My Guess... 3017

Speick is nearly done. Maybe three or four shaves left, but after tomorrow's shave I will be moving on to RR. The remains of the stick will form the base of my first odds n ends frankensoap.

Stick lasted approximately 30-35 shaves.
Using enough gives a great lather, slick and protecting, neutral drying/moisturizing, mild inoffensive (but ultimately boring) scent.
Recommend the stick to everyone, just not sure if I will buy again (same bucket as La Toja)
 
I am continuing to work my way through a partially used tube of C.O. Bigelow - I would imagine that I have a week or two left since I am averaging 1.5g - 2.0g product per shave. I will then jump into RazoRocktober with an unused white tub of XXXt.
 
The thermostat at the Heron nest has been switched from A/C to heat, so I'll finish out Single in September with my PPF Cucumber, then save the rest for spring. Tomorrow I'll start the La Toja/PC Namaste mix.

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-________ La Toja stick/PannaCrema Namaste mix

I didn't have any Speick, so I've spent the past few weeks finishing off the tub of Proraso soap, followed up with what's left of a stick of Blueness soap. It should be gone in a couple of weeks, then I've got this nice do-it-yourself "Brain Bowl" of MdC to start using up. This 3017 project might take a while!

That's a lot of MdC.
 
My i coloniali has expired after about 2 months of semi-regular shaving. No weight estimates, no shave totals...just two months of wonderful shaves from a soap that I will be replacing.

I will be knocking out a small portion of Tabac and then some some of my creams over the next few months.

Here's my setup for the next few months.

Been waiting to try this one. Even though the scent of Don Marco is so intoxicating I couldn't resist the lavender and the ingredients list. Shave number 1 this morning was pretty nice. Will see if I can dial in some more slickness.

I may actually take a break to grow a beard when our third child is born in a couple weeks. Something I've always wanted to do. Of course I'll still have to keep my neck and cheeks cleaned up but this soap may last a long time.

I got moves like Jagger
Two days in on the remants of a tube of Rose of Bulgaria. It's actually almost a croap now, so I don't need to go to the gym as I am getting my workout squeezing it from the tube.

The scent immediately reminded me of why I fell in love with this during a test lather a few years ago. It actually puts the Klar Kabinett I just finished to shame in that regard. Say WHAT???????

Latherwise, even thoug hit is abviously an old tube (semi-croap now), it lathers like a champ! As easy as Arko! Hmmmm, maybe I should douse my Arko with Rose of Bugaria AS?
