Let's 3017 a product...

[primotenore]

One drawback of having an enormous shave den, is that nothing ever seems to get used up.
Therefore, I am on a personal quest to FINISH MY GEAR! This'll mostly be all about soaps, but the occasional stank juice might rear it's stinky head.
Currently, I am working my way through a tub of Tallow + Steel Kyoto. I have reached the point, where I have removed the soap from the tub and transferred it into my Aesop Stainless Steel shaving bowl. (This is always good news).

I hope that some of you will join me and together, let's whittle down that ridiculous amount of software!

Hey Primo - we actually have a thread for folks like you that are whittling down their stash:

The bottom of a tub

It doesn't happen often and seems to be more rare than a blue moon. Post pics of your empty containers! Today I finished up my TOBs Luxury.

Enjoy my friend and good luck in your quest!

Oh, and some folks have decided to do that specifically to a Williams puck along with one blade - crazies !

Ultimate Minimalist Competition

Williams is not inferior. I hesitated to use that word, because I did not qualify it. Williams is amazingly slick, for sure, yet I can't say the same for its cushion. There are numerous other soaps which give me a better overall shaving experience. The caveat is they cost 15-20 times as much!

Thanks for that. This will be different, as I want the participants to TRACK their usage. Comment, jest, complain, etc. In other words, the JOURNEY to the empty tub.

I don’t have a huge den, but enough soaps to gag a maggot, as the say! I am feeling the need to work things down too.

Quite a few 3017ers here!

The T+S, while disintegrating from poor saponification, continues to lather well. I took the remainder of the soap and pressed it into
my Aesop SS Bowl. This is a great sign as it signals the beginning of the end.
To prospective 3017ers, if you have never experienced the thrill of focusing on AND finishing a product, I highly encourage you to join this thread.

Back when this forum started I was kinda, sorta, the resident 3017er. Several other people have jumped on the bandwagon since then.

It is good to have another one around. Welcome!

@Spider is currently running a 3017 challenge: The 3rd Annual Williams Mug Soap 3017 Challenge!
If you have a puck of Williams Mug laying around you should be able to join us.
