Making Natural Soap

As I type, the team, under the careful guidance of Eri-san, is currently busy making the very first batch of BEE Natural Soap!
Eri-san guided us through the process of using lye to saponify vegetable oils (along with some essential oils — orange and rose — for that extra nice smell).
After about 40 minutes of stirring, the batch is ready to dry and set (unfortunately, the soap won’t be ready before we bike on tomorrow, but Eri-san was kind enough to provide us with some ready-made natural soap we can take along).
Thanks for the interesting update. I enjoy reading all your entries as you proceed along the road.
Gives us a better idea of what days are alike, in addition to the “biking”!! Take care of each other!

dude, I love the photo with the tattoos, michiko london apron (!!!), and soap. I am jealous (of the soap and the tattoos, but not of the shufu-apron). Yeah!
