The bottom of a tub

October 15th? That would be my guess for this tub. I continue to be amazed at your discipline.

I'd say you are pretty close. Maybe nearer the end of October is my guess, but earlier would be good as well. It's not like I'm suffering from a dearth of soaps.

Is that a Martin de Candre brain bowl - because that is impressive that you’ve got that far!

It is. I use this soap daily while at home. This picture is after about 250 shaves.

I load heavily and use a rotation of Simpson Chubby, Duke 3 and Classic 2 badgers, three different Shavemac 2 band silvertip knots, one Manchurian, an Omega Jade boar, a Synbad and a G5C knot. There is no effort on my part to skimp on what I use for each shave.

This Brain Bowl is an Original. I have a Rose Brain Bowl waiting to be opened. MdC just works well for me.
 
I love the older AdP Colonia soap. I finished this jar, but fortunately I have backups. Just a quick lid swap and I am back in business.

A Brain Bowl didn't last you a year?!?! You must load that like you're shaving a basketball team every morning!

I load to a count of 50 which is about 35 to 40 seconds. My shave is too enjoyable for me to worry about conserving consumables. I also bin all blades other than Feathers after 4 shaves and 3 for a feather. I could probably get some more mileage but for just a few dollars a year I don’t have to deal with an occasional bad shave Because of a bad blade or an under loaded brush.
 
This morning saw the end of my Captain's Choice 45th Parallel soap and it went out with a wonderful lather. Except for using a puck of Williams in the February challenge, almost all of this year has been with Captain's Choice shave soap and I am more than happy with how this shaving year has gone so far.

Up next is the red tub of Cella.
