    Default Mama Bear Soap Life Expectancy?

    How long does your Tub of Mama Bears usually last you? I've just received my first order of Mama Bear's, (Dragon's Blood) and now I'm hooked!
    I'm going to order more soaps, I just want to know how much to order, a few may last a loooooong time, or I'll get a bunch to make sure I'm good to go.

    I may never know! The (nice) problem with MB soaps, is I tried a handful, got pushed over the edge and ended up filling up a small chest with them so I could try out a ton of scents. Upside... lots of fun trying the smells. However, that's a looooooong rotation, so I might know for awhile how long any of them go.

    I do know the level seems to only barely go down after each use, so I suspect quite awhile.

    Forever.

    I'll actually have an answer for you at some point in the future, because I've been counting the shaves from the first MB tub I bought. I'm at 52 shaves so far and I'd say the soap is down about 1/4th at the most. I suspect it will last over 200 shaves.

    They last forever!
    Nevertheless, get a big bunch and enjoy!

    Mama Bear soaps are fairly soft. I've used up a few . . . I'd estimate four months.

    4 to 6 months at average use (ie: 2 or three times a week as part of a rotation). Of the three I have, they all seem to be at more or less the same level after about 4 months.

    All i know is i ordered 17 sample slivers and the only one i have worn out in a month (pretty much just use them to shave my head every 2-3 days) was the masculine musk scent and that is because i bathed with it twice after SWMBO latched onto my head and sniffed it for 5 minutes straight the first time i shaved with it. I have used my lavender sample 5ish times and my amber romance one at least 7 times but it was the biggest sample.
    I have a flare, a slim, and a Gem in my den waiting to be tried.

    Mt armoire is bursting at the seams with soaps and creams, so maybe I'll never know how long it'll take to go through any given tub of Mama's soaps.
    But I still keep buying more anyway
