Thank you sir! I’m glad your enjoying the Vanilla Safi.
And again today.... Frank - did all the time curing maybe impact the soap? I find the soap to be exceedingly comfortable. and almost rich. Maybe it's the vanilla scent that I'm smelling and causing me to feel the soap somehow differs from my other Ethos (pre-F) bases, but all I can say is that this soap is simply rocking for me.
I’m Glad you noticed that it’s a bit different from the old Standard base. That is what the new Standard base is like and the only soap I have that base out in currently is in the Lavender Supreme. It’s also a noticeably firmer than the old base so it can be loaded from the jar. Not as firm as the F Base but I have no issue loading from the jar and especially with a synthetic. The Vanilla and the soap did cure for quite some time and This coming year once I get caught up I may make soaps months in advance so they can cure at least 3 months as I think they are a bit better the longer they cure. Maybe it’s just me… but that’s how I feel about the subject.
Thanks my friend for the feedback it means a lot to me!
