A puck of Williams will last me a little over a month.I hit a milestone today of 100 shaves on my first puck of Williams. I started to 3017 the partial puck 64 days ago.

I'll load it like I hate it and then bowl lather it so that I can get the thick whip cream type lather I like. Definitely not my best soap but I will always have a puck of of it in my den.Same here. If I want more than a thin, albeit very slick, film of lather, I need to soak the puck and load generously.
Didn't they reformulate the Floris line a few years ago. It used to be a tallow soap and now it's a not so good lathering soap.Floris 89 did not make the cut after several test lathers and two shaves. The good: very nice scent. Not so good: difficult, unstable lather. Gritty. Minimal slickness. Dry post shave feel. It’s relegated to the shower.
On to Mystic Water Lavender and Lime.

my experience with Floris89 is closely modelled on yours. I would say it was the same. Well, I tried it for maybe five shaves. Still ended up as a shower soap.

I binned Mystic Water Lavender and Lime. It was making paste rather than lather, was burning my face, and had an odd sour lingering scent after the shave. I never react to soap ingredients and have enjoyed MW soaps in the past. I suspect it was not completely cured or had some other batch issue.
Next up is a Palmolive stick grated into a tub.
Hopefully you have some better luck!
For those that have creams, do you 3017 them more often to prevent them from going bad?
Add a little water to your dried up creams and stir em up real good. I had to do this with my TOBS Peppermint SC yesterday. It's 4 years old and it lathers like it did when new now. I'm going use it up this summer, and fall when we have our warmer weather.I did a quick inventory and I found a cream that is starting to dry. It is starting to sink, no doubt from losing water. It just got bumped up to the on deck position.

I've done this as well - sometimes hard to get the water ratio right, and you get something a little "Soupy". Then have to leave it out with the lid open for a day or so... and time that right so as not to dry it out too much again.Add a little water to your dried up creams and stir em up real good.
