Soaps you use sparingly, for when they're gone…

[Dog Whiskerer]

...They are gone!

I understand the concept of 3017'ing a soap. I've done it. What about the ones you pull out rarely or on special occasions? The Old Spice, I haven't even used, which is stupid. If I was going to sell it, I would have sold it. To not shave with it is a waste and I'm cheating myself out of the experience. Strop Shoppe is gone; yes I want the soap to last forever. But that's stupid too.

Anyone else hanging on to a favorite soap?

I have a habit of using first the products which I like the least, so most of the time I use an aftershave or soap that I do not especially care for while my favourites sit on the shelf. Madness. That said, I use my vintage Yardley, Cedarwood, and Old Spice soaps rarely as they seem like more of a treat that way. I very rarely use my Fabergé Brut shaving soap because I have never seen another.

Irisch Moos, original P.160 Tipo Duro, Klar Kabinett, and Safari by Ralph Lauren are special occasion soaps in my den.

Sir Irisch Moos (and it is almost gone)!!

Soap: Razorock Lavender, nice masculine scent, excellent lather qualities! Razorock discontinued it for the lack of sales .
I used almost 2 tubs up and 1 in the freezer vacuum sealed.

Have some great shaves!

Same here, gotta use the Kraken sparingly. I love the scent so much though.

I wish they would make a limited edition batch. Or sell the scent to another soapmaker.

Arko stick. I seldom use it; I know I will not replace it when it is gone.

I miss this stuff

 

[SharpieB]

B&M Paganini’s Violin. They will likely make more in the future but I have about a puck and a half left and just love the stuff.

So much! And not just the scent; it was a top-tier performer for me.

I am still holding out hope for this. Stirling would be my choice, they would make a great partner I think

Stirling would be great. If it was Mike's I'd buy as many as I could!

Here's my list of "out of production" soaps. They will be 3017'd when their turn comes up, except for the P.160. That one will be divided into a few 3017 blocks; I've already done the "3017 a kilo of P.160" thing once before and that took a few years.

- Art of Shaving Lemon (old formula)
- Honeybee's Bamboo Teak
- Honeybee's Oakmoss
- P.160 Tipo Duro
- Saint Charles Shave Fairway
- Soapy Bathman Tropical Lime <------Currently being 3017'd

I have the same habit with my tools. I always figure that if I have duplicates and have to store one, I shouldn't use up valuable storage space storing crap, and if I lose or wear out a tool I'd rather it be the crappy one. The result is that I'm normally using my crappiest tools.

Murphy & McNeil Nantahala (Kodiak). Don’t think this will ever be back in Kodiak.

 

[FL shaver]

About 5 shaves missing from each of these fantastic soaps. I also have a couple of tallow AOS Lemon pucks and a puck of Old Spice which I will eventually use daily when it is their 3017 turn, but Manantiales and the Musgo stick will be used only occasionally.
