This soap is like brownie batter. It works great, but this is easily the softest Milksteak I've ever seen. Really digging this MiG, too.

Have you noticed that different scents are firmer/softer with milksteak, more so than other bases? I think I have, but it could also just be age of the soaps.

Now that you mention it, I'd say yes. At least a wider range of consistencies. This tub is one of the newer one with the batch number sticker. I left it open for a couple days and it didn't really make a notable difference. I just have to skip tub loading this one for now. Sad.
