It is bought in June 2019.

I seem to largely use sticks and the ones I have don't really have covers, so the issue of covering them doesn't really apply! And my soaps that do have lids, have been repurposed to hold samples so they aren't covered either!Keep the next one in the refrigerator?
I like simple soaps that have been around for awhile, hard pucks or sticks, never had one go bad.
I wouldn't put that on my face.I decided to try scraping the top of the soap off just to see if it was only that top layer affected and, yikes, there’s nastiness through the entire puck as you’ll see. So yep that’s going in the bin!

Now there’s an ideaKeep the next one in the refrigerator?

Sorry I missed your reply. TobyC has sorted you out with it I see...Where’s that post bud? Interested in reading it! This has definitely made me question drying and maybe even not wetting the actual puck anymore.
I have a handmade crock/bowl with a non-airtight lid that I keep my soap in. I usually put a puck in there, but sometimes press a stick in it and use it like a puck. I lather on top of the soap and just cover and put away when I'm done. That's the old school minimalist way of doing things, no extra lather bowl, and no waste of soap.I seem to largely use sticks and the ones I have don't really have covers, so the issue of covering them doesn't really apply!

Good to hear the situation has been resolved for the OP.
Yeah I keep them all outside of the bathroom. Bring them in for the shave, use them and then leave them to dry in the bathroom without the lid on and then put them away.Where do you store your soaps? Outside of the bathroom?
It is not mould, but Peter let his kids mixing the soap. That's why the result was not that good.Just to update you all I’ve been speaking with Peter about it, who has been very cool with me and is sending a replacement etc. This was his explanation for the discolouration:
“I’m gonna take a look later. I think I know what the issue is. We had only one mixer and sometimes need to mix by hand when adding oils to make the scent. If it’s done by hand, you have to make sure the soap is not cooling down and work quickly, otherwise, it’ll start to clump and oils for the scent won’t penetrate those little bits. Asian Plum starts to get darker, but if little bits started to harden before then there will be variations and you’ll perhaps see bits which are lighter. I’m certain that’s what it is. Our business has grown so much, I had to buy an additional mixer. At certain points I have the family helping with the mixing. Regardless, I’ll send another one. BTW, if you were to remelt , it would all blend nicely.”
It makes sense as it doesn’t seem like mould. It’s consistent through the entire puck. To be honest, it also seems like the superfatted stuff has settled in there.
