Hi all!

Many of you have sent me emails, Facebook messages, and reddit messages asking me about when the Seville in Reserve products are going to ship. Because it takes a lot of time to answer each message individually, I thought it might be better to do this in one nice big billboard-y update post.

We had to order additional stock of one of the botanical materials for the aftershave base, and all such materials have to be tested for microbial growth before they can be used in the final product. We should have the micro-test results for this stuff as of tomorrow, and production will likely take about two weeks from that time. So, overall, we expect to HAVE (not SHIP) the aftershave within about 18 days.

Once we have the aftershave base in hand, we have to blend in the fragrance and bottle it, so we expect to start shipping the orders within three weeks' time.

We've otherwise begun making the soap and plan to ship as many orders that do not contain aftershave as possible by the end of the week. This isn't a ton, but it will at least allow us to get SOME of them out to you folks.

So, tl;dr:

• We're making the soap as we speak and will be shipping orders that are JUST soap as soon as we can.

• We're waiting on the microbial tests for one of the materials in the aftershave base and expect to begin shipping orders that contain both aftershave and soap in about three weeks.

You've all been waiting VERY patiently and it's very much appreciated. Happy to answer questions, if anyone has any. :)
