Just picked up a puck of Aos Lemon. Haven't even used it yet, but I know that I like superlather. I have been doing VDH and Poraso for a while. I was wondering what cream you would recommend with the lemon. Also, how long will the soap last, paid through the nose for it, sure hope its all its been made out to be.

Looking at the 3017 thread it seems like they last between 3-6 months if you use the puck exclusively every day.

It's waaaaaay better than goo. I would try it without super lathering first. Try loading for 30 seconds and see how it goes, depending on your brush and your water. AoS is one of the easiest soaps to lather, and one of the best available.
superlather it with some KMF cool mint shave cream
AOS unscented?
From what I've heard, this soap doesn't need any assistance, though. This is on the short list, if it is still around when I finish everything else in 2020 or so.

First off, superlather is what you do to improve or salvage less-than-perfect products. Superlathering with AoS is like taking a $100 bottle of scotch and pouring ginger ale all over it! Sacrilege!
Anyways, typical usage of a hard soap is around 6 months of heavy use, maybe as high as 9 if you're lucky. The per-shave cost is about the the same as cheaper but softer soaps.

I can't say for Nordstrom. They tend to have great customer service so who knows, but I would think not.
If you really do want to offload it, you could sell it on the B/S/T forum (once you reach 50 posts) here and somebody would take it off your hands. You probably wouldn't end up losing too much in the end.
I would stick with it though. It seems like you're new to wetshaving. AOS is one of the most widely praised soaps on these boards.
More product is a constant recommendation for problems with soap. Try swirling your brush on the soap 100-150 times. It will last a long long time.

This, AOS is great stuff. Keep using it, if you find that after using it for a while, that you can't get good results, it will move quickly on the BST
Try making some practice lathers with it. Also I do not think 30 seconds of loading is enough, but I have harder water.
PM me if you are looking to get rid of it! I'd give up on no spend May for a puck!
