Soap Of The Month Club (SOTMC)

I'm in for October
Soap: Noble Otter Barrbarr
Attempts: 7
Completions: 6
Consecutive Months: 1
Months Skipped: 1
Fails: 0

It has been great to go through SOTMC as well as the 2019 Purchase Sabbatical. Seeing how long soaps last has made it easy to not by soaps. I have been getting great shaves with my Barrbarr, however, it seems to be disappearing much faster than my WCS Formula-T soap. Looking forward to another month with it. I will either finish sometime this month or switch to B&M First snow for November.

Used the last of my Jerry Stark, Vegan Orange and Vanilla today and will finish the month with Arko as planned.

I'm sorry gentlemen for the late post.

Late? I believe to official rules state from the 1st through the 3rd. If anything you are the most punctual of all of us.

That said, I had a rather short NOvember (Noble Otter-vember) in that I already finished my NO Barrbarr. Time to move on to my B&M First Snow.

NO vember I like it. We'll have to remember it for next year. My November is already spoken for this year.

One more time I forget to read the manual...

Nice theme for November.

Sorry guys - I have been out of commission for a while. Back in the saddle now...

November 2019
Soap: Mondial Tobacco Verde
Attempts: 46
( DR Harris Arlington, B&M Fougere Aromatique, Blades Grim Smolder, SCS Soap for Hope, WSO Coconut Lime, Czech and Speake Oxford & Cambridge, Valobra Fougere, LASS Hollywood Romance, Floris Verbena Stick, Estoril Shave Cream, DR Harris Arlington, Mitchell Wool Fat, Valobra Regular, DR Harris Arlington, Mondial Tobacco Verde )
Completions: 45
Fails: 0

Consecutive month:0

The Mondial is a fine long lasting soap. I have a silver dollar sized clear spot in the bottom of the container, so the end is in sight! Have to admit the number of shaves a week has dropped to 2-3, so it will probably last a bit longer. This is the first soap that I have a strong pull to ordering another container!

Here’s what’s left of the Mondial...

 

[bluesman 7]

Just a day or two left on my D. R. Harris Marlborough. It has been a great soap. I get a lightly floral ceder scent. No hint of smoke at all. I would grade this even with the Arlington that I tried. Both of them great!

I will be finishing the month with CBL Tonsorial 'Roasted Oatmeal Stout'.

 

[bluesman 7]

I finished the D.R.Harris on the sixteenth and ave been getting along great with the CBL Tonsorial.

This is my first time with the SOTMC. I have several soaps that I've started but didn't finish. I stumbled upon this club a few days ago and I think this will be a great way to work through my soaps one month at a time.

I bought the Parker soap almost two years ago and I have about 44 grams remaining. If it doesn't make it to the end of the month, I'll finish with some Cella. A great way to end the year.
