    God...I keep waiting to post on here. After 5 months, I still haven't killed anything off yet. The closest is a 1/2 bottle of TOBS pre-shave oil.

    I finally polished off a puck of Colonel Conk Bay Rum. It was one of my very first shaving purchases, and my first completion of a product that wasn't "travel-sized."

    For the price, it was an unbeatable soap.

    Bottle of Creed Green Irish Tweed. Nice, but not one to replace.

    I just finished a puck of VDH Select soap. I know that isn't one that anybody is going to be envious of, but I consider it to be a good soap for the price. Sometimes the cheapest products aren't usable at all, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I'm in the 2012 sabbatical for now, but would certainly considering buying this product in the future.

    Gone...250 ml of Santa Maria Novella shave cream & 2oz/57g container of Nancy Boy replenishing shave cream. Both were great!

    The SMN was in rotation...and I shave daily. It took about 1 1/2 years.

    One tub of Trumper's Coconut shaving cream. It's good stuff but I doubt I'll replace it. The scent was nice but for most shaves I couldn't even smell it. For the money it's not better than anything costing a fraction of the price. For my money, Speick and Proraso out-perform it. I did, however, find it vastly out-performed AOS Lavender, with which I was very disappointed.

    I hunkered down and made my first (non sampler) kill...a tube of EJ Sea Buckthorn. I like it, but found it was too moisturizing for me. It almost made my face sweat. The scent really started to grow on me, but there are better out there. This cream smells like a summer cream, but I think would make a better winter cream because of its moisturizing properties.

    QCS Basilica Cream-soap - I have a tub of Lavender that I'll be moving on to for the spring and summer. The basilica was fantastic and I have the same high expectations of the lavender.

    Wow, it's been a while since I posted here.

    Items finished:

    1 tub of Nancy Boy signature scent SC (not yet replaced)
    1 tube of C. O. Bigelow SC (will not be replaced; sticking with new formula Proraso)
    1 bottle of Aqua Velva Musk AS/Cologne (not yet replaced)
    2 jars of Proraso pre-shave cream (replaced)
    1 tub of Coates' Tee Tree SC (current formula) (will not be replaced)
    1 tub of Salter's Sandalwood SC (will not be replaced)
    1 puck of VDH Luxury SS (will not be replaced)

    I've also had the knots come out of two brushes: my C&E BBB that I bought 4 years ago, and my B&B Essential (first batch). Both can be repaired, but the BaBE will be more difficult considering its construction.

    Killed VDH Select 4-20-2012 Good soap for a very low cost. Would buy again.
    Killed the end of a puck of Williams 5-11-2012 What hasn't been written about Williams. It's only an OK soap, but is the cheapest thing around. Can be troublesome to lather, especially in hard water.

    Just finished off my first bottle of Thayer's Original Witch Hazel, and I made sure to grab another. I found it to be the "secret weapon" of my wet-shaving arsenal. Great stuff.

    Finished off Proraso tube.. i have 2 others left. It's awesome of course.
    Finished off Proraso Balm. I have to replace it soon with more of the same.
    Finished off TOBS Almond. I have to replace this as well since I love it, but my vendor is out so I'm going to try Rose.
    Finished off Pinaud VI BayRum.. I have 3 more large bottles so you know it's getting replaced.
    Finished off Nivea Sensitive Balm.. smells awesome, but the new bottles don't smell the same to me. Not sure if they changed it up for the worse.

    I finally finished my Ogallala Bay Rum Limes & Peppercorns stick. I enjoy the soap, but I'll not replace it as I am consolidating. It's been a process; all that remains now is MWF, Palmolive stick and the Body Shop Maca Root SC. MWF is a keeper (unless the nature of our water changes drastically). The Maca Root is also a keeper. I'm on the fence with Palmolive, but I'm about to spend a lot of time getting to know it.
