Since everyone's all into soapmaking now, it seems like a good time to ask my question. Ok, well, I started making soap last year, and I haven't really done it for a long time. Basically because the soap was just kinda gross! Even with scents it smells pretty bad, has no lather, and doesn't give a "clean" feeling when I used it. I bought all my stuff at Micahel's, the glycerin, scents and dyes. You all seem to have been using the same stuff. Am I doing something wrong? Please help! I really want to make soaps for gifts this year. Thanks!
