    10 shaves on a half ounce, im not too far off in my estimation. I bet with the way I load I could get 15. I wish i knew about samples when I first started. I would have rather had the variety instead of buying a hand full of full size pucks. Of course now I am quite happy with my rotation and have enough soap to last a couple of years at least.

    Tomorrow I'm planning to try Twisted Tweed for the first time. I have it in a full tub. I'll come back to Cavendish over the weekend. Once Cavendish is finished I am thinking of moving to the Retro Spice sample.

    thanks..Brian, right? That's interesting. I probably will go for the whole shootin' match, but the 8-10 is good to know.

    Perry, you'd be interested in this-my phone just rang, said "Auburn U., Alabama" on the phone ID. I don't know anyone from there so I just let those go. I'm sad to say I fell for a couple such calls in the past and ended up being suckered.

    The Roll Tide in me appreciates that you let that call go! ;)

    it was the first "call" I ever received from a college campus. Well, not including the one I got from my alma mater, saying they accepted me :).

    Yes, it's Brian. I have tried all of the Route 66 soaps and my first is still my favorite. Love the Sweeney Todd.

    Razor: Gillette Aristocrat 1947 (Birth year razor)
    Blade: Feather Platinum (5)
    Brush: Fendrihen Silvertip Black Faux Ebony Handle
    Soap: Route 66 Lavender Wood
    Aftershave: Folsom Capri

    The Route 66 Lavender Woods is a deep woods cedar, crushed Pine tips and hints of unmistakable wild English Lavender energized to create a soothing, woodsy, masculine scent. Excellent soap.
    Tonight's shave was without any problems at all. Did 4 passes ATG in both direction for a very near BBS. Folsom Capri is a top 5 aftershaves in my books.
    Canada and the U.S.A. play tonight for the World Junior Championship. This is probable the best hockey you will ever see. Good luck to both teams.

    Another fantastic automatic near BBS 2 pass shave this morning. This Timeless OC is a very efficient razor while still being a very smooth shaver. I finished off the shave with the last of the Floid Black AS sample. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    We are just not equipped to handle snow here. People are already going crazy and it's still 12 hours plus away.

    Very nicely scented soap, it is a close second to Sweeney Todd.
