2024 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Year of MacGyver

[ChriWilson]

My two soaps from Mike's came in metal cans with push-on rather than screw-on lids. Do you know whether plastic tubs are the older or newer containers?

Newer - Mine were ordered directly from Mike’s.

Was thinking of moving my remainder into a jar of MdC Agrumes, of which less than 1/4 is left. Heaven knows how long that will take to 3017 first

1 pass today because I was in a hurry. Still, a great shave. Blade is performing well.

Well from the looks of it you are half way through your tub? I think I am too at the moment and by my recent calculations that second half will see me go to August. Excellent longevity compared to other soaps I have used so far. I’m using his Barbershop - very nice scent!

Enjoy!

Going off comparison to a new tub - I've used 30g from this tub; so right at 30 shaves (25 this month)

Good one! I am at 0.6-0.7 grams per shave at the moment.

Apologies to the brotherhood for checking in late. Still in and loving it. Zero purchases, yet making a nice dent in an over supply of goods. Falling in love with Arko! again.

Thanks @RAD patient for the gentlemanly nudge.
