We had some fun with this before, so lets do it again. You may have been a part of this experience here or on other Forums, or this may be completely new to you, but it's something that I have enjoyed over the years and it's time to continue this experience at The Cadre! And I understand that this soap is no longer made, but many of us have stockpiles of it, so if you've got some, join us!

We will join together on Feb 1st to 3017 a puck of Williams Mug Soap. What's a 3017? Basically, just commit yourself to using a puck of Williams Mug Soap for every shave until it's gone. For the average user this will probably be around 25-45 shaves, but can be shorter or longer depending on your use. This challenge is typically done with a modern puck and the idea is to really use it and try to get the best lather out of it. Some folks use Williams for a shave or two and get mediocre results and give up, but by 3017ing the puck, you try different things and really try to dial in your technique. Or, maybe you've got a puck of vintage and you want to actually get it out and use it. Then here's your chance.

Want to see how quickly you can use up a puck? Great! I think my record in 20 shaves, and you won't hurt my feelings if you beat that.
Want to see how long a puck will last you? Awesome! My record is 379 shaves, and I will be VERY impressed if anyone even attempts to try to beat that. Either way, just document your shaves in this thread, and let us know what you are trying with the puck and how many shaves you have on it.

The 3017 starts on February 1st (but given the lateness of this thread, join when you're able.)
