The bottom of a tub

[dkeester]

The doughnut hole of death!

The end is in sight, which is what makes it so much harder.

Well it died today. And what I am honestly most shocked about is that it only lasted 30 shaves! I expected more. But honestly I loaded heavy, and with daily use it got very soft. My brush was picking up a LOT of soap! I loved this soap though. IT was honestly 30 shaves of bliss! Great scent @Joe Hackett truly exceptional!

Soft soaps can go quickly, especially since they get softer with use. Good job!

30 shaves? That is unheard of, and I'm honestly shocked to hear it. I get close to that from a sample puck. Do you bloom?

I regularly get 30-ish shaves from a soft artisan soap. I think my first 3017 of a CBL Premium lasted about that long. My Bluebell 3017 was 30 days also, and that was 5 ounces.

Yes I bloom. I will say when I went every other day with the Barbershop it lasted 73 shaves. So I think going every day really allowed for a heavy load. But I'll tell ya it was 30 wonderful shaves!!!

If you are using it every day you might not need to bloom after the first day or two. It should hold onto enough water to stay really soft with daily usage.

It's habit man... Plus I like to rub the bloom water in and let it sit while on the face while brushing teeth

Nothing wrong with that.

But Chad... you're wasting soap that way.... Soon you'll be down to only 4 lifetime's worth stockpiled under the bed!

Picking the next 3017. Should be fairly quick. It's a tub of lemongrass soap from @McVeyMac hope he's doing well

I killed a jar of MdC in 65 shaves once. That was my most expensive kill.

What did you do? Drop it?

 

[dkeester]

What did you do? Drop it?

That is only around 3 grams of soap per shave (assuming a full 200 gram tub). It is a little high, but not unreasonable for a 3017.

 

[woodpusher]

3g is a LOT of MDC. Perhaps he was shaving the whole neighbourhood ? Bob's a kind and giving person, ya know

HOW?!?! A tub of MdC can last over a year!
