    Nobody knows for sure. Most are quoting what they have read on forums, as most of us change products so much. That there is no way of really knowing. Now.... @PanChango might be more accurate. I believe I read he uses one product at a time until it ends. I don't know if he keeps track how long it takes.

    Hahaha that's awesome! I would love to know.

    You could use other stuff. What matters is that you keep your count. You don't have to have the results ASAP. Or maybe you do hahaha

    :rofl:Keep in mind that if you are reading it on the forums, it's cause one of us wrote it!:eatdrink047:

    Glad you are doing this, it takes some dedications, but it's kind of fun to see the numbers rolling in.

    I have been using one puck at a time for over three years now and do track my usage rates - which is simple enough when you only use one puck at a time. I'm interested to see what numbers you get. I last used Tabac over 2 years ago, but have another puck in the lineup about 6 soaps from now (currently on DR Harris Marlborough, then Proraso Soap Sandalwood, then Stirling Sandalwood, then Queen Charlotte Soaps Esquire, then Mitchell's Wool Fat, then Tabac). The last time I used Tabac I think I was too gentle with it, I ended up using only 0.72 grams per shave. I think it is quite possible to use as little as 0.3 grams per shave and think that somewhere between 1 and 1.5 grams per shave would be a sweet spot. Anything over 2 grams per shave would be impressive with Tabac!

    20-30 shaves out of mine and I can barely tell if it's been used.
