That was one of my more satisfying kills if the last several years.I am a bit desperate for kills... so I am happy to say that a 400ml bottle of Floid Blue is fully consumed after 882 shaves (today). I like it quite a bit... too bad I can't seem to find it anymore. My efforts against a Vitos brick continue and I hope that it doesn't secretly grow during the night when nobody is looking.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I shave for today; I try to forget about yesterday and not think about tomorrow. It also helps to use a soap I enjoy. I think that's the only way I've been able to get through the last 209 daily shaves with the same soap.So I’m not 3017ing my whole collection of soaps and creams, but I thought I’d use one sample until it was gone. Small steps, right? WCS advertises the samples should last about four shaves. I got 11 shaves out of it. At five or six shaves, I started wondering how long it was going to last. I started to wonder how do these guys (that’s you) do it? Use only one thing until it’s gone?
Of course, this is a new question I can ask. That’s exactly what I did for 10 years. Buy a soap, use it until it’s gone then buy another. (I also had only one brush.) Last year and this year, I bought a bunch of soaps/creams including some samples (and brushes), and it seems now that I have this variety, I want to change things up. Using this sample alone, made it clear to me how used to variety I’ve become. I don’t think that’s a good thing.

Indeed. I bought it about 10 years ago in a Crabtree & Evelyn store in Victoria, BC. Started 3017-ing it earlier this year. So many soaps, so little time!I take it that was the good old stuff, @Saltchuck ?
My oldest soap is an MWF that will be 4 next May though I hope to 3017 it before thenIndeed. I bought it about 10 years ago in a Crabtree & Evelyn store in Victoria, BC. Started 3017-ing it earlier this year. So many soaps, so little time!
I agree with stubborn aftershave. If I use 5ml of a 100ml bottle for ever shave, it should be done in 20 shaves right? But a bottle just goes on and on!Still rolling along with MdC. I was going to weigh it but, who am I kidding, I have months left to go. Maybe when the bottom of the jar peeks through I'll drop it on a scale. That should be....oh....2 or 3 years. Its all good though. I suspect MdC will be one of those rare products that once the 3017 is completed I'll miss it for a while.
On a side note, I should have a kill to report soon. Its not a 3017 but, I'll take any kill I can get right now. Several years ago I picked up a small bottle of Proraso Green A/S to use as a summer splash. I figured it'd be done come Autumn. I even added some extra menthol to give it an extra cooling kick. Its good stuff, but gosh am I ready to move on to something else. Is it just me or does it seem like aftershaves last forever?
