Pat -- soap jeweler

[Guest guest]

I have an inexpensive soap jeweler, but to be honest, a good ol' fashioned

potato peeler works the best for me! This is the soap beveler that I have,

though, in case you are interested:

Thanks Debra! I usually use a paring knife, but sometimes a potato

peeler. Just thought it might be easier with a jeweler.

For those of you who use soap trimmers for your soap edges. Try this and see if

you like it better. Actually less waste. Learned it a few years ago from

another soaper, now don't use a trimmer or peeler unless I'm want to.

Get a sponge that has the scrubby thing on one side. Fill your sink with the

hottest water your hands can stand. Dump your soap bars in the hot water( at

least 3 week old, doesn't have to be totally cured, unless that is when you

trim) scrub the edges lightly with the scrubber then use the sponge on all the

soap. Then set on a rack to dry completely. This not only " softens " the sides,

but brings out the luster of the soap bars. Just try it on a bar or two, and

see if you like this. Do it as quick as you can, so you don't melt that much

soap.
