The Wooden Rectangle Silicone Soap Mould + Soap Cutter combo is a loaf-style soap making set that lets you pour a full batch of soap, unmould it easily thanks to the silicone liner, and then slice it into clean, even bars using the included straight and crinkle cutters. In short: it takes you from raw soap batter to neat, gift-ready bars with one affordable kit.
Priced at ₹1749 for the combo pack, this Azlok set is aimed at home soap makers who want a tidy, professional finish without buying separate moulds and blades. The wooden frame gives structure and a rustic look, while the smooth silicone liner does the real work of releasing your soap without tearing or sticking.
What's in the combo
- Wooden rectangular mould with a smooth silicone liner for easy release.
- Wooden soap cutter frame to hold your loaf steady while slicing.
- Wooden straight cutter (approx. 15.5 cm x 11 cm) for classic flat-edged bars.
- Wooden crinkle cutter (approx. 18.5 cm x 11.5 cm) for decorative wavy edges.
The cutters are made from wood with a stainless steel blade, and the whole set weighs around 400 grams. It's made in India and is reusable batch after batch.
What you can make with it
This mould is designed primarily for the cold process and melt-and-pour soap methods, where you pour liquid soap into a loaf mould and let it set before slicing.
- Classic rectangular soap bars for everyday use.
- Decorative bars with a crinkle edge for gifting and small-batch selling.
- Layered or swirled soaps, since the loaf format shows off patterns beautifully once cut.
Beyond soap, the sturdy cutters double up in the kitchen and craft room — for cutting blocks of wax, cheese, butter, fudge or dough. That flexibility makes the set useful even between soap batches.
How to use it, step by step
- Prepare your soap. Follow your cold-process or melt-and-pour recipe carefully, measuring and mixing as instructed.
- Pour into the mould. The silicone liner sits inside the wooden frame, so no extra greasing is usually needed. Pour slowly to avoid air bubbles.
- Let it set. Melt-and-pour soap firms up in a few hours; cold-process soap typically needs 24-48 hours in the mould before unmoulding.
- Unmould gently. Lift the wooden frame away, then peel back the silicone liner. The flexible liner releases the loaf cleanly.
- Cut your bars. Place the loaf in the wooden cutter and slice with the straight or crinkle blade for uniform bars.
- Cure if required. Cold-process bars need to cure for around 4-6 weeks in a dry, airy spot before use.
Care, storage and safety
A little care keeps this set working well for years.
- Clean promptly. Wash the silicone liner with mild soap and warm water, and wipe the wooden parts with a damp cloth rather than soaking them — prolonged water contact can warp or crack wood.
- Dry fully. Let everything air-dry completely before storing to prevent mould and swelling.
- Handle blades with care. The stainless steel cutting edges are sharp. Keep them out of reach of children and store safely.
- Mind the lye. Cold-process soap uses sodium hydroxide (lye), which is caustic. Always wear gloves and eye protection, work in a ventilated area, and follow trusted recipes. This is a general safety note, not soap-making instruction.
- Store away from direct heat and sunlight to protect both the wood and the silicone.
Buying tips for beginners
If you're just starting out, a loaf mould with matching cutters like this Azlok combo is one of the simplest ways to get consistent results. You avoid mismatched sizes and messy hand-cutting. Pair it with quality base oils, a soap-safe fragrance oil and colourant — many of which you'll find in Azlok's soap and candle making range — and you have everything for a first batch.
FAQ
Is this mould suitable for cold process soap?
Yes. The silicone liner tolerates the heat generated during cold-process saponification and releases the loaf cleanly once set. It also works well for melt-and-pour soap.
How many bars will one loaf make?
It depends on how thick you slice, but a standard loaf from a rectangular mould typically yields around 6-8 bars when cut to a comfortable everyday size.
Do I need to grease the silicone liner?
Usually not. Silicone is naturally non-stick, so most soaps release without any prep. For very sticky recipes, a light wipe of oil can help.
Can I put the wooden parts in water?
Avoid soaking the wood. Wipe the wooden frame and cutter with a damp cloth and dry them fully. Only the silicone liner should be washed under water.
Can the cutters be used for anything besides soap?
Yes. The straight and crinkle cutters work well for slicing wax blocks, and even kitchen items like cheese, butter or fudge, as long as they are cleaned properly between uses.
