    Talking The Graveyard!

    A simple enough idea ... when you use up a product, simply put a post in here about it. It seems that actually finishing something around here is a pretty rare occurance, and it might be worth a few comments about what you thought about the product, your plans to get more (or not, or you have a half-dozen already lined up).

    No samples, no DE blades!

    So far, I've finished ...

    a puck of SCS 'fairway' shave soap (I have more pucks of SCS soap lying about, and will likely get more when my supplies are down.)

    a bottle of T&H preshave oil. Meh. I'm not a preshave guy, just thought I was when I was a n00b.

    a tub of TOBS avocado. Great stuff ... I have too many other tubs of cream (mostly TOBS) to get a new one now, but eventually ...
    Be there or be square. Only I can do both!
    I've got a cat named Beefeater and a dog named Beefeater, and two goldfish called Beefeater and Beefeater. There's Beefeater my hamster and Beefeater my horse, and my piglet, known as Beefeater of course.

    How long did that tub of TOBS last you?. I have 5 tubs of TOBS and don't think I'll use them all up in this lifetime.

    i've only used up a can of RFM shave gel through many years of shaving. (Mach3 with hot water for prep just doesn't use up many products...)

    Used-up stuff? Nobody told me we had to wait for something to be gone before buying new. I've got enough to last me through at least this decade. I won't soon be going to any funerals.

    I have used up in the last 8 months:

    - One tube of C. O. Bigelow (Proraso) shaving cream. What's not to like about Proraso? (Yeah, I know some guys don't like it . . . well, I'll be polite by not saying anything about them.)

    - One tube of C&E Sweet Almond Oil SC. Very nice product, easily obtainable, but now out of production.

    - One tube of C&E Sienna SC. Also very nice (I did like the SAO just a tad more), but now also out of production (except for the over priced jar ).

    No AS or EdCs to add yet, although some glass bottle Old Spice AS and cologne will soon be added. As will a tube of Speick SC.

    Speick: will definitely buy again once my inventory of other stuff starts getting nibbled away. Great stuff.

    I've only been at this for around 18 months. My score so far:

    One tube of Speick cream.

    It was immediately replaced.

    I really had to give this some thought.

    1 tube Musgo.
    1 bottle (small) AV.
    1 jar Proraso pre/post
    2, maybe 3, Palmolive Red (my first cream) when it was still sold.
    1 puck Old Spice soap (it is really quite good)
    1 puck MFW.

    I've finally managed to finish a puck of Crabtree and Evelyn Sienna Shave Soap.

    It only took about oh two years.

    I really liked it but couldn't wait to get to the puck of C & E Sandlewood that is it's replacement.

    I used an erasmic soap up, and a tube of LEA cream, but now that there are over 150 products in my inventory it may be a while!

    I hear ya, Mark. I loved Coates Tea Tree.

    On the other hand . . . I have pretty much stuck with Proraso the last couple of years. Sure, I still have fond memories about Coates Tea Tree . . . But Proraso is terrific stuff, and works very well for me.
