    If I were a betting penguin, I'd place heavy odds on "no."

    I have a 60g RazoRock alum stick I bought 6-7 years ago that would have been gone a while ago if I used it every day.

    I won the No Buy July PIF in August of 2014. It had a new OSMA Alum block in world class paper case. It was my first time to use alum, and I have been using it ever since. My block is getting thin, but I will use it until it breaks. I have bought a replacement for it, but I anticipate this one will eventually break before I finish it. Maybe I will even use it after it breaks. HA!

    Does that make you an alumnus? And if I agreed with you, which would indeed be a rarity, would we then be alumni? :scared011:

    I've used one to the point where I couldn't really hold it any longer, that's about as close as I've gotten to completely used up.

    Oddly enough, yes and no.

    I had one, my very first, that I almost used up (before dropping/breaking it). I used it every day and on the whole face = extensive use.

    But the one that replaced it almost looks complete still, even though it's been used much also. I don't see it gone the next ten years with that use...

    Had I not dropped the first one, it would have been used up. But this second one, I don't see it coming soon. Both have and are stored the same way - open bowl.

    I thought I was the only one who dropped and broke theirs.

    I only use mine to slide my fingers across when I need loose skin taut. I expect it will last a very long time. I've had it for over a year and it looks as though it was never used.
