    Nice choices, Ben! I got a set of Stirling Blu that should be delivered today.

    I just finished my Island Man "hand" soap......very nice. Now I have the sample-size Sharp Dressed Man that Mr. Cawtuh put in as part of his generous PIF package. Along with the Island Man is Agar and Xecutive Man(large hand soaps).

    Was that a full sized bar? Seems like you go through hand soap pretty fast. I've been using a sample bar of Sharp Dressed Man in the shower for about two weeks now. If I only used it to wash my hands I bet a full size bar of soap would last me close to 6 months.

    Right, the Island Man(+Agar and Xecutive)are full-sized soaps that JUST fit into my soap thingy at my sink. I'm getting confused with who sent my hand-soaps these days! I just now remembered Doc Ezlovan flipped in a Spice with my order of 3 full-sized.

    I've been using a full sized bar of Stirling preshave soap with every shave since May of last year. I'm guessing another month or two left on it.

    I've been using my bar of Pre-Shave Soap since March last year, and I still have at least a third of the bar left.

    Long lasting for sure. I think I've shaved every day but two since I've had mine.

    I don't get much longevity from the bar soaps. One of the samples lasts me about three or four showers. The full size bars last longer but I can't get the crazy length some of you do with the bath soaps. They're amazing though.

    The preshave soap I have lasts forever, but you're not using much of it each day.

    I'm excited about these Perry. I'm a big fan of Polo Blue and these have been on my radar for a while. Once I got the email from Rod I knew I needed to jump on it. It's also hot as hell here in Phoenix right now and the mentholated bath soaps will really be a treat.

    The hard part was deciding what to get rid of the make room for the Blu set. I'm forcing myself to keep my den to only 15 sets. It was a tough choice but in the end I decided that the Nuavia Verde has to go.

    Perhaps a soap saver would help? Maybe the lack of atmospheric humidity here helps them last longer because they firm up a little more and aren't as soft?

    I admire your drive to keep just 15 sets. I should do that! My Blu set arrived and it smells great. Not too strong off the puck. Haven’t sniffed the splash yet.

    My first Stirling bath soap (Naked & Smooth) lasted less than a month. Now I'm using the "Facial" bar soap in the shower, but lathering it with a pouf instead of directly on my body and it seems to be lasting longer

    Naked&Smooth has received its second nomination for a Tony(once last year, too), both as a shave soap.

    Is tougher than it sounds. I originally wanted to get down to 10 but that was impossible. The good about it is that 15 gives a good variety and I'm only using my absolute favorites. The bad is that I had to set aside a bunch of great stuff. The worst part is if I want to add a scent I must get rid of a scent. There's a scent dropping Saturday I really want but I can't figure out what to get rid of so I may have to pass....first world problems :)

    I can get a month out of a full size bath soap in the shower.
