    Info:

    An Arko stick is 75g for about 150 shaves. This stick is 50g.

    Guesses on how long?

    Wasn't 258 shaves the number you got with the Arko? Or am I off on that?

    Good luck on the experiment! I'll watch with interest.

    You just answered my question.

    I'll estimate you'll get 120 shaves with the Palmolive.

    This soap seems to dissolve a bit faster than Arko when applying. The skin feel is really good. Very barbershop smell.

    That's a great shave stick. I'll guess 94 shaves out of it.

    Considering what Chris says about it dissolving faster, and Perry has experience with it I'm sure he's closer to the number of shaves. But for the sake of competitiveness, I'll stay with 120 shaves. I'm in this for the knowledge. :eatdrink047:

    You're probably closer than I'll be! Chris seems to be able to use these shave sticks in a miserly fashion. ;) My prediction is probably way off.

    Same rules- two passes and tuxedo?
    At two passes, I'll say 99 days of awesomeness.

    @Bama Samurai, do you mind if I play along some? I'll post in here when I use the Palmolive.
