I imagine with regular loading it would last 2.5-3 months. Until I have my soaps down to the rotation and keepers, I'm loading extra heavy to get rid of them.

Institut Karite gave up the ghost this morning. I had been pressing it into the bottom of my Old Spice mug for the last couple of weeks. As I wrote earlier, it is a much softer soap than the triple milleds, but I have not compared it with the Italian soft soaps. All told, I got about 6 weeks from it, loading heavily. Loading normally, I expect to get about 3 months from a cake. This soap is outstanding, and the best veggie soap I have used hands down. It will definitely be replaced. Of the soaps I have finished, the following will be in the rotation: MWF, IK, Harris Arlington, AoS Lavender.
I am going to work my way through a series of small soaps next, starting with Haslinger Marigold.

Only six weeks out of IK? That's surprising, I didn't realize it was that soft.
It surprised me too. I used it for a few test lathers of new brushes, but certainly not 6 weeks worth.
I have Haslinger Aloe Vera and love it. I'm curious to see what you think of the Marigold.

Johnniegold, just stumbled on this thread. So why are you holding back? Show us the rest! Lol.
Thought it'd be dead by now. Chunk of Lime musk showing through. MWF on deck (There are only a couple of weeks left in it.).
The lather this morning was excellent. It whipped up quickly and easily. I will have to play with the water ratios a bit, because it was actually too thick during the first pass. The scent was fairly subdued, but very pleasant.
I see you are really trying to conjure up some sympathy with that pathetic rotation.
On to my Wool Fat remains. I put the scraps of the last combo soap in the ceramic dish (Looks wrong, but the whole puck needs to be used!). After the Fat I'm thinking combining a piece of vintage Old Spice and 2/3 of a puck of vintage Williams. I think I go to a cream after that.

You are the hybrid master!

Lol. After the Old Spice and Williams I will have tied up some loose ends. Pure soaps from then on. And man was it good to get back to the Fat! This'll be gone before March.
Excellent job, FL shaver!
My Tabac puck is still going strong but increasingly concave.

Still going with the Trumper Sandalwood. This soap really does produce a very nice lather. I am still enjoying it. As far as time frame goes, this soap still has another month and a half or more and that's okay by me.
I'm still moving along nicely with my puck of Marlborough. Great lather, wonderful winter scent and a perfect soap for our current cold spell.
By the way, what's in your current "Murderer's Row"? I seem to recall the Eagle in Best and a 57, and you've since added a Rover.
Chugging along with a my puck of I Coloniali cream soap. It's going pretty well, but I've been lathering heavily and I'm breaking in two boars with it. Two lathers a night should make it go pretty quickly. I have noticed that it is nearly impossible to face lather it with a new boar.
