QCS Rose Otto is a dream. My SWMBO loves it too. Congratulations on the new arrival. I hope everything went well and he/she is healthy and Mom is resting comfortably. God bless them both.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Phreek!
Ooh. One of my favorites! Enjoy it!
The Nomad is Nomore. It lasted for 79 shaves. It's still one of my favorites and I'm glad I bought a couple extra pucks when I heard about the reformulation. The other pucks should easily last over 100 uses if I don't grate them. The one I just finished was grated twice to fit into different bowls.
Up next is the small tin of PPF Cucumber that I started earlier this summer. I hope I can finish it before the weather gets too cool for cucumber. If it cools off before the PPF is gone, I'll pause it and finish next spring.
7/19/14-9/18/14 Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad soap (27 previous uses, 79 total)
9/19/14-________ 3" tin Petal Pusher Fancies Cucumber (13 previous uses)

Maybe he only posts to keep track of his own journey, and not really for the group discussion aspect?
Just a thought.
I think he was just joking...or at least I hope he was.
About two weeks left on my VITOS, then it's on to RR MUDDER FOCKER

Good point, my bad.
No worries.
PS....Everyone who loves Italian Croaps, should track down some Vitos Super Extra Coconut and give it a try

Of course I was joking. I was going to add j/k, but I thought it was obvious. No worries redrider, humor can be easily misread on the web.
Thought I was making progress on my Razorock KOTC hard lime...nope. I had some of it in a tiny col conk wood bowl and recently bought a Razorock wood bowl to transfer it to so I could put the whole puck in the bowl. Found out that the razorock bowl would be filled to the brim. A lot of shaves left in this puck.

decided to pull on Superman's cape today, did ya?
The tube of Grafton is almost finished.
What a difference a brush makes! Today was the first time I used my badger with PPF. It was good before, but now it's definitely on my "must replace" list. My boar and synthetic are going to get bored.
I can see a spot at the bottom of the tin containing the AOS tallow Lemon. I'm still several shaves short of 2 months. I think I'll get 2.5 months at this rate, and I don't consider myself a heavy loader. I'm a little surprised, and I want this one to last longer! Glad I have a few pucks in reserve and will be glad to get back to it later.
Still working on the Mikes Barber Shop. I may be able to finish this off before SCS punkin starts Oct 1, but I doubt it. Been using the SOC boar but Mikes is holding strong.
On a side note, todays shave was a bit of a surprise. Some years ago I had tried a pack of Treet carbon steel "Black Beauty" blades but they seemed rough to me so I never used them again. I believe I was using a Merkur or EJ 3 piece razor at that time. Recently someone on B&B mentioned that those carbon steel Treets matched very well with Gillette TTO's. I needed to order some Volabra anyway so I threw in a pack of Black Beauties just for the heck of it. Today I dialed my '66 Slim back to 5 (normally I use 8) and dropped the Treet blade in. Used the SOC to face lather some Mikes and surprise surpise...one of the smoothest closest shaves I've had from my old Slim. It was just 1 shave so I am going to stick with the Slim / Treet pair for a while as I continue using Mikes the next couple weeks. I guess old dogs can learn new tricks...or in this case Treets.

Haven't seen any pics of puck progress on this thread in awhile. I'm early on in my quest to conquer a puck of Mike's so not much to see here but will post once some real progress is evident. Anyone else closing in on completing a puck and can show us?
Here is my 100g of Vitos with a few shaves left in it.
It's going faster now as it's quite soft at this point.

Here's my tin of Mike's Vetiver 49 shaves in. Maybe 7-10 shaves left I would say.
