    This soap'll be done this week.
    The quantity is deceiving. 5.0 FL OZ...come on man!
    I'll bet there's only 75g of product.

    Happy Tuesday everyone. Another fantastic shave to start the day. I absolutely love MdC shave soaps. I always seem to get great shaves when I use it. Take care and have a great day. ​

    I have yet to measure gram-wise how much soap I use....I just want it to make the brush look like an ice-cream cone.

    I am seeing the progress as well. I have used roughly 34 grams of soap in 10 shaves. If I can maintain or increase that average, this 3017 will go by like all the rest

    A lot better than I've been able to do in 8 years of being here(finishing a soap, that is).

    It may well not be but the bicyclist from Kentucky envited me to join, claiming that he's seen my shave lineup in here many times.anyway.I just do the best I can with the soaps-they're such a challenge to finish.

    Pick a soap. Use it everyday until it's gone. That simple.

    Well, that's one thing with me-I'm a variety freak with soaps. What you day SOUNDS simple, but hard for me to adjust to.

    It's not for everyone. I have no problem using the same soap or razor. Brushes? that's another story! :)

    Impossible for 99% of wet-shavers. You're not alone.
    Those of us who 3017 soaps on this thread are rare breeds. We're uber-focussed and relish a challenge. In other words---the upper echelon of shavers. :rofl:

    For me, it'a a different brush every day(course except when I shave with lovely goo). Too moist to try two days in a row.
