[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 503826, member: 192"] All of them were used. But they were stored in cool and dry conditions (Colorado weather) in my basement. A few examples from the top of my head: Many of the soaps were fine, with little to no change. Many others were drier and showed some cracks, but were also fine. Some of the softer soaps hardened and shrank a bit. The most common change is for the soaps to become darker and loose their scent. I ended up with several different soaps that smell the same. They still perform well. There was a soap that not only lost its scent but also became granulated. It's like pimples appeared all over the soap. Most of the soaps did not smell bad after loosing their scent except Cella. It still performed well, but it smelled bad. Of all the soaps that went bad, only one lost its lathering abilities and became unusable as a shaving soap. The manufacturer doesn't seem to be in business anymore. On retrospect, I had one cream also change with time. It is an Indian cream, Biotique Palmyra. It became harder and slightly darker, but it kept its smell and still performs wonderfully. [/QUOTE]
