Thread: How long could you go?

Sevarel years no prob.

maintaining a 3 shave per week routine I would say about

3 creams = 2+ years maybe
5 soaps = 4+ years maybe
strops, rocks & oxides should last at least a couple hundred years if I get my honing down pat & get all straights perfect & in rotation,
they would be looking coming up for use about twice a year
with the average age of my current straights already well over 100 years old each
I f I got another 100 plus out of each of them I would take a guess at about at least 7000 years worth of metal to go
Damn looking at it like that I might have to do Kull also LOL

I could go indefinitely with everything but the shaving soap/cream. I am running low on that....but Christmas is close

In order to be accurate it would require me to actually take inventory, and I refuse. Balms and aftershaves about two years, soaps and creams I would think over five. That is of course not including soap that I have that I don't like to shave with that are awaiting their turn in the shower.

Inventory??? Yeah keeping 5 ok maybe 10. Look for the rest in the giveaway section. Call it research and development of my preference. Watermelon that smells like bubble gum isnt my thing. But it sounded good at the time. Call it Box of Sh*t. Newbie learning, Mixed and melted Tallows and Glycerines , Yeah that didnt work so well for me, Now its stuck in a Water Buffalo horn Bowl.Each time I heat it in water the bowl deforms into a new shape. Real genius I am.

I am around ten years shaving everyday with no skimping on the lather. Some i have I don't like but are in the drawer. My problem , it seems, is that when I want to try some new cream or soap I have to buy to other flavors with it because they look inviting.

I would be more worried my hones won't make it 😳

An easy 3 years,,,,,,

Without being moribund it can last as long as I last. (and I ain't planning on going anywhere any time soon)

I could probably last with my current stash about 10+ years If worse came to worse like an apocalypse, which is the only way I see the world running out of products, I probably wouldn't even have time to shave. I would be too busy rustlin' for supplies, weapons and food while roaming the land. That's just my opinion lol.
