state in there bowls 20 mins later..... biting my nails here, I hope this stuff hardens up ...lol

    it will harden up but hopefully you stirred it a few times to keep the clay suspended

    This is one of those moments I really do miss having room for a microwave in my 420 sq. ft. apartment.

    I wouldn't worry about the clay too much. Even liquefied, that soap has enough glycerin to keep things in suspension for a good long while.

    Good to hear Mike! I enjoy the scents of my soaps as well (including Tabac ). Now when I step into my bathroom there's always a soap or two greeting me.

    Mike did the soaps solidify as expected? I'm curious because I have a bowl of Wool Fat soap that's cracking (very dry here anyway) and when I saw this post I realized I can nuke it and smooth it all out. Seems a good idea anyway to prevent mold beneath the cake.

    Whew , yes they did solidify. They even lathered up the same as before I melted them.
