I have like 2 shaves left with RR Don Marco. I'll report the status when I'm finished
One shave down with Mystic Water Lilac. The lather was good, it did start breaking down during the shave but it was nothing a little face lathering couldn't fix. Tomorrow I'll work the lather a little longer in the bowl and see if that helps.
5 shaves on Mike's Rose and Cedarwood and my sample is done. It's a great soap and the scent is just fantastic. If you are a rose fan I recommend it, it's not a complex rose with a bunch of other scents added to help balance it out, it's just rose and I like it that way.

I hope you can fix that. It sounds like the issue I was having and even though I could easily relather those areas, it bothered me to have to do so.
As others have said, the post shave feel and quality of the shave you get from the lather is second to none.
Shawn, If it smells like real lilacs, I'd get some. What did you think?

+1. I am not a Rose fan but Mikes R&C is one of my top 5 favorite soaps. I have a new tin I am going to 3017 probably over the holidays.
Was this a relatively new puck? I still have a third puck under the sink. The first two were really pretty darn good, but these pucks were purchased over 5 years ago.3017'd a puck of GFT Coconut soap...THANK GOD THAT'S OVER!!! LOL

Restarted a 3017 attempt with what's left of my Arko...only about an inch remaining. It'll probably take me a week or two.
Arko and the Veg... and the first shave on an E type injector!! It was a wonderful morning.
Remember on the tv show, Lost, when the whole island shook and the sky turned purple?Don't cross the streams, Jessy!
I have one shave left on the QCS IKL. Probably enough to last Sam a week and a half, but it will be dead tonight.
As I finished up this morning, (and accidentally left the tap running in the bowl as I shaved), I was thinking that, plus I was reminded of times as a wee lad when scraping my dinner leftovers into the trash and being admonished by a parent "Och, you could feed a family with what you're throwing away..."LOL. Exactly the same thing this morning came to mind when I rinsed out the tub my Tiki Surf's Up! is in and noticed there was only a little strip left for about 120* of the bottom of the jar. As I thought, this weekend will kill it, the simultaneous thought that Sam would make to Labor Day came to me...
