    There is a good reason we call some of the things we do an "addiction". Soap seems to be my downfall.
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    On aftershave balm, I'm toast.


    11-1/2 sticks of Arko, some Mama Bear sticks, and some samples will go on near forever. My stones will keep my four SRs going to the third generation, and if I don't slice my one good strop I'm okay there.

    But I'm toast on aftershave balm. Serves me right to procrastinate buying!

    Aftershave will probably last 6 months to a year, cologne will last several years, i used half of one bottle in a year, i now have 2 bottles.
    soaps will last ages, i have a 850ml tub at work that is 2/3 full of assorted scragg ends of soaps, a tube of omega cream, not to mention the tub of mixed leftover creams, i also have 1/2 bottle of nivea balm and about 150ml of glycerin there.
    At home I have a puck of Williams (unused), 3/4 puck of trumpers eucris (not impressive - will probably go in the work soap mess when it starts depleating), 3/4 puck of boots soap, 1/4 jar of MDC (nice but won't get replaced) most of a bowl of omega and a couple of cream samples, so i would guess at least a few years.

    Probably quite a while. I've got a tub of Klar soap that I've used many times and it still looks like I haven't touched it!

    Before finding SRP, I already had been using a brush and puck for well over 20 years. Each puck of soap has lasted 5 to 7 years so I only bought them one at a time. Since Finding SRP I keep having to try some other soap so I have bought several pucks. Attending at least 15 meet-ups has also upped my puck count significantly--despite often giving them away. Finally, I fell for P160 a few years ago and stockpiled 3 1kg bricks in the fridge. That's 6.6 pounds, of which probably 6.2 pounds remain.

    I have a pretty good stock of aftershaves, and go through them slowly, plus I make my own.

    Let's just say that razors, hones, strops, and brushes won't be the limiting factors either.

    I guess could probably get by for 200 years if the stem cells can hold out that long.
