If anyone has recently ordered Spice Vitae directly from the Wholly Kaw web site, please be aware that shipment has been delayed awaiting the soap to cure to the peak of perfection.

I placed an order for two Bufala base soaps on Jan 20. Normally, Sri ships products within 1-3 days of receiving an order and I will receive it 3-4 days later. After 10 days, I had not received a shipping notice, so I wondered what had happened with my order.

I contacted Sri. He got back to me that evening indicating that the latest batch of Spice Vitae is still curing. Apparently, the Bufala base cures more slowly than the donkey milk soaps. Like great wine, you do not want it to be released before its time.

So, if you have placed an order directly with Sri in the last couple of weeks, you will get your soap. Just do not get too anxious; you cannot rush perfection. The new Bufala base is worth waiting.
