Here it is after 28 hours. It was firm to the touch, but was wet.

Unmolded but very damp. There was some water when I slipped it out of the mold.

Using some commercial soap I was able to figure out how to score my soap. We used a small right square to mark off the bars.

Another look.

One more view before the first cut.

I started to cut it but my husband was a "little" stronger so he did it for me. Oh, alright. The truth is my husband doesn't trust me with knives. I always cut myself.

One row down, two to go.

Now to cut the soap into individual bars.

Thirty-three 2-3 ounce bars, I hope. We shall see what they weigh once they cure and dry.

This is the reason why I am learning how to make soap.

Aren't they pretty! all my bars ready to cure and dry.
