Sample kill. This soap has a tallow base but I find it’s different than my favorite Stirling base. It seems more delicate and susceptible to foaming up. Precision Loading has been a solid technique for me, no matter the base. The scent is amazing.
Weird, I find NO base to be on the non-foamy side. I find that whatever size it is after loading, it stays that size while you add water. And it doesn’t take a whole lot of water to make it dense and wonderful.

Have a great Friday!

I’m sure it’s me/my technique. I’ll go with less water next time.
