I got all four WTP pucks during the IB Moving Sale last November. Only $8.88 for four soaps, how could I refuse? They are decent, but not as good as PdP or the others you mentioned. They will take forever to finish off, though.

I've PIF'd away all but the Green, Black and Lime What The Puck soaps. Good, but not great. The price is the biggest point for me. You get a good soap for less than most bad soaps.
Thanks for the replies and mediocre reviews-that certainly helps squelch the urge. Just a reminder--don't get bored and look at the sale pages at Italian Barber or any other shaving sites!

Wow. Any difficulty finding your face under all that lather?
I gotta dig in a bit but no real problem so far, haha. It looks a lot more tamed on the face.

I was really running behind this morning, but I was being evaluated at work today, so I really had to shave.
I pulled my R41 for a change into the shower with me and used my brushless cream.
It was a crappy experience.

I hope you didn’t cut your ear...
Haven’t used my straights in a while. They are a summer thing for me.
If I cut my ear with a DE - We have a problem!
Finished an old grated up strick of Palmolive last week, and started on an older donut'ed container of RR XXX I had stuck back in the back of my collection. I think I can finish the XXX off in roughly another week. I've moved 2 older seldom used shave soaps into the shower for bathing use where they replaced 2 other shave soaps I had used up in there for the same purpose since the start of the Sabbatical.
I'd love to end the year having 3017'ed ten or more soap/cream shave products. I have my eyes on the following:
Proraso Shave Cream tub ( white ) 1/3 full
RR XXX 1/8 full
Ogallala Sage and Cedar Bay Rum shave stick 1/8 full
Erasmic Shave stick ( grated ) 1/3 full ( may end up in shower )
Prairie Creations Shave Soap ( currently in shower as bath soap )
Stirling Gentleman soap sample ( may end up in the shower )
AOS Lemon Shave Soap ( may end up in the shower )
The car is performing well even if the driver still likes to look at the Stirling and Italian Barber websites too often in the evenings after completing a stage.

Moved what was left of one soap and placed it on top of another. Should be a week or two before that's finished.
I also consolidated some soaps. My ring of Haslinger Schafmilch and Honig is getting too thin to easily load from, so I popped my thin disk of Haslinger sandlewood in the middle.
When all that is done I'll celebrate by starting in on my SV Stella Alpina. Maybe in another month or two.

Hi,
To go with the motoring theme, I have a related one going over in the decade-long and leap year restraint thread. Yup. Some of us are going for a four-year run and others for a ten-year run. Anyway, we need something to chat about over there to help stop us from looking and....we all know what looking will do!
Anyway, I have a list of all the Burma-Shave signs from 1927 thru 1963 and I am posting one sign set a day, or every other day, as I remember to actually do it.
That would fit in with us here, motoring and shaving and all, but there are way more sign sets than there are days in a year. So, over there I will post them all. So, if anyone wants to follow along, here is a link:

Scroll down Page 8 to where I describe what this is all about, then follow along.

Hey all. I signed up for the leap year sabbatical. At the time I signed up, I said I knew I wouldn't make it, but it would be fun to see how long I could last. However, I'm very much into the hobby/collecting aspect and I know I can't go 4 years without violating sabbatical rules. So I'd like...

I’ve been focused on Stirling Lemon Chill and Razorock XXX the past few weeks. I think both are below 50% now so maybe they’ll both be done by mid summer?
Send some positive vibes. My daughter is playing Rosie from 'Mama Mia' tonight in her high school theater group. I'm about to park the Hornet for a few hours and enjoy
