My second visit of the year marks the end of a tube of Old Spice Lime Cream. As I am participating in the sabbatical, I won't be replacing it this year. I really like it and my only concern is that it contains parabens.

Finished a grated stick of La Toja about a week ago. Will definitely replace after i do some damage to my other soaps.
TOBS Sandalwood cream any day now! Who wants pictures of the "corpse"?

Finished a tube of Proraso red today. It has been my go to for the last 3 months or so. It will be replaced next year when the 2014 sabbatical ends. Next victim is a LEA stick.
Don't like it half as much as my liz earle but I've another bottle because as far as value for money is concerned this knocks the socks of £18 100ml liz earle.
No pic but..... a bottle of Thayer's Unscented Witch Hazel.

This morning I laid to rest my first stick of Arko. I bought it almost three years ago from a T-shop in Istanbul, for one shiny Turkish lire. At the time that was a little less than 1/2 USD. My accounting for the early shaves was spotty, but I figure it lasted about 90 shaves total: not bad for 50 cents.
Since then I have stocked up on Arko whenever a good deal comes along, so I have many more in reserve. I like the scent, and the performance is great as long as I make sure to work in enough water.

I just completed a shave soap from Bath House Spanish Fig & Nutmeg last week. I have to say they can be rather hard to build a lather sometimes.
And in general, i feel it gets harder to lather up when the soap is nearly depleted, with tiny bits of soap bits here and there.

Trumpers Sandlewood Skin Food (will not replace)
Just finished a bottle of AV Ice Blue. Lucky I had a spare. This will be the first bottle of store-bought A/S I have finished in almost 6 years. I had been using straight rubbing alcohol and a couple homebrewed splashes until about two months ago. I've got a molded puck of Speick (started as 1 1/2 grated and pressed sticks) that's on it's last legs, and my Yeti Snot is looking pretty thin. That old VDH boar puts a hurting on soaps!
A bottle of Thayers original. I have a replacement in stock from last year so I have continuity. I notice, however, that the price label on the old bottle reads $12.75 and on the newer stock, $14.99.
I have been using a tube of Godrej Menthol Mist for various reasons over the past several months. Performance-wise, it's pretty good but nothing special...I would purchase another tube only because the cream makes a wonderful superlather partner by providing a freezing menthol component.
For the past month, it had been relegated to sacrificial test lathers to speed up the break-in process of my RazoRock "Amici" brush.

TFS Mandarine e Spezie refill
Finished up a regular sized puck of Czech & Speake 88 soap, and thank goodness I have a refill ready to go.
Tub of Razorock Chianti Lavender shave soap
Another puck of SCS has gone on to the great gig in the sky. I am not in acquisition mode and I already have a dozen-ish pucks if SCS remaining in the den so I will not replace this soap at this time. Still, I love Wendy's soaps and should I ever get close to depleting my SCS stock I will most definitely purchase more.
Killed a Tabac Stick, replaced with a puck that i got last year pre-sabatical.
Ha! I will be shaving for years with the stuff I have now...
Forgot to claim a puck of Classic Shaving Peppermint Stick soap. Won't see it in my bathroom again.
