wait time between smoking and slicing?

    Hello all.

Long time lurker here, I finally found the time to do my first ever smoked bacon. I followed Pops brine method on 7 pounds of pork belly.

Let it cure for ~15 days. Then rest in the fridge for ~4 days. 16 hours of apple pellet smoke on Saturday - Sunday and I'm very pleased with the results.

My quandary is this, the delivery of my my newly purchased meat slicer got delayed and wont show up until next Monday, 8 days after the smoking.

Now I'm willing to slice it all by hand, but would really like to wait and use my new meat slicing  toy.

Am I ok just letting it sit in the refrigerator, should I vacuum seal it and freeze or just break down and slice it by hand?

What would all you seasoned smoking veterans do?

Thanks
