Ask me about shaving naked!
I’m close to the numbers poated, but also keep in mind that the brush makes a difference.
0.5g hard milled soap
1.0 - 1.5 for croap
0.5 - 1.5 or more for creams, they’re all over the place.
Usually MdC for me is about 0.5 - 1.0g depending on the brush, I averaged 1.4g over 9 months but was exclusively using a Chubby Super.
Acqua di Parma v3 (the latest yellow tub version) I can do well with around 1/2g with a moderate brush, as I can Castle Forbes. Proraso takes at least 3x as much. That;s why there are many mentions that one can shave with Castle Forbes for about a 1/2 cent per shave more than Proraso - it’s much more concentrated. The higher end products, soaps, creams, or fragrances also rend to be much more concentrated than their drug store counterparts, so cost per milliliter is not an especially valuable comparison.
