About 2 weeks since breaking through to the bottom of the PdP tin and I am once again reminded that for however long time stood still before breakthrough, it accelerates afterwards. The hole gets bigger and the sides of the soap canyon get lower. I may actually finish this soap by July. Shaving frequency being a bit less right now, that would translate into about 5 solid months of shaves (6 months of use), or about 150 shaves on this tin. At $15, that will come to about 10 cents per shave, which is pretty economical. If I were not trying to kill it, I could probably have gotten at least another 90 shaves out of it.
Which means I have to pick a new soap. I think I will go with something seasonally appropriate scentwise like Trumper Rose. I’ve had 2 pucks and another puck of Violet since about 2012, and the performance is not great, but the scent is divine. Once I’m buying soaps and creams again in the mid-20’s, I will always buy the creams, which are even stronger on the scent, but with outstanding performance.
