Thread: How long does soap last?

And the soap lasts a long time, even if you use it. I'm still using a small chunk of tabac that Slartibartfast sent me probably 3 months ago by now. It doesn't seem to want to be used up!

Ha!
Yes, with an attorney in the thread, we'd all better use precise language!

At MN meetup two years ago ChrisL cut out a small bit of soap from my puck. Even though I used the soap daily for at least a year after that, I can still see the notch he left when he cut it. Tabac does seem to last longer than most soaps even with the way I use it.

As others pointed out, it depends on how often you use it, how much you load onto the brush, etc.

Come on guys, 4-5 months to use up a puck? What are you doing, eating the stuff?

My soaps all seem barley dished, including some TOBS that I picked up nearly two years ago. My puck of Tabac is not dished at all, and I bought that in May '09......

Does anyone know where one could procure a tub (with soap puck) in the uk? The only place I have seen is amazon.

I'm not too sure of your terminology, but I presume you mean a "soap bowl with soap". If that is what you mean, there are a number of places in the UK. The best bet would be to Google it as there are too many companies to put on here.

Agree, Google is your best bet

I got a year out of my last puck of MWF. I used it nearly everyday and really loaded the brush up.
Creams give me about two to three months when used exclusively.

Here's a great place in Yorkshire, posted by another member...
Wingham Wool Work - Quality Fibres and Accessories

The MWF Bath Soap is great stuff too....

Since I started wet shaving I have consumed 1 tube of Speick, 1 tube of EJ seabuckthorn cream, 0.5 small puck of Col Conk Almond, and I've made a noticeable dent in a tub of Proraso I've had for 2 years.

I shave about 3 times a week. I always generate more lather than absolutely needed.
