Today we tried some for the first time. I found it to be exactly like soap! It wasn't a very foamy lather, but felt nice and creamy. I only tried it on my arms, just in case, and they seem just like normal after a shower. It is a bit of a worry because the caustic soda that goes in to soap is very... well... caustic... which you wouldn't want to be rubbing on yourself. But the saponification (chemical reaction that makes soap from alkali and fat which apparently an acid) seems to have happened.
The bar seemed nice and hard but not so hard you had to scrub to hard to get any off.
We plan on making some more. Silicon molds would be easier.
