I am starting my jar tomorrow so took a few minutes, as I always do, to weigh the container and soap. Joe has always said he fills soaps on Volume and not weight and it must be the case. Most of my RR soaps come in anywhere from 10-20+grams less then their volume would be if it was in grams (is, 120ml of soap often weighs 100g for me).
Below are the numbers for RR SMdF for anyone interested. Not picking on RR for the weights or measurements as he has been open about how it's weighed and don't recall ever seeing RR soaps weighed in grams. I just prefer to know what the Gram weight is as that is what I track after I complete a soap and in like to know the cost per gram.
Glass Jar Empty, NO lid - 341.6g
Raw soap weight - 519.8
The actual weight of the soap in the container, in grams, works out to be - 178.2g. So for those people thinking this is 250g of soap, it isn't.
Below are pics. The full soap jar shows 4g less then it is, as I had removed 4g to sample when it first arrived.
And yes, I need to clean my sink.
