Hahaha....yea, I'm not sure what to say about 2ish, it has the larger % of the goodies. Puzzling for sure, but this is the fun part of testing The one on the right also has goodies....but they're "nature-crafted" Calendula, and Plantain harvested by me.....

Acid rain? But seriously, that is odd. It’d kill me trying to figure it out. That’s some serious variance.

lol @ acid rain. 2ish has a store bought group of good for your skin additives, that I left out of 5.5. However.....the Aftershave is still sitting here, while I'm puzzling this out. I'm going to test Ph again in the morning, if it's still low, I'll add a buffer to it, to bring it up a tad. But this is the part of formulating that I love! Like a cool treasure hunt.

Good Morning, Gentlemen

OK, this is where we are. Tested again this morning, no change. It had also separated overnight, added an emulsifier, and then added Sodium Lactate for a buffer. Looks good, and the Ph is back up around 5.5.

I'm making a batch of my "Workhorse" Aftershave this afternoon. It's something I've been working on long before Non-Alcohol aftershaves became fashionable. Like all the way back in 2006....time is flying It's my baby so to speak. I do sell it to folks "special order only" right now. But if y'all don't mind to wait until tomorrow for me to ship out your testers, I'll include a bottle of the "Workhorse" for you.

I'm giving a speech this afternoon at the University and I'm working on my notes lol. 1.75 hours to show time!!!

What's the speech covering?

Long Answer

A few of us were selected to be a part of the committee for the Class of 2018, which gives us the opportunity to take what we have learned to recruit new potential leaders for our wonderful city! What I am asking you is for your help. The committee members have taken it upon themselves to organize each session, with the guidance of BRCCC I will be organizing the September 20 Small Business Entrepreneurship and as of right now the time will be from 1:30-4:30. This is where you come in… I would love for you to speak about your business and how you got to where you are. The location will be at The Hive.

Short Answer - I'll be talking about you each and every one of you

Wow, I'm intrigued and amazed by your passion and energy for your craft. I've made some home-made after-shaves with varying degrees of success, but you clearly know your business.

I now can't wait to get my samples, and will do my best to give honest, helpful feedback on any criteria and in any format you wish. Dave and I look forward to being your guinea pigs! Aaron

I appreciate you so much! I can't do my business without you. I have boyfriend, but God love his heart....he's grown and only shaves once a week if he feels pressed about it lol. And we talked about the Aftershave/s the other night, cuz I have more than one .. and he said...I can't make my beard grow any faster.

So with your help and the others, we'll get it figured out quick

I'm excited too! Testing is WAY FUN !

Sent my Dad halves of those samples you sent me a while back. Asked if he liked any of them in particular and he just said they all smelled good to him lol.
