Did the soap react with the original tin from AYLM?

Yes, in both Ishtar and Marduk - and that’s why they changed most of their soaps to hard soap, with the rest going into glass containers (which are outrageously priced)

Oh damn, you weren’t kidding about outrageous prices!

RIP AYLM Thrill

To be fair, they increased also the tub size (from 150 to 200ml) - but they matched the 33% increase in size with a 50% increase in price.

As much as I want to like their Babylonian gate themed soaps (they released a new one, Urash, recently), between issues of evaporated scent, latherability and €€€, it’s become hard to be a AYLM fanboy

Thanks, I had no idea and this is good to know. I’m lucky then that my Don Josè is still fine. Maybe I should play it safe and switch to bowl lathering it to avoid feeding the reaction with moisture.

The hard soap is actually quite nice, I enjoy the Verbena Toscana one a lot.

I only bowl lathered, and still got the reaction (I thought it was stronger with Marduk, but maybe only because it is white, and it is more visible.
