After about a year, the last dregs of a pot of Proraso white simply stopped lathering easily, over about two weeks of shaves. I assume some "volatiles" had finally left the building. I opened the next pot bought at the same time and all is well - my technique, such as it is, is to swirl my damp/warm Yaqi brush around the pot three or four times then face lather (often get too much lather).
Anyway, I'm not complaining as I got to use over 95% or the soap. I use a shaving gel for 10% of my shaves so the pot lasted ages. I assume it's exposure to air each day while open that causes this as old sealed soaps work well?
