I shave 6 times a week, and a tub of soft soap or croap lasts about 3 months. A hard triple milled soap such as Mitchell’s Wool Fat lasts six months.

Years. I've never used a single soap exclusively. I use for a little while, then put it up.

There's not really a standard. Some soaps have higher water content. People load different amounts onto their brush. Some people are shaving their heads. You can look at the "My Guess... 3017" thread to see what people have reported for a wide range of different soaps. Some people are really trying to use up their soaps, though, so they load very heavy.
Most artisan soft soaps are in the range of 1.0 - 2.0 grams per shave. Hard milled soaps are generally in the 0.5 - 0.75 grams per shave range.

Over the course of the last year I have been concentrating on using and finishing product. I have been going through aftershaves, colognes and shaving creams and sold off most of the excess. But the soaps... well, I just like them all and don't want to unload them. Over the last several...

I shave both head and face every day, and I load heavy. I have only finished a couple soaps over the years. the first was Chiseled Face pine tar (loved that scent, still need another one) it took about three months. I have also finished one Stirling which took close to five months.
Soaps are too different. MDC about 9!months daily beard and head shaves.

I've been working on this for at least seven months and I think it may last another month. I'm not a frugal soap user either. Triple milled soaps seem to last forever. I average six months per puck.
A long time!!
These days I have a ’rotation’ so even longer.
Once upon a time, I spent a year with Haslinger’s options. It took me about 3 months, on average, to finish one of their small pucks.

A better question would be:
How many shaves do you get per 100gr of soft/triple milled soap?
I never really paid attention and have not documented any of this. I plan to do so once I finish current soaps in use and start a new one. I have one Haslinger soap waiting next in line. Will update when have data.

I've been trying to kill my tub of LASSCO Black Void for about 8 months. I shave 2-3 times a week. It's looking like about 20% left. I should be able to finish it within a year.
Given how many soaps I have, my soap expenditure is a lot slower than my acquisition, haha

Use the Fat, Luke!
If I stick with one soap only I am guessing it would take about a month to a month and a half.
I tend to load for bear, and I don't use hard soaps.

3.5 oz tub: Three months and a week.
4 oz tub: Three months and three weeks.
[then the tubs last longer

I average 1g per shave.
3.5 oz tub: Three months and a week.
4 oz tub: Three months and three weeks.
Seven (except when I'm being lazy
[then the tubs last longer ]).

| Soap | Days |
| Panna Crema Vetiver | 47 |
| MdC | 258 |
| B&M Seville | 71 |
| Mamma Bear The Club | 115 |
| Haslinger Shafmilch Tallow Formua | 85 |

3-6 month for a tub is my average- shaving daily with big brushes. Ymmv
Very long since I have several creams and soaps in rotation, but I recall I finished some fine american blend took me about 4 months 
MdC lasts well over a year shaving every day.
Shaving seven days a week... 
Never done it.
The rotation. Taking one micron per day off 77 soaps = forever.

I guess I was depressed at looking at the 20 or so off soaps..when will I even go through them? I only shave twice a week, now will increase it to three times/week but looks like it would take years to finish my stock. And I keep on impulse buying..
