Now that you already bought one, SWMBO says that you can find them at Sally's or any beauty supply
Good to know it's very similar to Palmolive stick since I have one of those in my soap box as well. First shave was pretty darn good for a first. I seemed to get good cushion even though I don't think I had enough soap loaded. The outside feels quite dry so hopefully I can get a good feel for it and grate if I'm going to put it into extended use.
Someday I'll try a high-end badger but for now my budget doesn't support it and I'm very content with my boars.
PdP makes a tube key as well that quite a few of the usual vendors carry

Nothing for me during the last year and a half (or so), has come close (performance wise) to Haslinger. Except the soap I'm currently using. Wickham Club Cola is fantastic. I truly love everything about it, especially the post-shave feel. It could put me out of the sabbatical if I don't behave. I think it's now my favorite shaving product.
But I don't think anyone else here would care for it, so just leave it all for me, please. 😜

Or Crabtree and Evelyn...
That's where mine is from.
I bought some haslinger but haven't tried it yet. It's my most recent aquision so it's technically in line behind 30 or so other soaps. You are all making me think I need to find out what this soap is all about.
Making progress on my frankensoap (see nougat in sig), but still a long way to go.

Any idea on your average usage/shave yet, Sam?
Nope, I don't do the weigh thingie. It'll be done when it's done. Normally I get around 3 months from a standard 4oz puck, except for the D.R. Harris soap that I received from a [MENTION=36370]brucered[/MENTION] contest/PIF a few years ago (Man I feel old!). That puck lasted around 7 months.

[MENTION=34037]rockviper[/MENTION] not surprised about the DRH, that stuff lasts forever. Good on you to go the distance with it, though! My last 8oz Caties tub lasted around 2.5 months and that was long enough for me!
Your frankensoap looks very homgenous compared to the start. Are you down to just the Klar?
I had a brain fart at the start of the month.
Almost two months in on my 8-oz nougat soap (see sig for contents) and it's still going strong.
Last month, I made the mistake of adding a small bottle of shave-oil that I discovered in my "soap briefcase" to it and then had to run the soap through a potato ricer to get things evenly mixed. Yeah, I'm and idiot and should have left well enough alone.So now it's a homogeneous looking white soap rather than a glorious nougat cake.

Ah, yes. I remember that story. Second question for you, why didn't autocorrect flag my missing "o" in homogenous? Interesting since I deleted that character to test my spelling. Undid my deletion and the little red squiggly lines went away. It's a conspiracy.
Autocorrect didn't notice a letter was missing as "o"=nothing , ergo nothing was missing 
Proraso Green is done. Moving on to another favorite, Speick.

I've finally broken through to the bottom of the Cella tub! Decided to weigh the last bit and I have just under 10g left. No idea how long that will last, I'm hopeless at making predictions, but surely it can't be long now 🤔
Probably 6 shaves.
The sample I used was rehydrated, so that might have contributed to my conclusion that I used too much water?
Razorock Plissoft, "Bruce" handle. I will say no more.
Okay, I lied. Just get the synthetic already. I use it WAY more than my Savile Row silvertip.
