Bob, maybe an ingredient that you are sensitive to has diminished over time
These 2 pucks had been hanging around for at least few years in the Pyrex bowls I had placed them before I grated them. I tried one a few days before I grated them and got the lather and slight burning sensation that I had previously experienced. I can think of no logical reason for the change unless by grating them I released the evil spirits they may have been harbouring. Whatever happened I am happy not to have to throw out 2 pucks of little used soap.
