Funnily enough Zea Mays (Corn Oil) is also found in the current crap C&S formulations (believed to be a post-sale Valobra - post-2021) ... and also the older ("good") Art of Shaving formulations (shared with C&S and Valobra?) in both their original tallowate-first (pre-2013?) and palmate-first (c.2013?) formulations. Beyond that, it's not an ingredient that I encounter much when perusing ingredient lists.Zea Mays?
... couple of weeks on and the website is still down.
I have to agree with everything you said because until I joined this forum, I would have no idea what lather should be like etc.I've pondered upon this @Gairdner and come to the idea that for the likes of these mass-produced soaps it's simply down to the money and/or supply. I think the decision comes down to the need to produce another multiple-million number of units and find a supplier who can accomodate - if the formulation is different then so be it; and that's how reformulations come about for the likes of Culmak or Vulfix or such like.
When it comes to the posh names like the three T's or Floris, well, it's a luxury product and quite likely that real wet shavers account for only a small percentile of their customer base (or potential customer base) so again, the actual quality of the product matters somewhat less than the profit they can make from hawking a cheaper product (even if it doesn't "work") because 9 out of 10 purchases will likely be made by someone who has no idea that foamy lather is not "lather" ... that, and it's probably a flash in the pan idea or a gift from someone and they'll drop the notion of wet-shaving after having had a go or two.
