Nice. Congrats. Is it an upwards move for you?

It’s a position I’ve previously held but it’s the highest wage I’ve ever earned so that’s good.

I still have plenty of this test sample left, hoping to maybe finish it off before the end of the year.

Great lather, excellent performance. I really like this soap and will probably pick up a tub of the final recipe when more is available.
