Soap Cutter - a thing of beauty (The Rose Cutter)

You may have seen all my posts about soap cutters. You can see how I started with a very basic cutter, then progressed to this which is great for cutting your slabs into logs and from that I decided I needed something to cut the logs into slices quickly. I tried to make a cutter for this purpose but it didn't really work. So then I built a single slice cutter which works really well but it is slow. When you have lots of bars to cut it can be very time consuming.

Well a few months ago I received an email from a lady called Rose who lives in America. She thanked me for the post I did on  the cutter that didn't really work and said she thought she may have a plan on how to improve it. We spoke about what would be needed to make it better and Rose said she would try to make it. I then got a mail from her to say she had made one and had also popped it in the post for me and I should look out for in the the next few weeks!! Rose asked if I could please test this cutter out for her and suggest any modifications and alterations. I am still amazed at the kindness imagination of this lady. Rose has never made soap before but clearly has an idea of what we soap makers are looking for in a cutter.

I was so excited when the parcel came. It felt like Christmas.

               

Rose also sent an oval mould with a pusher to get the soap out. I have yet to use the mould but that will be done in the next week.

Rose, you have an amazing heart and are truly generous. I LOVE this cutter.

Rose has since email me to say she thought it might be nice to have different size cutting inserts so when you want to cut a different size bar you remove the cutting wires and slot in a whole new insert with the wire width you want, screw it on and away you go. Very easy and very efficient.

I have made a YouTube video so you can see how this amazing cutter works. from now on this cutter will be know as the Rose Cutter
