Success for March. I'll change it up to something new, I just don't know what. I have a (snow) trip planned, so something in a plastic tub that seals. Maybe I'll dip into a new A&E scent...

Two uses of 1/3-gone B&M Cheshire in the books. Man, do I love that scent, and the performance is top-notch!

Woo hoo!! Its a weird satisifaction using a soap up!!

Definitely. I used to be like that: het s soap and use it till it was finished. I managed to do that for about 6-7 months. Then it turned into the Soap of the Moment Club, SAD kicked in and my TGS soaps sat idle. I want to finish at least three more in April. Should be able to achieve that (and still have plenty of TGS soaps left as well…)

Cheers,

Guido

I'm calling it now: Success in April.

My B&M Cheshire was more "used" than I thought when I started the month. Some soap containers have a convex bottom, so when it looks like you have some left, you're actually really close to breaking through. My soap has a half-dollar-sized hole, but I'll keep using it through May and probably kill it off.

If that happens, I'll move on to my (vintage) Yardley, which I love and have been hoarding. It's due to be put out of its misery, and then I can refinish its wooden bowl for use with other soaps.
