Since joining B&B, have you finished a single cream or soap?

**peacefrog** · 01-12-2007, 06:53 AM

I haven't even come close. I could probably shave for five years with all the stuff I've collected. I know I'm not alone. Have any of you used up a full container of anything since you joined B&B?

You're kidding, right?

Well, not sure if this counts, but I did finish a travel tube of AOS Lavender while traveling not too long ago. As for my day-to-day creams, no, not even close.

I once finished a sample of T&H 1805... does that count?

Wait... You mean it is possible to empty a bowl of shave soap/cream? When did this happen?! Last I checked I hadn't even made a dent in any of my creams/soaps! I assumed they regenerated themselves!

I finished a tub of nancy boy, but that's about it. I've been using mama bear soaps exclusively ever since she sent me my secret santa (which was also my first foray into soaps).

I have six... correction, seven scents now. I've actually gone through the order page to see how many there are and tried to figure out how much it would cost me to get one of each.

I have been wetshaving for about three months now and I am about three shaves away from finishing my first tub of Taylor's Sandalwood - which is my "go to" cream when I want to be assured of a great shave. Not even close to finishing any of the other creams and soaps.

However, that won't stop me from trying out the new Derby creams, getting a few more varieties of Taylors when I order a new tub of sandalwood and ordering a bunch of Mama Bear soaps when she starts shipping again after her move.

Amazingly enough, I did finish a bowl of Tabac soap. That stuff is great.

That being said, I haven't even come close to finishing any other soap or cream.

I may never run out

I'm nearing the end of a tube or T&H Trafalgar cream which is the first cream that I bought. It isn't finished yet and now sits in my travel wash-bag so it might last a few years yet.

Wow! How long did that take!?

I am very close to finish my 1st tube of Proraso. Other than that, free samples are the only ones that have been used up so far.
Before using a DE razor, I had used up some cakes of Surrey's glycerin shave soap years ago using a Gillette Sensor razor.

I seem to go through aftershave much quicker than my creams. Even my tubes have a ways to go. I think many of us have surpassed the escape velocity whereby our acquisition of new creams and soaps is proceeding quicker than the time required to use them up. Not that this is a bad thing, of course.

Hello

I have recently finished my first tube of Erasmic. The Trumpers limes soap and a few others fell by the wayside while I settled on that one.

Moved onto the Trumpers Almond Soap now.

Obviously you are not buying enough

To date I haven't finished anything. I am inclined to throw out unfinished stuff about 3/4 way through.I am afraid that I have too many untried oneswaiting their turn on the shelf!

Not buying enough is my problem. Or is it? I have been checking myself when it comes to buying creams and soaps, so I am finishing them. I'm about to use up the last of Col Conks Lime that is in the mug, to be followed by the Amber. With discipline, it is possible to make the soaps and creams disappear.
