Ya it is probably the most insane 3017 challenge out there, hands down. Who has what it takes to 3017 the biggest amount of an already super concentrated soap?
Who wants to 3017 an MdC brain bowl?

I tried and didn't even come close to getting the soap below the bowl's brim. That was roughly 35 shaves - twice a week from Nov to April.

I would LOVE to! But I can't afford a brain bowl... 
Love my brain bowl but love variety more.

By the way, since there is no lid do the brain bowls lose their scent quite a bit? Because I love the MdC original scent and if I eventually get a bowl I don't want the scent to fade.
See ya next year! 
No one can do that.

I am thinking it is the impossible 3017... I dunno if I can commit to that.
If I had MdC (and liked it): I'd be in.
Challenge accepted, go ahead and send it to me and I'll 3017 it.
MdC does not lose it's scent. In fact, it is recommended (by MdC) that when you start to use it, you leave the lid off. The lid is just used for travel. MdC loves to breath.

Ask me about shaving naked!
I'm under the impression there's more variation with batches than anything else, and over the past year and a half or so, the scents have gotten fainter. My brain bowl is much fainter than last year's glass jar, but it's also a slightly different scent.
But the short answer is probably yes if you don't use it frequently. If you do, you're always uncovering new soap.
And I'm with Joe, I like it and use it, but I also like variety.

Are you buying?
+1 if someone supplies the brainbowl im in.
I thought that recommendation was meant to increase the mileage of the jar by allowing the soap to fully dry.
I would but I have a birck of Cella to 3017 later this winter.
Hahaha no thanks I heard that MdC is like Dr Selby, takes forever to wear it down since it is so concentrated. I am sure that would literally take 2 years of daily shaving.
The bowls are 175g right? Two years is possible, but I expect most people would get closer to one year out of it. A couple guys measured their usage in a thread awhile back, and I want to say it was around half a gram per.
A jar will last me a year but I usually use it 5 days a week and another soap twice a week so I will pass...nice challenge though and good luck to anyone that attempts to 3017 the bowl!
Sounds about right. I would guess 0.3-0.5 g/shave
