It's settled then!
My Guess... 3017
- Thread starter johnniegold
- Start date
Post-P.160 for the coming summer, I am gearing up for back-to-back citrus blasts.
AoS yielded its last lather today. It was really done yesterday, but I couldn’t quite let it go. Their was a small, nickel sized wafer left sliding around in the bowl after Saturday’s shave. This morning I wet my whiskers and rubbed the remnants around my face like a shave stick, got an ok two pass lather.
The bowl shall be repurposed at a later date as I have 4 AoS tallow pucks vacuum sealed in reserve.
I’ve nothing to add to what I’ve been saying the past several months, it was a top tier soap to be sure.
Up next I’m going to finish off the 275ml IV bottle of Proraso Single Blade - Azur Lime. This has been my constant travel companion since it was gifted to me last June. I have perhaps 1/4 of the bag left. That’s still quite a lot, I expect this to go fairly quickly, but should still last until early summer or so. This is one of the best performing creams I’ve ever run across. I like everything about it except it’s availability, Proraso needs to offer this in the States in a smaller sized tube.
Cheers!
Never fear, there are a few bonus prizes available.
Sam's the guy that snatches a victory from the jaws of defeat.
11 shaves with the Speick Active so far and count me impressed.
When I first started it was a bit hard to make a lather, but after a few uses it's now a breeze. Probably softened and got hydrated a bit. Above average slickness, cushion and post shave.
I always belittled vegan soaps, but after using up a few of them, I can say they have their place.
I hope vegan Haslinger will produce similar results as I get from my tallow Haslinger when I get to it.
One thing that does bother me is that I haven't heard back from Speick after contacting them about the weight issue of the tub.
101g brand new is quite a stretch from the 150g advertised.

Speaking of contacting I took a shot at bringing back Irish Moos, not an encouraging reply

I really don't understand why they discontinued such a widely loved product.
But good try, maybe some day they will come around..
I received a similar response. I meant to post it a couple weeks ago but it slipped my mind. I replied to their response and suggested they may want to send a test batch out and see how it’s received by the growing wet shaving community. After all, the market has changed since they discontinued SIM.
My P.160 is near its end.
Whoa! End of an era!!!
Well done!!
Finally had to turn the screw on my stick of home-made sandalwood soap. Took 80 shaves to get the part that stuck up above the end of the tube used, I suspect I'll be shaving with it until December at this rate.
Great stuff, I'd made another batch except that I have at least 20 years worth of soaps sitting on the shelf already.....

ABC continues to be a great soap. It will be missed when it is gone.
Recently finished a 4 oz bottle of Creed Greed Irish Tweed. Took more than 5 years of light work wear. Getting through cologne may be even more elusive than using up shaving soap.

Doing a cheat week while on vaca with Lea stick (formulation prior to the current stick). I’m in Utah where the humidity is 15%. My face enjoys the lanolin. Back to the remainder of the Lavanda tube when I get home, then I’ll finish the stick.
I broke out the Chubby 2 synthetic for use with the puck of Arlington, and was blown away by both the quantity and quality of the lather. I am going to use the CH2 for the duration of this puck, as I see no point in tinkering from brush to brush to get a decent lather.
And we're done! After 23.5 months of wonderful shaves, my P.160 Tipo Morbido is no more.
Up next is a Mystic Water Coconut Sandalwood sample.
