    When I get close to finishing one up, I just use nothing else for a week or two. I am taking a little breather but I will finish up Route 66 Rum Runner in the next 7-10 shaves. My estimate is Route 66 Lumberjack and Reef Point have somewhere between 14-21 shaves left each. I want to get those finished before starting on some of my other soaps. I have accumulated a lot of citrus and lavender type soaps that I want to enjoy throughout the summer.

    Aftershave: B&M Leviathan

    Another wonderful shave this morning. I decided on this combo because we have a bunch of big shots in today touring our facility and I wanted to make a good impression. The shave was great, I smell good and I'm ready for the day. Have a great day folks!

    I've been doing more water dribbling of late. Due to my rotation, all my soaps get pretty dry waiting for me(I'm sure that's the case with everyone).

    Strange... definitely a YMMV. I'm curious to see how it does as well.

    It's my only B&M soap and AS but I want more. Excellent products and that scent lasts all day.

    Everything clicked today, and left me with a very nice finished product. DFS by a decent margin. Haslinger soap is easily one of the best performers I have ever used. The scents are very light, but it is outstanding soap. It is also easy to throw one in when ordering something from Amazon, so I expect I will probably always have one around. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it.

    Is Haslinger a hard soap ?

    It isn't a triple milled, but it sure isn't soft. I grated it to get it into that bowl.

    The OOPS was because I hit a button that shrunk the letters(or so I thought).
