What's new

My Guess... 3017

Went through a full tub of RazoRock fine American Blend. Lasted longer than I thought. Now going through RazoRock fresco which is going very very fast. After I have some HTGAM but I am scared how long an 8 ounce puck will last.

I'm with you on that. HTGAM Meta-nectar is after RazoRoctober and a trip, and I'm wondering how long it'll last.
 
Can't wait to follow you guys on the 8oz HTGAM journey. I have a tin of Cavendish that's in the queue and I've wondered how long that'll go. Maybe that and my jar of MdC will be a full year? Especially since I just moved into a place with a water softener.
 
Well, I was planning on using my tin of B&M Hallows, but since Florida doesn't seem to know what fall is, that will have to wait, as it's still too warm for that. In the meantime, I will try to finish up a tub of Razorock Mudder Focker. I've used it about 3 times so there are still plenty of shaves left. The journey continues...

7 October 2014 - ??: Razorock Mudder Focker
 
My goal is to kill my tub of Razorock Captain's Choice Bay Rum during October. It seems to be going rather quickly, which is putting a smile on my face. After that, I can either go to RR KOTC Lime or to Cella (I'm leaning towards Cella since I want to kill some tubs). After those three comes the Fat.
 
Seriously!? Funny how much of a difference water, brush, and loading technique makes. I can get thru MWF in a few months but I swear MdC lasts 5 or 6 months. Tho' it may be phsycological on my part because of the cost of MdC. Maybe I load it lighter without realizing it.
I scrolled back to verify. MdC did not last as long, but it was very close. Tabac lasted four months and MdC a week short of 4 months. The MWF was partially used before I started keeping track of shaves, but I think it was close to 4 months. That's a year of great shaves!

As I looked back to the first couple posts I made here, I see that I accepted some pretty lousy lather early on!

Here's one! It was one of the Frankensoaps I made to get rid of a couple partial pucks. Watery, eh?

My only 3 month soap was PdP.

It was 3 months of awesome shaves and I hope to be able to do it again soon. Still a few more to get through before I hit the backup puck, but it will happen.

MdC, MWF, Tabac...yes, I should say a year of great shaves indeed!!
 
Razorock Freedburg finished this morning. Great soap and I can't believe how long it lasted. Up next is either a puck of Cade or one of the Argan RazoRock soaps, XX or SOZ.

Jeff, how often to do you shave? 3 months of daily shaving from a tub of Freedberg is a long time...That's MWF territory for some people ;)

I shave daily three passes and missed maybe 4 or 5 days over the three months. The water where I live is soft and I'm sure that's a factor. In the 3017 spirit there has been severe overloading. The tub could easily have lasted another month or two with conservative yet perfectly adequate loads. A red Cella tub went five months for me as did a puck of DRH Arlington. As always YMMV.

If I load it normal, I could see Razorock lasting 3 months with daily shaving.

Using my current method of overloading the brush leads to wasted lather, but the puck is going at about a 1 month rate.
 
Yeah my Don Marco last 49 shaves in 50 days skipping 3 days and 2 of those shaves were test. I think 3 months is a long time for a 4.2oz soap.

My Freedburg only weighs 3.7oz new.
 
The PannaToja is gone. The reason I mixed them is because I'd grown tired of the Namaste scent and wanted something to mix in to tone down the scent. I ended up with a mixed soap that performed better than either one by itself. I'll do it again sometime with my remaining 50g of PannaCrema and a new La Toja stick.
Next up: Sample Fest 2014, starting with a sampler of all six Musgo Real scents. The original scent has been used once and the others are unused.

7/19/14-9/18/14 Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad soap (27 previous uses, 79 total)
9/19/14-9/30/14* 3" tin Petal Pusher Fancies Cucumber (13 previous uses, *paused to be finished next spring)
10/1/14-10/8/14 La Toja stick/PannaCrema Namaste mix
10/9/14-________ Musgo Real cream sampler

Still slowly but surely diminishing the Speick stick. Excited about getting into my QCS samples... then one of my Sandalwoods for the Fall/Winter.
 
I'm wondering if my Speick would be disappearing faster if I hadn't sliced it into a tin. My beard picks up a lot of soap from a stick. I thought I only had a few weeks in a partial stick, but it looks like it'll last longer.
