I thought had about 15 yrs worth of soaps and 20 yrs worth of Aftershaves and Colognes. Now I'm thinking closer to 20 to 22 yrs on the soaps and 30 yrs on the A/S. I'm about to turn 70, so yeah I've reached a certain point. Give me your numbers if you dare.

About 40 different soaps on average 50g so that is 2000g or 2000 shaves approx 6 years if I do not buy or get more which is unlikely
Blades sufficient and since I am not a big as lover that could take longer.

My guesstimates are about 10 years on the soap, 6 for blades, maybe 3-5 on the aftershaves/balms
About to turn 75 , so how do I figure 60 years of shaving? Thats allot of soaps, blades and AS

Good thing I’m no math major. Otherwise this type of calculation would make me a little nauseous 
Pushin' 60. 
That's better than pullin' 59.
I have two soaps. One is Yardley Almond, really a body soap but it's got good slickness and I like it. The other is my own soap (OH Puck!) and it's time to make another batch.
Blades: I use Kai Mild Pink in some of my straights; I think I have about 10 left. Should buy some more. I use Astra SP in slants and some of my straights. I have an unopened box of 100 but I will open it soon. I use Personna Stainless PTFE Coated Gem blades. I think I have about 20 left. Looks like it's time to stock up on blades!
It's taken me about a year and a half to get through a bottle of Nivea Men Sensitive Skin Aftershave Balm, and I've got a reserve bottle under the sink. I'm good for now.
O.H.

I'm 27 so this gives me more reason to buy more! [emoji1787]

I have no children. I have only nieces (they are *awesome* so that's not the complaint) and their husbands/boyfriends/etc are all bearded weirdos to the man (I say that affectionately). Clearly I'm going to need an estate plan to organize a posthumous PIF.

Remember to forget me!
10 (ish) year stockpile of new and unused soaps
20 (ish) year stockpile of DE blades
1 year's worth of aftershave
2 years worth of balms and moisturisers
A few spare zamak parts for Jagger and Merkur razors
EdT I have no idea with, really. I only have three bottles, but in three years, I've maybe got 60% down one bottle, and only had a few squirts of the other two. What's that work out at? 15 years?

I remember laughing when people talked of YEARS supply of things when I first started hanging out here.
But I've got 13 soaps - none of which are hardly dented from use (and I think one or two more in the mail) so I'd say I have several years of soaps now
And I think my blades are up to a 10 year supply
LOL. But I'll never be bored shaving again!

...but this one IS cracked.
I have 26 soaps and creams, including duplicates, if I get through 5 soaps a year that will be about 5 years of soap. I also have about 450 blades. I get at least 7 shaves from most blades (and a lot more from some) so that's more than 8 and a half years of blades.
I really need to head over to the 3017 thread.

I think we accumulate stuff such that we have enough at any point in time to shave every day back in time until we started shaving as teenagers. So if you are 75, you should have about 55-60 years worth of stuff, or you aren't holding up your end.
7 soaps. Each lasts about 3 months of daily use with heavy loading. On average they are about half full.
About a years worth I’d say.

That 1K of Dorco Primes (13.7 yrs. @6 shaves per) is going faster, as I keep giving 100-packs away. Yet those aren't the only blades, so. Maybe 15 yrs.

Fairly certain I have enough blades, soap, and AS (I had a major score of some vintage Avon about a year ago) that I think it will all last until I retire, which I'm planning to do almost exactly 18 years from now.
I’ve got about an 80 year stockpile of blades, about 3 years of soap and I will be 69 on March 10. @Chandu I guess I’ve held up my end on the blades, but I better get busy buying more soap.
If I’m reincarnated as another human or most any mammal then I‘ll break even if I work the canned foams (two Nivea, half an Aveeno) back into the rotation. Otherwise, I’ll be a fuzzy capybara towards the second end.
I can see myself writing a similar post one day. I've bought way too many soaps and aftershaves over the last two years.
