Don't buy it by the bar if you'd rather it sat in a warehouse first.
There's something to be said for soap that's been on a shelf since two summers ago.
Cases are made to order, not pulled from a stockpile. You're buying soap made for your order, not aged in a warehouse.
Mass-market soap is made by the truckload, wrapped, and parked in a warehouse to wait, sometimes for a very long time, until someone finally buys it. If you like that, the well-traveled, long-rested bar, the supermarket has you covered.
Buy the case here and it’s made to order instead. We make it for the order, then it ships. It takes a little longer than grabbing one off a shelf, because nobody made yours yet. That’s the trade: a short wait, for soap that wasn’t aging in a warehouse since the year before last.
Inconvenient, if you were hoping for something with some shelf-miles on it.
