Greetings shaving oracles!
I was surprised the other day when my Proraso tube worked it's way back into the rotation and I found that much of the cream has become dry :-( We'd been out of town for three weeks, and while we were away the air conditioner broke. We live in Phoenix, AZ and the weather was extremely hot while we were gone. Hard telling how hot it got in the bathroom, but certainly north of 115 I would imagine, but none of the other soaps seem to have suffered.
The tube was well sealed, with the screw top tightly secured. The cream is now tending towards the consistency of the tub and is difficult to squeeze out of the tube, especially when my hands are slippery with water and pre-shave or soap. I fully expected that once I pushed out the driest cream in the nozzle, that what was behind would be fine, but it's not. It seems to have changed consistency consistently ;-> The tube is probably a total of 4 months old and about half used up. What I can extract rehydrates when I lather so it's still effective, just durn near impossible to get out of the tube!
I thought I'd ask whether anyone had ever had this happen, and whether there was any salvage possible. I think I'll just cut the end off of the tube and put it in a glass jar with a lid to use up the balance.
Small problem I know, but rather perplexing. I don't know what made it go bad! Advice or thought are welcome!
