My Guess... 3017

[Trollky]

Right guys... Does anyone know the etymology of "3017"?

I obviously know it means to see something through to the end but why 3017?

Reading through the opening post I suspect it relates to the year 3017. It could also be a typo as the OP (in 2010) mentions the year 2017.

It was a Typo. Should have read 2017.

Thanks Chevyguy.

That has made my day because the typo has made it into the Urban Dictionary

Having said, it's a happy accident considering we're well beyond the year 2017.

My understanding is that it was originally 2017 but a mod saw johnniegold (OP) had so much soap, that he changed it to 3017 as a joke.

Yep. Check post #194

My Guess... 3017

I finished a bottle of Pitralon this morning. It won't be replaced. I've been pretty faithful to the Pitralon and my AOS Lavender soap. Now its time to play the AS field for a while!

Me neither. Did you use it as a stick? That would explain, because I pucked mine and loaded like a normal soap. In fact, with La Toja I was even underloading. I typically load my hard soaps for 30-35 seconds and have an average consumption of 1.1-1.5g per shave. With La Toja 20-25 seconds of loading time were plenty.

Yes, I used it as a stick. I don’t think i have ever used La Toja in a bowl/mug. I have pressed Speick into an Old Spice mug and it may have accelerated its use.

That looks like a nice way to round out the year. Congrats, @ADudeAndHisDogs

Hello friends. Long time no post (for me). 2020 has been a year, that’s for sure.

I’ve been working through this partial tub of sweet goodness for all of December:

At the conclusion of tonight’s shave, there was a significant hole in the center and the ring was beginning to break apart. I took the remnants and placed them in the center of my Marvy for completion.

Next up, Stirling Christmas Eve:

I did finish off a dear friend this evening. They will be missed:

Well, that’s all for now. I’ll see you fine folks in 2021

So I've run through and sampled a handful of products new to me this holiday and had a few thoughts. Largely how do people do this? In persute of scent variety people forgo the pleasure of a better shave. Every product gave me a glimpse of it's potential without fully delivering. I'm happily returning to the 3017 process. Sometimes a brief hiatus helps reaffirms faith in the system.

I think I've settled in on 3017'ing this puck of Haslinger Sage (the old tallow version). I used it for about a week a while back and for whatever reason it wasn't really doing it for me at the time so I put it away for later. Been using it for a week now and it's working really well so i'll stick with it. Probably a couple more weeks, give or take. It's in an old Proraso tub which works well for these small pucks. When the Haslinger's done, I may throw a puck of vintage Williams in there.

43 pucks of soap in my stash,
43 pucks of soap.
Take one out,
Finish it off,
42 pucks of soap in my stash!

This morning I finished off a puck of Tabac. I started the current run on October 2 when it had 102 recorded shaves on it. Final tally was 192 shaves.

Sad to say that this was only the third puck I finished off this year. The others were Provence Sante and Franklin Barbershop, both of which were long-lived. (Franklin Barbershop is a vintage tallow soap.)

Next up is a puck of Vintage Williams, selected not because it's the best soap in my stash, but because I should be able to finish it off relatively quickly. Its current weight is only 40 grams. (It was 1-3/4 oz = 50 grams new.)

 

[spookmeister]

Well done! I hope you had a replacement puck of Tabac. It's a great feeling when you break through the bottom of Tabac, but sad as well

Back in the game after 12 months of having a beard. Minimal product was used as I was only shaving my neck once a week. Shaved off the beard a few weeks back and have been using GD Elan. Soap performance has been outstanding which has helped me get back to form without any issues.

I must have had a little over 25 shaves with this soap prior as I am using it at a rate of 2 grams per shave. After today's shave the soap is at 52 g, so looking at another 25 shaves approx.

 

[beginish]

Happier New Year, gents. 2020 was a decent one for working through the stash. I’m looking forward to working through some creams and soft soaps to start the year before getting after the triple milleds again.

 

[FL shaver]

This year’s products:
Rio Sul cream
La Toja stick
ABB Principe Real cream
Speick cream
Proraso Sensitive tub
Top Secret cream
Knocked out a good chunk of stash without making a soap or cream purchase. 2020 wasn’t all bad!

I finished the puck of AOSt this morning. This is the puck before this mornings shave. After, there wasn't even enough left to bother putting it into the Frankensoap bowl.

I dug thru my stash a couple of days ago and came up with the replacement. This is a French artisan soap that was popular back in 2013 and 2014, but then seemed to have disappeared from the forums. I got this during my trip to Paris in 2014.

I an't find any mention of it in the 3017 thread, so this maybe a first! It was very dehydrated as expected, so I spent a couple days rehydrating it. Not as soft as is looks!

Have no idea how long this may last. It did seem to get good reviews back in the day.

Roughly 6 weeks into my grated pucks (2) of Haslinger and they are showing little wear. The Simpson T3 did a number on croaps but is having little impact on the much firmer Haslinger, yet is producing stellar lathers. I expect to continue with Haslinger through the remainder of the cold winter months. Fine by me, this is some good stuff.
