In some cases the soap will even retain is scent after all those years.

I recently picked up some Old Spice shaving soap that I think was discontinued back in 1992 -- it produced lots of thick lather and smelled great.
Which reminds me -- has anyone done a review of Old Spice shaving soap?

Some gents here have lathered soap 30 yrs old, sans aucun problème 
My Imperial Leather shave soap must be 30 yrs old at least- works just fine, though the scent is a little weak.
I am 98.7462 % sure that they do not...in terms of efficacy (and assuming they haven't been exposed to harsh conditions). I have heard that some soaps lose their scnet after a while...but that's just what I've heard.
I lathered up a cake of pashana soap that was at minimum 30 years old. The scent was almost 100% gone, but it lathered up just fine. I ended up grating it and mixing it with 3/1 with a really fragrant bath bar. I still keep it in my rotation. So, to answer the question, 30+ years.
They start to sweat, IME...
What do you mean by sweat?
A good soap will probably be usable long after the shelf it's on falls down.
There probably won't be much scent left though.
There probably won't be much scent left though.I mean glycerin soap will start to form wet drops on its surface if you keep it in a sealed tub. Just like sweat on my forehead after a run...
