Anyone every try making soap in a blender? I love it, although you can only make 1 lb. at a time. But, it traces so quickly, you could easily make another 1 lb. batch and add it before anything starts happening.
I've never used a blender, but I have had great success using an immersion hand blender. Pretty much the same results except you aren't limited by 1 lb. batches. I highly recommend buying one to use just with soap.
