Let us know how this stuff is! I keep looking at it.Mail call today and this soap smells heaps better than Batters Up, thank bloody goodness.
Yep keeps in the goodness. No point hoarding... I mean putting some aside if you don'y shrink wrap or vacuum seal it.

You know I've got 23 tubs of Noble Otter in my den, which is going to be very difficult to sell this whole collection, because, the quality of this soap base is very very GOOD! just about two steps below Ariana & Evans, The Club (A&E), and Wholly Kaw.

The Noble Otter tubs possibly have about the best artwork in the shaving world. Almost worth keeping them just for that.

And assuming you live to the age of 90, it's easily doable to use up all those in 39 years, but you're making it hard for yourself with all the refill pucks...
You can't take it with you, you know. As the saying goes, shrouds don't have pockets.

I agree with this, Noble Otter needs to step up with the scented profile a bit better and not end up like Batters Up, which is probably the most worst baseball glove stink ever.

That’s where all the triple milled tallows secret weapon comes in, when I sell them one day when the time is right. Keep in mind triple milled tallow won’t be around forever, as the business marketing soap base product is changing.And assuming you live to the age of 90, it's easily doable to use up all those in 39 years, but you're making it hard for yourself with all the refill pucks...

The new DG milksteak base is kinda BS, besides all the other DG soap base I have before the new one came out are all Bison tallow base.

It really doesn't matter whether your tallow is extracted from cows, chupacapras or yetis, by the time you've boiled it up with NaOH or KOH, you'll be left with pretty much the same bitty fatty residues. You're not doing your credibility any favours with this rubbish.
Incidentally, though I hold DG's bases in high regard, I haven't yet found one with a scent that I would want to keep. But never say never...
