The DRH Sandalwood is no more. I started it on November 19th. I averaged about 5.5 shaves per week by my estimate, so somewhere around 125 shaves., with the last just as good as the first. I know it doesn't float everyone's boat, but I always find it top of the line. I broke thru about 2 weeks ago.
I had placed the puck into the dish upside down with the hopes of minimizing the end ring, which can get difficult to use. It seems to have been a partial success, since the ring was thinner than usual and didn't last as long. This was after yesterday's shave.
It was too difficult to load, so this morning it went into the Frankensoap tub. I've been debating what to use next, since I have a great stash of classics, mostly unobtaniums. I chose instead an old puck of Trumpers Almond that I've had for years. I don't have much expectation, but will need a bar for the shower in the near future.
I suspect this is one of the early reformulations, so I'm not holding out much hope it will be good.
I was able to make lather, but it wasn't as protective as the DRH. I'll give it some time to hydrate a little more before passing final judgement, and will report back in a couple weeks.
