I blind bought this soap a few weeks, maybe a month back as I'm a fan of aquatic scents.... honestly really REALLY love the scent off the puck and the AS is solid too in my book, great scent....
The first 3-4x is using it was enjoyable, produced a solid enough lather, smells great, performs well overall providing fairly satisfying shaves..... at the mid point of the container the color and texture of puck change completely from fairly soft to a much much harder consistency also seems the perfume/scent ingredients kinda settled in the lower half.... scooped to a bowl and latherd the soap in the lower half of the container provides a much more mediocre lather but stronger scent, kind of irritated my skin which is definitely not sensitive.
I asked the maker about the separation and they kinda just said that they pour at high heat and recommend tub loading the product, didn't address weather separation was normal....
So, here's where I'm lost.
I cannot see how tub loading from the top will improve the lower half of this tub, I'd assume after I've used the top half I'll have the same issue with lather quality and scent strength...no?
I'm normally not one to complain but it seems like I paid sticker price for a full tub of soap but got half tub of pretty good soap and a half tub of something else.
Thoughts? Opinions?
