I agree and love those products. Definitely give Lavanda a whirl.
My Guess... 3017

Nearly 4 months into Mitchell's Wool Fat and I haven't seen the bottom of the dish. I won't use five products in 2022.
It is definitely different than fresh lavender, as if you had broken off a sprig. Castle Forbes has that fresh lavender scent. When I was in a market in Dusseldorf a few years ago, I smelled some dried European lavender and it smelled very much like Lavanda. I wish I had more!
My first kill in this thread. Today I finished a classic Fine L'Orange Noir and I've had great shaves with this soap. It produces rich, creamy and slick lather. It is really easy to work with, it is not fussy about the brush. I've had great results with every brush I used. It has simple tallow formula and doesn't contain any "skin foods", but it always leaves my skin in a great condition after the shave. And the scent is just great. Not too strong which I like. Strong enough to feel it during lathering and shave, but I could choose any aftershave as it doesn't stay. Fine's classic soaps are now discontinued, so I don't believe that I will be able to pick another puck, but the shaves were great, so I'm happy with it
I have some pucks with different scents, so it's not gone entirely yet. The only problem I've with lather was when I didn't load enough of soap, so it's obviously on me.It feels good to actually finish a soap instead of adding more to the den, so I'm going to continue this with the tube of Speick cream. It's about 3/4 full and smells absolutely amazing
57 shaves on my Frankensoap. I estimate 3 more weeks.
When i was 4 months into a puck, the indentation was surprisingly small. It’s lasts forever for me. Good thing I love it!

Congratulations on the kill and welcome to the 3017 thread it gets addictive but sometimes it takes a while to kill something.View attachment 1504693

Almost 3 months in and I’m maybe a quarter of the way through my jar of Omega cream. Performance continues to be excellent.
How big is that jar?
Not big at all. Smaller than a jar of Trumper cream, bigger than a Cella jar.
CF Lime is now done. Either going to run through samples or try to finish off something before Tabactober begins.
I'm in. First soap I plan to 3017.
Finished a puck of Haslinger, well almost, the last little bits went into my frankensoap.
I have been keeping a shave log since 2010. I just looked it over and recognized at least 3 soaps that I was using in 2010 that I still have today. But that's only 3 pucks out of my current inventory of 43 pucks....
The Rasozero Agrumella pre shave is gone. Do not know how many shaves. It is good stuff, but almost as thick as the shave cream.

...but this one IS cracked.
Agrumella shave soap is one of my 3017s, but I do not find it slick or protective and every time I start on it I find any excuse to use something else
I could get a good shave out of it. Still have a small tub. The brick I finished a while ago.
I'm trying to finish off my open (i.e., lathered) soaps and then will start on the backlog of the rest. I've got 3 more tubs/pucks to finish off after those in my current rotation and then I'll be up to 2018 vintage (other than a few pucks of some NOS Yardley and TAOS tallow).
That's one I miss!
Awesome scent, great performer. Sad to see it go.
