I apologise if that's how my post came across: I don't presume to be in a position to lecture anyone.
Honestly, no need to appologize, I think I might have looked a little harder on you in text then I meant to be. It's just that at many of us spent good money on a product that isn't what it used to be and that's frustrating. Other than MdC its my most expensive soap and I was really looking forward to a great soap that I knew had a great reputation and in the end I couldn't even lather it was well as my cheap Williams.
I am happy that you got one that is usable.
No worries! Yeah, that is disappointing, espeically given the company's reputation and heritage. Alas, what is there to say, but life is too short for poor soaps!
+1 There are a lot of great soaps and the list of them keeps growing. It's a great time for soaps and creams.
I got BURNED when I bought a puck of Trumper Rose a couple of years back. It was the worst soap I have ever bought. Thin, runny lather no matter how much I experimented.
I got a fine puck's worth of lathers from Trumper's Rose. It took considerable effort to get a workable lather from Limes. It was slick and smelled great, but it lacked cushion.
If you can pick up the soap from a "bricks 'n mortar" store, then you can check the date code to avoid the old stock when they had trouble.
My two pucks have worked perfectly (2011 and 2012 batches).
