When you get a little too attached to a custom order...
After all, you’ve been through a lot together - late nights, a few gray hairs, and maybe a couple of tears along the way.
This Boreas was one of those. Alex’s didn’t want to let it go 🤷‍♀️
But now it’s on the way to the soap studio it belongs to 💝 FYI it slices soap at a crisp 3/8” like it’s even possible 🫪 cutting soap like a pro 👌

“Nuance” soap mold caught the lilac bloom this spring 💜
The old peach silicone liner gave way to a softer lilac shade, the kind of color you’d find beside dried flowers, soap oils, and wooden shelves in a quiet studio. If only molds could carry the same lilac aroma 💟
Photos hardly catch it properly, but in person it adds one of those understated luxurious touches you end up wanting in your studio.
And if lilac isn’t your shade, liner colors are still open to custom requests.

The “Sage Temple” is now open 🌿🪵🤩
Our new Sage/Oak colorway has officially made its way out! Soft, grounded, and made for soap studios that already smell like herbs, clay, rain, and good decisions.
You can now find it across our soap mold listings and soapmaking tools.
If you don’t see it yet, just message us and we’ll help.

The misfits 🙌

Soap Molds with little cosmetic touch like spilled colorant, unusual notch spacing, funny corners but still fully functional and ready to serve in your soap shop.

Now hanging out in our Outlet section 🤍

There’s a moment in soapmaking when the whole studio wakes up. The scent is there, the slab is ready, your hands are steady, and the cutter starts to glide….
No force, no fight.. Just a clean pass through the soap... 🫠
Of course I’m talking about our Olympus.🤭
Pair it with our midnight colored soap molds and we can match the slab cutter to the same finish.
Swipe to see the Midnight one. 🌙 For a complete soapmaking setup. 👆
Just a reminder: Each one is handmade to order and takes us 2–3 days to build. 14 already in queue. If you’re waiting, we’re on it. If not… don’t wait. 🌱
Btw Alex just got a new camera, so we can finally show these tools the way they actually look. We’ll be slowly updating product photos across the site. 🍃 #

Happy Easter 🌿
Spring doesn’t ask for attention, it just quietly changes everything.
The light shifts. The air softens. Colors return, but not loudly… more like a whisper. That same feeling (and my new obsession with green tones) found its way into these new liners: earthy sage (my fav), cool eucalyptus (completely accidental color when we fail to make sage but too pretty to be ignored), and our soft lilac blossom that will replace the main peach color in “Nuance” line. It feels right. Herbal, grounded, familiar like the kind of soap that feels honest before you even use it.
Just like our beloved Groot mold peachy tone, these colors don’t compete. They step back. They let your soap be the story! Only enhancing what’s already there.
Because the best tools don’t steal the show.
They make everything else look better. Coming mid April (cause we got orders to make duuuh). Truly yours, Alex&Alex artisanal soap making

Aaaaand CUT! 🎬 Yesterday you saw the teaser.
Today you see what six months of design and building looks like. Meet the “HARVESTER”

This started as a project for a soapmaking factory that needed a way to cut slab soaps while keeping the decorated tops clean and intact at production speed (they chose our Argo molds and the machine is specifically designed for them)

A custom solution that may become the first of many.
If all goes well, we plan to release these for other soapmakers later this year.

Effortless. Flawless. Seamless. Next-level.
Aaaaaand very ChatGPT 😂
Well that’s very “revolutionary” 😮‍💨
I doubt we’d come up with that much praise for our own tools.
But truth be told - it’s a lie 🍎
Here’s what we actually believe.
Our tools don’t make you a better artist.
You already are one. ☝️
A tool should stay out of your way. Feel solid.
Work the same every time.. Let your hands do what they already know how to do.
When we took this photo it reminded me of the workers in Lunch atop a Skyscraper ... (somehow) 🤷‍♀️
Nothing beats hard work and people who care. And community!
We don’t sell magic.
We don’t sell a fantasy.
We build to last.
YOU bring the craft.
P.S. This post is sponsored by a glass of wine and the realization that we train AI - not the other way around 🍷
