How long do soaps keep?

[loopyloop]

Hi!
Can anyone tell me how long one could keep a soap before using? Say I buy 3 proraso tubs, would they still perform the same 1-2 years from now?

Many many many years, the scent may go at one point but the soap should be ok.

Many of us use vintage soaps which can be several decades old.

As above! freezing them will help if you want to go OTT, but storing them in airtight containers and in the dry will all be just as good.
