Has anyone had problems with this soap going bad?
I ask because I bought this soap last year in refill puck form and after a couple uses I grated it into an Old Spice mug and have been using it that way ever since. It hadn't been used in about a month and upon opening the bag today it had a slight rancid smell to it and the scent has diminished in it.
Lately I have acquired a lot of soaps and creams that I have been trying so some of my soaps have been on the back burner for a while including this one, one of my favorites. Once used I let it dry out for at least 12 hours and seal it up in a quart sized freezer bag since I have no lid for the mug. I shave about 3 times per week(weekend, Tuesday and Thursday) and since I hadn't used it in a while I was going to get it back into my weekend shaves like in the past. This has really got me disappointed as it was my favorite soap/scent. With the amount of soaps I have this has me concerned about how many others are going to go bad before I use them up including 2 other SV soaps.
I did scrape a layer off the soap and I kind of got back to a layer of better scent in it but it is pretty week and I loved the strong scent while lathered and during the shave.
