Tested the soap it is amazing, but doesn't last long due to the high superfat. I believe with my typical usage each bar might last one week.

You forgot the crystallization of the soap structure is part of the curing. The soap could be hard and water all evaporated, but the soap could still be arranging in a crystal structure. I noticed that the soap in the soap that I made before that the longer it cures the better the lather, even if all the water evaporated.

Update I mixed it for more than 40 minutes and I got not trace using a hand mixer and I didn't pulse I used it the full 40 minutes, I decided to heat in a double boiler for a few minutes to speed up the process then I mixed it a little again and poured it. The last few parts of the mixture seems to have reached medium trace. Will it be okay?
