    Before rushing out to sell your soap....be sure that you've done your homework (this should take months or even years) and you have lots and lots of successful batches under your belt. Then please price your soap to sufficiently compensate yourself for all the hard work and time you've put into it. The last thing we need are more uninformed hobbyists selling inferior soaps at dirt cheap prices... ruining it for those of us who are responsible and are trying to make a living with this craft.
