    Thankfully I don't have soap RAD. I'm satisfied with my total of 7 and use the soap until it's gone. However I may break rank and order some Route 66 Twisted Tweed - a new addition.

    It's brand new. Used it about four times. I like it so far!

    Hmmm... I have and use some soaps that are 40-50 years old. Most of my near 40 soaps are 5-6 years old. Never had one go rotten. And they all get used in rotation.

    Yes, you are right. There are many soaps you can use for a very, very long time.
    But I've also heard of natural (handmade?) soaps, that can smell ugly after 2 or 3 years. And others lost their smell :(
    The oils and other ingredients react with the air, the water, the different temperatures, ... Maybe nothing happens, but you canot be sure

    A few months ago I've thrown away old body-soaps that smelled like nothing. They were more than 15 years old. You could use it, it has cleaned my body, but it was no fun for me in the shower.
