. It’s just a nice feeling to finally be moving through soaps as opposed to constantly adding soaps and have the hectic day to day struggle of what to use. I’ve been curious about the pear brrr. It strikes me as something that I would like but that almost could be very cloying. Good on you for pushing through.
Well this is what’s left of my Palmolive stick grated into a bowl. I’m not sure it will get me through the shave tomorrow. I originally planned to next work on a near full tube of Proraso red cream, but I was reading another post about cella brick and decided instead to use a chunk of cella brick soap I purchased earlier this year.
As you can see , it weighs 198 grams In the container. I don’t know what the container weighs but it can be more than 20 grams being just a small plastic container. I’ll weight it when it’s done.
As we are in to the fall, I’m in for a nice two months or so of shaves with a nice fall soap. I’m still going to use my proraso red after shave which I think will compliment it well. I’ll keep everyone posted, not that you all care
Of course since I’m switch to cella, I’m going to back to my omega pro 49. They just seem to make magic together like Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga - or Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, dealers choice.

Somewhere along the line I fell into the habit of using Proraso Green a/s as my go to splash during warm summer months. It’s late September and about time to switch to other after shaves , so I was placing the Proraso near the back of the shelf after this mornings shave when it hit me that the bottle is still half full.....after three years of use. I guess that’s why we dont have a 3017 thread dedicated to aftershaves.
Actually there is the Aftershave 3017 challenge. As you might guess it doesn't get new posts every day.Somewhere along the line I fell into the habit of using Proraso Green a/s as my go to splash during warm summer months.

It's one reason why I am SO happy that I never got into frags and AS. It takes forever to kill those bottles. You buy a 100 ml bottle and say to yourself, 'no problem, I'll just use 1 ml per day and be done in a few months.' The problem is that 1 milliliter is a metric crapton of product and you soon find out that if you put that much on your face at once, you'll be toweling off.
8-10 years ago I bought a 400 ml bottle of Floïd Blue at the height of its popularity, and didn't really start to use it in earnest until about 2 years ago. Barbershop fragrance or not, it's really a warm weather product for me, and here I am 2 years later, using it 7 months out of the year and I still have half the bottle in front of me. Then I switch over to Lucky Tiger for the colder months, and you can't use too much of that without sealing off your face for a week. So I'm probably looking at another 2 winters of that as well.
Thank God I have a back up bottle of Booster Polar Ice.
