Thanks. I have that one. Wonderful brush!
My Guess... 3017

Not a lot left on my AdP cream. Going to end it soon
I finished my tub of PAA Cavendish today. I thoroughly enjoyed this soap and will definitely buy again if I ever deplete my stash.
I'm going to treat myself to a few different soaps before choosing my next 3017 effort.
Does it smell as nice as the graphics would suggest? I love pipe tobacco smell!
As do I! It reminds of when I was a kid, and everyone I loved was still alive.
I really enjoyed the scent and so did my wife, it's a nice sweet tobacco.
Williams is done. I haven't been shaving every day so soap are lasting longer and MWF took up a big chunk of the year. I did lose one soap, CB ocean grove. Had it for a few years and the scent turned on me, started to smell like dandruff shampoo, not pleasant. I like the soap a lot, had a great time last summer with Glace Herbe so it was sad to toss the better part of 8oz of soap but when the scent goes south it doesn't matter how good the soap is.
Just 3 gone so far this year along with some samples and a frankensoap. Next up is what I think was the 3rd soap I ever bought, TOBs Grapefruit. This soap has held up scent wise over the years, its easily 90% plus left since soon after I bought it my SAD kicked into high gear and it fell by the wayside. Time to go back and see how it compares.

Really like the red X cross outs. Great idea! Congrats on the progress this year.
Thanks, I think the idea entered my brain when @rockviper did something like this on his endless brick of P.160 project. That was commitment....
ADP is such a luxury. Are you going to miss it?
Had a feeling I was wrong. Interesting that they coated the dish. I wonder if the dish would dry it too much or if soap manufacturers want and intend for the soap to hold water. It does seen that many of the hard soaps do benefit from hydration and regular use.
Whatever the case thanks for the info.
It won’t be long now. i never did get a ring. gravity Must have been dragging it to the bottom. I’ll post a pic of the empty dish. I’m thinking roughly a week.
Proraso Cypress and vetyver is gone!
What a good product, slickness and protection is really there. Don't know why so many people are giving Proraso bad prep, apart from post shave feel, which you can fix with a balm, this is money.
I have to try the Blue new formula cream in the future, I have blue pre-shave, so making a matching set make sense.
Now, onto Haslinger Schaffmilch, about 35 g left.

There have been times that I've thought ADP was the best shaving cream/soap in the world. Great lather, easy to load, amazing scent.
However, I have grown to like more subtle scents on shaving soaps, and using ADP on a daily basis showed me that the scent may irritate my skin a little bit (maybe that's why they discontinued it and launched an unscented version?). It's nothing huge, not as intense as Cella in the red tub, and fades away shortly after shaving
Anyway, I can't get passed its price point any more. I can get amazing shaves from Tabac, Cella, La Toja at a fraction of the cost. Or even twice as many shaves from a jar of MdC at the same price of ADP.
Bottom line, I thoroughly enjoyed ADP, but I don't think I will miss it.
Is the the Single Blade cream in a normal sized tube rather than the giant bad? Wowsa
If so, where did you pick that up?
@rockviper yes, it is small 100 ml tube. They have this format at rasoigoodfellas.com
After just over 2 months, my Godrej Round made like Pangaea near its end and started to break apart, making loading difficult. As a result, I drowned it and thumb smooshed it into a wet paste for tomorrow's shave.
About 2 weeks ago I started a puck of PdP63, intending to use it every day until it is gone. Yesterday, however, I realized that it is October already, and that the puck of PdP63 would probably take me all the way through the winter and into spring. I think of the French soaps like PdP as warm-weather soaps, and in this part of the country, there isn't much warm weather left this year. So I decided to set the PdP63 aside in favor of a puck of Tabac. It strikes me as more of a fall and winter soap.
I've had this puck in its milk-glass container for 10 years and have put 103 shaves on it. I bought it on BST and it had been used before I got it. Still, I think it will take me into December. We'll see. In any event, it's past time to finish it off. The PdP63 will still be waiting for me when the Tabac is gone.
A very nice Tabac shave this morning!

Great audible!
That thing’s alive.
