TOOBS Sample Creams - How many shaves per sample?

[Mouette]

Last Christmas my partner bought me one of those sample sets of Taylors of Old Bond Street shaving creams. I think there were about 14 different creams all up and have used about three quarters of them by now. I quite like more than a few of them, Jermyn St, St James, Sandalwood, and of course there are a few I don't like such as the Peppermint and grapefruit.

I have been getting 4, 5 and sometimes 6 shaves out of a sample and thought this was normal. But watching a couple of the Youtube shavers I notice they take a huge scoop out of the tub of whatever cream they are using that episode. It got me thinking, if I did that with the sample, I would only get two shaves from the tub, maybe even one!

I am not a miser by any stretch of the imagination, and I thought I had been getting pretty good lathers from the amounts I have been using - including the big tubs of other creams in my stash.

How many shaves do others get from these wee samples?

cheers
Andrew

between 4-7 depending on what I feel like. I don't need too much product.

With creams, I tend to use about 1ml per shave. Occasionally a little less, depending on the product.

I get about 3 to 4 per sample. YMMV

 

[crazy shavers]

with a sample of 10-11ml about 7-8 shaves, placing a small amount each time on the brush with face leathering!

Sir Mouette, congrats on a nice gift from your partner!!
My experience, about 4 shaves per sample!
I probably could have pushed it to 5 or 6.
Enjoyed them all!!

This is good to know. I have been eyeing off this sampler set for a little while. Now I have an idea on how many shaves I can get out of the whole sampler set.
