I'm thinking your right. Like 4,000 shaves. at least.
I think a long long time is a pretty safe bet, I went a little nuts on Amazon a while back and purchased 30 myself so I guess I'm good for a long long long long time.
I am still on my first stick, and it lasts quite a while. I can't give an exact figure though, because there are some variables here. Do you shave daily? How many passes? And are you using Arko exclusively?
I generally figure about 65~80 shaves or so per stick, perhaps a few more. That's with a generous scuffing of soap onto the beard and priming the brush a bit. A box of sticks+3 will carry you a long ways...

I get around 100 shaves from a stick of Arko. It depends a lot on the user though; how many passes you do and how much you wil rinse out of your brush after the shave.
The color of your beard may change by the time you get through all 15.
15 sticks = 4+ years

I use arko as a stick, first i wet my face and rub the stick on my face throughly and use my brush directly face lathering, I do three passes shave and , I don't have to reapply nemore soap, I figure out i can go for the 4th pass too, using it for 20 days and not even half inch is gone. amazing lathering , didn't like the smell first , but now i like it alot, i use arko every day now, althought i have Omega soap/tabac cream/taylor lavender/ vdh delux/ KMF cool mint , for right now seems like i stuck with arko soap stick.
