Wow, that's worse than buying a Toyota!My brick of Vitos (extra coco) is about to celebrate two years of daily shaves (on 21 Feb). According to my spreadsheet it is likely to last till its fourth birthday.
I have never tried shaving with a ToyotaWow, that's worse than buying a Toyota!
Finally finished all my samples. Took about a month.
Congrats on the kill Bob!
For me 4 months into DRH Windsor. Have not broken through. A great soap.
Well I didn't quite get round to finishing my Proraso red. I had about one week's worth of shaves left but I've had to stop using wood scented products for my wife. I will use the remainder whilst she is out of the house occasionally! On the plus side it meant I had an excuse to buy some Proraso White pre shave!
For now I have turned my attention to my Edwin Jagger Limes and Pomegranate soap. Smells amazing to me and last time I used a little puck of this it lasted quite a few months... Settling in for the long hall.
First shave went smoothly!

Of the Italian soft soaps, my two favorites, hands down, are Boellis Panama 1924 and Vito’s Red. Two outstanding soaps. With Vito’s a fraction of the price of Boellis, I know which one I’m buying next.
It’s such a punishment to be subjected to months and months of outstanding shaves, isn’t it? I have a partially used puck of Windsor in the den and look forward to breaking it out again.
Looks like only one shave left with Top Secret. Thoroughly enjoyed this cream. Unfortunately, I cannot find it anywhere now. LEA sensitive on deck.
I'm calling this one done..
My 3017 journey so far...
But I got these i November:
Will rotate soaps for a few weeks before deciding what will be my next 3017.
I think Fine Platinum was a very good soap.

‘Twas a good one :-(
I started using the TOBS exclusively. And suprisingly, it doesn't hurt.
I'm calling a kill.
Back in late November I grated 2 pucks of new formula Haslinger Schafmilch and pressed them into a container. During this mornings shave I noted the container is about half depleted. I think I get to declare a kill of 1 puck of Haslinger. I'm now working on the second puck.....or maybe its a blend of the first and second puck.....er.....whatever. One puck down one to go. Just shows the effects of COVID and working from home. Back in the day a puck of Haslinger lasted 40 - 45 days. Now it lasts close to 2.5 months. The next puck should last until late Spring. Then I can slide into a nice Summer soap or cream.
Incidentally, after a couple months of shaving I stand by my earlier claim that new formula Haslinger is excellent. I simply wave a Simpson T3 synthetic at the schafmilch for a few moments and am rewarded with a lather that rivals the top artisans in performance. Good stuff!! Its been a winter of excellent shaves.

Well, it looks like my B&M Hallows is on its last legs so I am going to finish it off. Maybe 4-5 shaves left. This stuff goes quick as it is so soft.
I'd expect to get a month out of that much soap.
It is VERY soft soap. More of a croap. If it was triple milled, it would also last me a month.
How would you tell a new formula Haslinger from an older one?
Its been a couple years since I used tallow Haslinger so Im sure their are some subtle difference. Having said that, in my 5 star rating based on nothing other than it sounds cool, both formulas rate 5 stars. The current schafmilch has been a stellar performer for me.
Yes, very soft. I 3017'nd Hallows in the soft heart base a few months ago. I think it lasted me 3-4 weeks. Mine was really to soft to even call a croap. I hated the scent....literally hated it.....but performance was excellent.
