Cheap or steep part 2 - the results! Are cheap soap making oils just as good as the most expensive?

Today we are bringing you Part Two of our "Cheap Or Steep!" soap making experiment - the results!

Though we only published part one last Friday, the soaps have already been curing or between 5 and 6 weeks and we can't wait any longer to see how they turn out.

In today's video, we analyse both the final cheap and final steep bar and chat through what we like about them. We then do a blind "wash test" to see which soap we rate as the best. Is it possible that the cheap bar could outperform the steep one, or is it a no-brainer that the steep one will in hands down? Watch our results video, to see which way things turn out!
