    Having just finished off a jar of Prorasos crema de barba preshave cream and realizing it it was only the third or fourth product Ive ever finished off, I was curious to hear your thoughts on either replacing the product or wishing it good riddance? In my case I will be looking to replace both the preshave cream and the Schick injector blades shown.

    One or two more shave on a puck of B&M Latha and I will not be purchasing again. The scent really did not appeal to me.

    I haven't finished anything in a long time, but I am getting down to the end of my Col. Conk Bay Rum and my Taylors of Old Bond Street Lavender. It may take a while because I am rotating through 20 soaps and creams. I am thinking when January gets here, I will take the soaps and creams that are lowest and just use one until it is gone and move on to the next.

    When I read the title, I thought, "Yeah, I just finished my #25 wild cherry WD synthetic brush."

    Last things I finished was a third puck of Williams 4 years ago and a pack of Schick injector blades. I have 3 more pucks of Williams and ordered a new pack of blades while I still had 4 left.

    Recently finished my second tub on ToB Eton, a ToB Mr Taylor's, very close on a tub of T&H Grafton and B&M Seville. I have already replenished all but the ToB Mr. Taylor's.

    I just polished off a tub of TSD Iced Signature Scent soap. I really liked the performance, was of lather and slickness. Didn't like the bay rum scent. Definitely will get another TSD soap.

    I am back to resurrect your thread, @Hodge . I have been at this wet shaving thing since 2011 and I have only completed two products. Musco Real was my first nice SC, and I finished it in the first year, but I have not replaced it. I have been adding other new creams/soaps (up to 20 now). I have also completed a VDH Deluxe which I have replaced. I am still working on others. I traded my Proraso Sandalwood after using about 1/4 of it: haven't replaced. My Shave Gear Sabbatical has helped to slow things down this year. I have been rotating through all 20 of my soaps/creams, so it would take years to finish them all off. I am beginning to see the bottom of a couple, but it will still be months before I finish one. The NoVember No Variation has me working on Tabac, and I am loving that. Maybe in December I will pick one to work on finishing. We shall see.

    I actually finished off a large Ogallala Bay Rum bottle. It only took about 18 months. No worries, I have 2 small and 1 more large bottle in reserve. I hope to finish the small bottle of Limes and Peppercorns this month as well.

    Tsd almond sample. Now I'm on tsd winter pagoda with iced a/s.
    7 more tsd samples with a/s after this one,suppose that should qualify as 30 day focus. Should be 2-3 months to work through all of them even with four pass shaves every night and lather left over.
    I like this soap, very protective, great cushion and slick with soap on. Was drawn to this line cause I like full sets. Soap, a/s plus calogne to reminnisce throughout the day.

    3 tubes of C.O. Bigelow, and today I finished a sample of Barrister and Mann Lavanille. I am very, very sad.

    I'm about to finish off a bottle of Nivia sensitive post shave balm. I'm trying not to get more of anything until I can try what's in the box tour box. I might find something I like way better once I have the opportunity to try more. I'll amazon wish list anything I find nice in the box for after I can find a new job.
