I have a full tub myself, but this will make somebody very happy. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Sorry to hear that.
Egh128, I'll take the p160 of available.
I also cheated today with some TOBS sandalwood. Looking forward to using this full time.

PM your shipping information and it'll be on its way to you today.
Making a test lather and applying it to the inside of your arm is a good way to see if you react to a product before slathering it on your face.
Awesome PIFs Bruce and egh128. Congrats to Sal and Jarick!
I finished my RR Nonno Michelino sandalwood this morning. 21 shaves on 65 grams of product for 3.1g / shave. It is a good performer but doesn't make it into the top tier ranking. It could be a little slicker with more protection, and the scent is rather mild. This was one of the first soaps that I acquired, so another 3017 success!
Moving on to RR Fresco that is about 18 months old, and using it up. Pretty much a full tub.

I have been very inconstant with the Palmolive stick. At this point It should be gone soon, but don't know if I will replace. I have a couple of Andys Mint shaves coming up, mixed in with my next 3017 attempt (and RazoRock XXX on Christmas eve/Christmas)
Thanks! I will give it the 3017 treatment. Luckily for me the only thing I am sensitive to is bay rum....and well i guess crappy scratchy brushes.
Awesome PIF Bruce. Congrats inspiringK.
About 2/3-3/4 through my puck of RR KOTC Lime. I think once done it will equate to approximately 2-2.5 months of daily shaving for me.
As a side note, test lathered up a my puck of B&M Dickens. Dear Lordy I love that scent. Perfect blend of evergreen and cherry. I know that the evergreen is not an actual scent note, but they somehow all combine to evoke a cherry evergreen for me.

Isn't it described as a holiday cookie? Not sure I would grab an evergreen smelling cookie at a holiday party... Very interesting.
redrider, I see you are located near Fergus Falls. My primary residence now is St. Paul but I have a cabin near OtterTail and lived up there for many years. You Sir live in Gods Country.
Fergus Falls, St Paul, Bloomington, Apple Valley, St Cloud....we've been to all those places traveling and mountain biking.
Living in Winnipeg, trips to Minneapolis for fun or Baseball games were regular occurences before the kids came along. Lebanon Hills campground is where we uses to camp when MTBing.
We still get down the odd time, bit not as often as I'd like.
Winnipeg is a great town! I played hockey as a kid and made the road trip to W for many tournements. I was at a Wild game a month or so back when they played the Jets in St Paul. Half the Xcel Energy center was filled with fans from Winnipeg. 'The Liffey' is an Irish Pub across the street from the stadium. Swung in there after the game and had some Guiness with a crew from Winnipeg. We had a lot of fun.
My son and I mtn bike Lebanon Hills Park a few times each Summer. Many excellent trails, in fact I broke my ankle there a couple years ago.

Thanks, and I agree it's beautiful up here. I probably don't appreciate it as much as I should.
Funny, seeing your location as "Great White North" I always thought you were up in Canada too. I don't really think of MN as great white, more green. Though the last few years it's been awfully white for a long portion of the year.
I used to live in Fargo, ND. It's amazing what 45 minutes down the interstate can do for scenery. Not to say I didn't like Fargo, but everything is flat and straight. Just a little boring.
How was this soap for you? Gets quite a few negative reviews...
My travel size AOS sandalwood cream ran out this morning. Tomorrow I'll start on a tube of Proraso red that's about 80% full.
