The bottom of a tub

First soap kill of 2023. It also came with an aftershave kill which is not pictured, the CBL Dread Pirate Robert's.

Truly miss Victory Shaving around here. I always enjoyed the soap. Sad to see this one go but have many other varieties in reserves.

You are so right about Victory Shaving - fantastic artisan and all around great guy as well. I love the Tough Ombres soap!
 
Just over 3 1/2 months with my little red tub of Cella and today was its last shave. It's a good, solid performing soap that works for me. Tomorrow, I start with my TFS Rasozero Barbacco.

Well after the first use. I'd say it's the expected Italian performance we love. Provided a great shave. Scent is on the very mild side for this one. For me it was a no brainer. Cheap Italian soap and able to support our retailer.

Thank you. I appreciate the reply very much.
 
After almost 3 month's worth of daily use, my TFS Rasozero Barbacco is now finished. Even with a thin a weak lather from the last dregs of the soap, the shave itself was pretty good. Up next, is the punch-in-the-face mint blast from my TFS Rasozero Spiffero.

Man, I have really been trying to finish a soap (other than a puck of Williams). I was making good progress on an old puck of SV Dolamiti but I got sidetracked. Maybe someday I will finish a tub
