New Soap Stamp with my Logo

A few weeks back i decided to order a soap stamp with my logo from Lasercutz.co.uk. 

The stamp is made from acrylic (perspex) which gives it good compressibility. 

The soap came through the post a few days back and i have only tried it on my new batch of 'Rose & Geranium' Soap but I'm already in LOVE with it!!! 

These are a few pictures taken soon as i sliced the soap.  I was instructed to make a batch test and stamp at different stages throughout the curing process, however my first attempt proved success full so i just stamped away.
