I have a few question regarding carving, hopefully someone can help out!
1) In previous threads, it was mentioned that if you used your pencil to layout the lines, and you pressed too hard and made grooves - you'd be penalized for that. If you were to use your blade to layout the lines, wouldn't you be doing the same thing? My question is, do you get penalized for making grooves instead of surface marks - like with the marker?
3) When people talk about the excess flash, are they referring to the raised line that runs along the entire bar and the flat ends of the soap? So we are allowed to remove these bumps during the "pre-carving" period? I hope so because these bumps are making it difficult to lay down those end lines with accuracy.
Thanks!
