Thread: soap eulogy

wanted to take a moment to stop in and let you all know that it IS POSSIBLE. yes, you heard it correctly. YOU CAN FINISH OFF A SOAP!!!

i have 11 soaps (used to be 12 ) sitting in my bathroom cabinet. soap choice for the shave one of the best parts of my routine. to pick a scent to matches my mood, or better yet sometimes a scent that takes me to a mood i wish i was in. obviously some work a tad better then others and there are scents i like a smidgen more then the one next to it...however they all get used.


last night i had my final use of my QED - Grapefruit n Peppermint soap. it has served me superbly through the months and i will miss it dearly. its was a aromatic and gentle soul with lather so thick and creamly i had dreams about it.

chin up gents. surely he will return again someday!

That is the saddest story i have heard

Damm, the only soap I am close to finishing up is my Taylor of OBS sandalwood. It also has been a great soap to use.

How long did it take to finish one? The only pucks I've ever finished are how ever many Williams I went through in the 15 yrs prior to joining here and SRP.

Love the avatar. When I need a smile I can always go to www.ihasabucket.com
It never fails.

i'm trying to get rid of my current soaps to make room for some soaps from TGQ, maybe some Tabac and Mama Bear.

I just finished up My Tub of Taylor of OBS St James shaving cream. Damm I loved that stuff. I guess I will have to shell out some bucks for some more.

I have two soaps I'm nearing the ends of.

1. Williams. First puck I ever bought. Still smells lemony. I lather that one in the cup, then rinse out the cup, much faster usage than other soaps where I just get a bit on the bristles and lather on my face.

2. Burt's Bees Bay Rum. Finished it quickly because I don't like it as a shave soap, it spent its short lifespan as a shower soap.

edit: speaking of sandalwood, it will be my next used up puck, damned I love that stuff (Art of Shaving).

WTG!

I have never finished a soap shaving. Giving away, using as a bath soap, and yes - throwing away, but not by actual shaving use

Cheers

I'm waiting for my bayrum soap from KKcogle to run out so I can try another soap from my small soap mountain. I already have 3 mugs of soap in rotation and refuse to start another until one of my soaps runs out. I've been waiting for a week now. 3 lavish applications of lather every morning and bayrum is still holding up strong...DAMN YOU BAYRUM, WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!

PS: There's nothing wrong at all with my bayrum soap, it's great smelling but I really just wanna have 2 mugs and my scuttle in rotation. But my bayrum just sits there smugly in it's mug...grinning at me asking, "Soo, when is the next shave gonna be?".

I love Bay Rum, it's just the Burt's Bees in particular I don't care for.
I don't feel it makes a very good lather. Also feels like it has some exfoliating grit in it which I see no use for.
