Although I think the jar is cool, I skipped it because SWMBO has been taking pottery classes and is eager to keep me supplied in shaving soap containers. For $20, she can make a bunch of cool containers, albeit without the old-fashioned MWF script on top.

Obie, I too share in this paranoia. That's why I bought another MdC with the group buy a few weeks back. At the rate I'm using the jar I bought in Paris, I should finish it off a day or two before I shuffle off this mortal coil. But then, who knows, science may find the key to aging, and then where would I be? What if MdC goes out of business????? All sorts of horrors are imaginable. I'd better start hoarding MWF too - time to make another order!

James,

Yes, the cost-per-shave basis is the best way to make financial comparisons. How can I argue with you? You're Mr. Fancypants University Statistician. However, my I be so bold as to point out that statistics, cost analysis, and the like are highly logical disciplines. Many of the gentlemen in this straight shaving community have to deal with their SWMBO's, and, well, quite frankly, as we all know, in these situations logic simply doesn't apply. (Of course, dear, I'm not talking about you if you're reading this. I'm talking about OTHER women!)

James, we all know you're "off", but that's another topic for another thread...

See above. I'm already beginning the hoarding process. When MdC and/or Mitchell's go out of business, you'll be glad that Obie and I like you

I wondered why she's been smelling like MWF lately. Consider this "Strike One". Two more, and you're off the Post-Apocalypse MdC & MWF I'm-Sharing-With-My-Best-Buddies list.
