Spoiled soap?

I just received some RazoRock Firenze. It's 90 degrees here in Kansas City. Does this look damaged?





Hope not..it did mention on the website that heat could cause issues. I rolled the dice. Will give it a run tomorrow.

Would putting it in the fridge make any difference?

I put mine in the fridge as well and it didnt change much for me. I think you are fine. I am in SoCal and we get the hot temps, enough to soften this soap. Mine was similar looking to this so I wouldn't worry.

Not to me.

Probably not.  

If it is any comfort to you, below is how my now-finished puck of Mystic Water Bergamot, Cedarwood, & Juniper looked a few weeks ago after months of being used with the Bloom Water Lather technique; the puck is dry in this photo.  The surface looks a lot like the surface of your puck, does it not?

It does. Mine kind of looks like really granular honey. I'll give it a test lather.

Hope it's ok.. Looks pretty unhealthy IMO.  I received my Acqua Di Parma in 95* heat and looked perfect. I wonder what's in that soap to cause the granuals.

Mine looks like that and I got it three months ago when the highs was in the mid 50's here. So I thank your ok.

Chaddy,

Was it the same soap?

I've seen several photos on the forums of Firenze that look similar, and most people have said that it was fine. I have one jar that wasn't exposed to heat, and it is firmer, but not by a lot. I've heard that water left on the puck after lathering can also cause a problem. Its a nice soap, but just too fussy for my taste, and I only rarely have used it. It probably works better when a small amount is scooped out for bowl lathering, rather than trying to run a brush across a goopy mess.

I used mine yesterday and it looks the same. 
Very nice soap.

Ive got several samples of razorock and they all look like that. Especially the mudder focker. I think thats just the way their soaps are.

With the predicted nationwide heatwave both Firenze and our faces will look better using it. Mine is the same, wonderfull stuff.

I had some Dr. Jon's Artic Hydra in a bag in my trunk for a week in the Florida Keys in the summer while out on a boat. Came back and found the soap looked the same. I used it without any issues. Still performs great. I also had a tub of Mickey Lee's Kokamo in the same bag but it did not look any different.

I know when they ship yeast for beer brewing the companies offer an option (at an additional cost) of shipping with a cold pack in the summer to help prevent the heat from killing the yeast. If it is really hot in your location this might be an option.
