Soap History
Gone are the days of tossing every meat scrap available into a cast iron pot set in the backyard, pouring in lye and hoping that it turns to soap! It's still fun to read about the old ways. In fact, soapmakers today should feel quite smug. Within a few minutes, modern soapmakers can toss a one-pound batch of soap into a blender, pour the soap into molds and know it's good soap.

Commercial Soap
The A & J Company consults with commercial soapmakers. (I'm talking large-scale here.) It is my experience that large commercial soap companies 'don't have a clue' when it comes to hand-crafted soap. Who knows? Maybe some day you will need the services of a commercial consultant. Dream big!
