It is very easy to handmill soap. Here I do it with homemade soap but you can do the same with store bought, plain, unscented, white soap. Just make sure what you are buying says SOAP on it somewhere. I use pot marigold (Calendula) and Yarrow to make an anti-micrbial soap that is good for wounds but almost any herb, essencial oils, oatmeal, corn meal, honey, sugar, coconut milk…the list goes on in combination can be put into a milled soap to make a person healing soap.

Did you not finish the 2nd part of this video, I can't find it. I really liked the first part , it's very informative.
are we able to add citrus grating during this process instead of flowers?
Your videos are great!
I've never made soap before but I followed your venison tallow soap recipe. I've got the deer tallow soap out of the mould and cut, just letting it sit. Once the soap is cured and milled could I add lemon juice instead of water before heating? I saw one yayhoo simply add lye to lemon juice but the soap never set as the lye and acids made things go wonky. I really wanted to add lemon and oatmeal to the milled soap.
I making lye soap for more than a year now and I love it. I can used different oil and butter.
i, too, am in Wisconsin!
How many ounces in your bar of soap? Every soap maker ends up with a different size
