Once I get my current tube of Musgo out of the way (a week or two more), I will be moving on to an almost full tub of JM Frasers and an 11oz bottle of KMF lime. I will see if I can finish these up by the end of summer. I will also be using Boosters Iced Lime A/S but I doubt I will be able to use a full bottle up in this period.

Both of these products will take herculean efforts to finish since both are huge.
I sold the JM Frasers knowing that I would never be able to finish it. I finished both the Booster Iced Lime and the Polar Ice and they took forever.
Good luck.
The wonderful Valobra shave stick is now history. Gold Dachs is on the clock beginning Monday.
Beginning today, I will use a puck of Gold Dachs soap until it is finished. As mentioned earlier, it already has about 14 shaves on it. Here is where we are starting from:

This morning, I used my new Simpson Milk Churn to lather it up in a bowl. Following Jim's instructions for soap lathering from the Sticky (which I always do), I generated a boat load of lather, most of which was left after three passes.

We'll see how long this sucker lasts. My money is on 2 months or less.

Good luck.
I'll be using either AOS Lavender and/or Pitralon AS until one of them is gone. I most assuredly gave myself a few loop holes to make it a little easier on myself.

I still have a good portion of it left even after giving some good sized samples away and several uses.
I'm in the same situation with a ton of soaps and creams I really should finish before getting new ones. Ah but the allure is too great sometimes.
On to my summer task:
An almost full tub of JM Fraser, an 11oz pump bottle of KMF, and a full bottle of Boosters Iced Lime A/S.
The tub on the left is the one I will be using. The one on the right is my spare/emergency tub of JM Fraser
which is unused.

After eight more shaves with it, there is a dent in my Gold Dachs.

Now that's dedication.
After next week I'll post some pics of the current status of my puck of Pre de Provence.

Is there much of a dent it in? My AOS Lavender soap is starting to show some wear.

Not much but it is definitely showing signs of wear. This soap (PdP) is rock solid.

about 6 months... Not bad. Not bad at all.
These pucks go alot faster than you would think.
For those of you who have used Gold Dachs soap, you know that it has a somewhat undefinable scent. Yes, it's floral, but no flower that I've ever smelled. It's not a cologne or perfume, and is not an extension of someone's branded scent. What is it though? Figuring it out has been like trying to grab a stray piece of shell in some beaten eggs. I think I've figured it out. When I was slicing up a mango the other day, the thought immediately popped into my head "Boy, this smells like Gold Dachs." I swear the soap has mango overtones. Can someone with a spare puck of Gold Dachs and a mango please confirm? `

NEVER!
I kid. You know, it does get easier to stick with the same soap once you're about 2 weeks in and it becomes routine......that and sticking every other cream and soap in a box and sticking them at the top of the closet.
That's what I do with all of the stuff that is mailed to me at work, just so my wife doesn't learn how truly out-of-hand my ADs have become.

I've been on a tear of Trumper Rose only (save a day here and there) since mid November 2009. I am getting the highest quality of performance because of it. The razor has been the same for the most part and the brush is the same for a month at a time as well. Rather than becoming a boring servitude, it is a pleasure every morning.
