I'm not sure where to post this as it relates to both soaps and creams, so I'll put it here since I'm most interested in soaps.
I live far, far away from a reasonably priced source of shaving supplies, so I order once a year. I'm wondering if I could maybe stretch that to two years. (And, keep in mind that all of these options are being countered with just sticking with The Body Shop's Maca Root shaving cream which is widely available here at a decent price.)
Are there any soaps and creams that can reasonably last two years (assuming, of course, they aren't already a year old when I order them)? I'm mostly thinking about Mitchell's Wool Fat and Proraso shaving cream (for when I travel). I've heard MWF can dry out, but it would be my regular soap. I'm more worried about how to store the unopened ones. What are some good storage options? An air-tight plastic container, perhaps?
I'm open to suggestions for other brands as well, but they have to be from the major manufacturers as they're the ones available from online vendors. (I suppose the cream is less of an issue because I can just keep on using The Body Shop's Maca Root.)
Or, should I just ditch the idea of MWF and use Proraso for home and travel? (MWF appeals to me because the cost per shave is dirt cheap.)
