PAO period after opening soaps

How many soaps have PAO 3 years. In my shave den there are mwf and tabac? Arko soap has unknown PAO. Do somebody know why d r Harris have only 1 year PAO and it’s triple melted soap?
 
Local rules & regulations. I have soaps 20+ years old still going strong, a few newer "artisan" soaps have spoiled after a year or so.

Williams, Old Spice in my den are over 20 yo. Fun to break out a "new" 20+ yo puck and get great shaves.
+1, I have a lot vintage soaps, like Yardley's or Old Spice, Colgate and Trumper's - some are from the early 60's. These are all hard soaps, mainly based on tallow and saponified with sodium (i.e. makes them hard soaps), often also triple milled, which means there is not too much water left in it. The modern soaps often have a lot of other oils and fats, and some of them are not completely saponified, leaving some fats/oils in the soaps, so that it give you a good face feel after use, but is also the chance that these oils/fats may go rancid.
