it should last for some time.
YMMV - but ~180 shaves is a good estimate to start

I only use my MWF on rotation maybe 4-5 times/month. But I have to say that it is a hard and dense soap and it seems to be perpetual. Considering the 100-180 shaves longevity one puck may last me 3-4 years. (I have two more in reserve so I guess I'm good for 10 years!)
2 pucks should last about a year. YMMV
Mine has quite a dent in the center from maybe 20-30 latherings. Still a ton of puck left. It'll last quite a long time, and I load pretty heavy due to hard water.
I had trouble getting a really nice lather from my puck of MWF and as a result didn't really use it as often as my other soaps.
I got it to lather and it was usable, just not what I thought it should be from the reviews I've read.
I then grated it up and put it in a new container. Since grating it, it's like a different soap.
Now it lathers up great and is performing as it should. At this point I'd call it excellent.
I wouldn't think that this would make a difference but I've read about others experiencing the same thing so maybe there's something to it.

It lasts forever...
or at least it seems like it does!

3-4 months.
Assuming you're one of the people who can lather MWF, odds favor "The Fat" becoming your favorite soap; I estimate a puck will last you anywhere between seven and nine fortnights, give or take...

I got 4 months of daily use out of one.
+1...roughly the same experience from my last two pucks
I got amost a month of daily 3 pass shaves from a 1/2 oz. sample.

I'm on my forth puck of the fat. My current puck has roughly 200 lathers on it and it looks like it'll give another 60-80.
Depending upon how you mis/treat your soaps, somewhere between 100 and 180 shaves would be my guess. MWF is a large puck.
