Soap Of The Month Club (SOTMC)
- Thread starter RunFoxRun
- Start date
Finished the sample of La Toja today. It went faster than expected, 14 three pass shaves from a 5mm slice of a stick. I plan on finishing the month with Noble Otter 'Lonestar'.
@bluesman 7 - 14 shaves from a 5mm slice - that is some long lasting soap!!!

...All of my soaps last. It actually went faster than I expected. If it had been a slice of Arko it would have lasted the whole month.

Welcome Sotiris_A
Wow! My soap usage has doubled over the years. I used 10.05 mm of my Arko stick for the month of August.
Thank you @bluesman 7 ! The least amount of soaps I used in rotation for a month was two. It's gonna be a challenge, especially with a strong scented soap like the DG Fourth & Pine, but I need to start reducing the number of soaps I have opened and not finished.

I missed the deadline for August signups but it worked out in my favor as I couldn't hang with the menthol in the Iced Coffee. I switched to the next soap on my list (NO Barrbarr) partway through the month and am getting great shaves now. Looking forward to this month and exploring the soap a little more. There are a few kinks that still need to be worked out as I am not getting quite the consistency I was able to achieve with WSP's Formula T base.

Completed September.
In for October
I'm going to finish off my Jerry Stark 'Vegan Orange and Vanilla' and finish the month with Arko as I'll be traveling. Looks like less than a week to go on Jerry's
