It depends on what kind of look you prefer for your soap: subtle or a more pronounced 3D look. Most soapers use 3mm for half or sample bars and 5mm for bigger or full bars. According to our sales record, 3mm seems more appealing to ladies than gentlemen and most gentlemen prefer 5mm. Our bevel size is consistent every time all the time.

Yes, they are removable. Our cutter cuts 1" bars when all strings are fully installed. However, you can remove strings for cutting 2", 3", 4"... bars with 1" increment. Tip: you can remove the second string to use it like a single string cutter to cut any sizes that you want.

Although the stainless steel we use for our trimming products is very durable, sea salt in the soaps WILL damage the smoothness of the trimming element.

We have found the best container to work with our trimmers is a fiberglass dough proofing box- 16" x 30" x 2-7/8" from any restaurant equipment supplier. You simply hook our trimmer on the edge of the box and effortlessly plane or bevel without worrying about making a mess on your table. At the same time, it has plenty of space to collect all the trimmings.

Yes, you can, but you do not need to do it for years to come. Our "bladeless" trimmers are one-piece construction. They stay sharp for many years. However, if you wish to sharpen the trimming element in the future, simply use a diamond-coated nail file to sharpen it with horizontal motions.

PLEASE NOTE that the trimming element is a very intricate structure created by a CNC router. Please consult with us for instruction before you try to sharpen it.  

It is a cinch to clean our cutter. You can simply spray it with water, soak it in water or even put it in a dishwasher for a quick rinse. It is made of medical-grade stainless steel. It will never rust, no matter how you clean it.

1. Stainless steel has no pores at all, therefore it is free from contamination such as scents and any other particles that you would not want to transfer from previous usage. If your products are particularly made for SENSITIVE skin, stainless steel tools is your best option.
2. We only use medical grade stainless steel for our products. They can easily be cleaned simply by soaking in water or washing in a dishwasher.
