B&B Confidential #1: Ready, Set, Finish

[Jim]

Hi Guys,

You may not agree that this is fully 'used' up but I'm 'scraping the bottom of the barrel now' (see pics below) and through to the wood bowl. I've been using this TOBS Lavender Soap in wood bowl for 13 months now - yes 13 months of luxurious shaves and the refill cost? around £5.00 or $9!

The bowl now has a nice 'used' look to it but hasn't cracked, warped or split, so I think it'll be handed down to my son when I finish with it - great quality.

I have the new block ready to go in and I'm off to Turkey for 2 weeks of sun so I'd say that the new block will be in the bowl by I return.

See you later, I have a flight to catch :-)

I think we need a ruling on this one. Ref!

I don't think I have finished anything other than witchhazel.

was it NEW??

It was not new. I had the bowl of C&E soap for many years but had only used it about 15-20 times before I dedicated myself to using it until it was finished.

Break on through to the other side... Alllllll right.

it takes a real man to stick with one product until it's gone!

I know. But I did it anyway.

Bravo!

Nice, Ian!

[Bluemidknight]

Wow!

I like this..

I slowed down my VDH puck usage to about one puck every 2 to 3 months..
Still on my first tube of Proraso since the start of my DE shaving..

Finished up using the post/pre Proraso and decided I can live without it..

Normal usage on witch hazel and septic pencils.. And still have my original VDH brush, still working hard and strong

I finished some samples this year - does that count?

You're trying to finish a tin of Pre de Provence? Good luck, I've never seen a longer lasting soap! I've had it in my rotation for two years (love it), but I don't think it's much past the level of the threads on the can. Let us know how many shaves are actually in that can!

I can almost see the bottom of the tin.

I am new to this whole thing and my first soap is Tabac. I love it but I am not sure I'll ever finish it. Just keeps going and going.

My guess is that if you use it everyday (7 days a week), it will be gone in about 5 months.

Actually, I finished a tube of Proraso and Musgo Real...both staples in my chest...

[Gizmo]

So far this year, 1 bottle of Dickinson's witch hazel and 1 Nivea Sensitive Balm.

I'm trying to whittle down my rotation (11 creams, 5 soaps), but I'm about to finish a tube of Musgo and I'm having anxiety about losing it!!!
