I've just bought 2 lots of soap offcuts from different suppliers
The first (which hasn't arrived yet) cost £12 a kilo + £3 postage.
The second one (which I found after I'd placed the other order) arrived today 1.9kg cost £12.50 including postage. There are 29 bars of soap and at least 9 varieties. Not individually labelled but there is a list of ingredients for each colour soap - if you can match them! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174644732494?...SwdGtgL8Rs
Although they're sold as "wedges" you wouldn't really notice the taper on most of them.
Smell nice too!

Have you bought these all to use yourself? I thought maybe pass some on as 'stocking fillers' to family for Crimbo, or is that being mean?  

On a different tack, I buy a lot of scented candles and don't like to throw the remains away or the glass jars. I bought some wicks but could deffo ge into making candles from scratch,I just don't know how to start?

I was thinking a few soaps for Christmas presents. I’ll decide when they arrive.

as for candle making.there’s loads of companies that specialise in the equipment . I used to make them , but decided I wasn’t very good and got quite board with it. I’d start with YouTube videos. I’d probably would of been better at it if I’d done that.
