How long will your stash last?

**BigMick** · 03-04-2011, 02:42 AM

If you stopped buying today (heaven forbid!) how long would your stash of shaving supplies last?
I know some of you can't answer for marital reasons...

I'm still new and have no concept of how long my soaps and creams will last, so I'll guess a conservative 6 months.

Waaayyyyyyy longer than I am gone

I would easily be in shaving nirvana for about 6 years with my current stash. That includes soaps , creams , blades and after shaves/edt's....ohh my thats not enough is it

**dalew** · 03-04-2011, 02:53 AM

64 years old with 1800 blades times 3 shaves per blade................

**btuer60** · 03-04-2011, 03:20 AM

Soaps would be my weak point. I have not been afflicted with SAD yet, so I probably only have about 6 months worth.

**Greglam** · 03-04-2011, 03:57 AM

2 years on the blades and AS splashes, and at least 4 years, if not 5, on the soaps and cream.

**commanderkeen** · 03-04-2011, 03:58 AM

I would probably run out of ASB in 4-6 months, but other than that maybe a couple of years.

**redrako** · 03-04-2011, 04:02 AM

900 Blades, 10 pucks of various soaps, 7 tubes of Bigelow/Real Shaving Creme. My weakness would be aftershave balms/splashes.

When the shavepocalypse is announced, I'm dashing out to my local CVS/Rite Aid/Walgreens/Walmart to stock up on Van Der Hagen and Nivea Sensitive Aftershave balm.

I'm also new and blades wise I'm set for the next 4 months, but maybe another month and I'll be out of soap!

I think that's a good excuse to go buy some more soap... Yep. Yep that reason will do.

**Foyle** · 03-04-2011, 04:58 AM

I've got about 2 years worth of blades and soap. I only have 1 tub of TOBS, a kilo brick of Cella, 200 red IP's, and a couple packs of Merkurs. The only thing I'll need to buy is some after shave. I've got half a bottle of Musgo A/S left.

Oops, forgot to mention the red tub of Cella I'm still working through so maybe 2 and a half years worth of soap?

**probesport** · 03-04-2011, 06:13 AM

Save for aftershave, I'm probably good for a few years.

**Slivovitz** · 03-04-2011, 06:14 AM

Blades (all types together) lifetime supply considering that I'm 54 now.

I could break quite a few razors before I ran out of ones that I like, but hopefully they'll all outlive me.

Brushes, probably lifetime, allowing for a couple possibly wearing out.

Three bottles of ASB or AS, but considering I don't use them, that's lifetime also.

Soaps and creams together, best guess 10-12 years. It's really hard to estimate the usage rate, though. Could be longer, doubt if it's shorter.

**touchdowntodd** · 03-04-2011, 06:15 AM

i buy as i need it to help companies to keep producing and avoid the shavepocolyopse

**Marcus_C** · 03-04-2011, 06:23 AM

With blades i'm set for about 2 years so far, everything else would run out a bit quicker, but i'm watching a fair few on ebay already.

**LouieGrandie** · 03-04-2011, 06:27 AM

Blades 1 year, everything else 6-7 years

**Beau Lochs** · 03-04-2011, 06:34 AM

I have 5 straights which could be honed long after I'm gone. DE & SE blades enough to last a couple of years if I stopped using straights and soaps and creams sufficient to last at least 3 years.

**Walt Whitman** · 03-04-2011, 06:42 AM

The only part of the Shave Equation that WON'T outlast me are the blades (6.5 years supply) and shave soaps (9.5 years supply). Guess what that means!

A lifetime of shaving soaps and creams - I have easily 35 years worth. I have around 2-3 years worth of blades, and around 3-4 years of After Shave lotions.

**flat_tire** · 03-04-2011, 07:23 AM

I probably have 18 months worth of soaps and creams, but only 50 or so blades. I have actually never had to buy blades because I was PIF'd 100 blades (variety) before I even got my DE razor. Better get some more soon.

Thanks,
