I found this link which has some fun soaper descriptions. What type of soaper are you ?
Here are a few excerpts taken from the site.
The Expense Artists: Hundreds invested in box molds and high tensile strength wire cutters and all the fad oils and fats. Well stocked shelves bulging with packages of dyes and pigments, additives and the like. They usually only make one batch a week.
The Stir Crazy: Easy to spot because of the really well developed dominant arm and shoulder. Often these are the Castile Makers. Sometimes they just tend toward the 80% oils to 20% fats. They just love to stir soap. For days and days ’til they get a trace. Kind of a well earned reward.
Group Soapers: They gather in the evening, in the kitchens and basements of our country (and others as well). The group leaders all get the ‘funny looks’ from neighbors, and no wonder … when the designated lye stirrer is on the back porch stirring a steaming mixture, and the rest of the crew is gathering over a big pot of something. Chanting is optional.
The Latherists: If you run your finger over it twice and it doesn’t immediately start to froth, it needs more coconut, palm kernel, or castor oil. If it didn’t dry skin out, their soap would be 100% coconut.
