I want to make liquid soap like Dr. Bronner's. All that I have made is either slimey or cloudy and slimey. Any ideas?

I use Potassium Hydroxide to make liquid soap. I used to grate up my bars that I'd made with Sodium Hydroxide and melt them in water, but it never becomes a smooth, liquid soap for me. If I make my soap with Potassium Hydroxide however, I only need to dilute it with water, simmer it on the stove for a bit, and then I have nice, liquid soap.
