May Madness - One soap for One month

[Normie]

Have you made your own decision yet @Lifes a Peach?

 

[StueyB]

Won't make the final decision until I shave tomorrow but it will be either MWF or SV 70th anniversary soap for the month of May

Have you made your own decision yet @Lifes a Peach?

Been flipping and flopping between shave sticks from La Toja and Speick.

Speick is now locked in.

Hahahaha! You didn't think I'd say YES would you?!? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

[Hocky27]

I'm going to be weighing the soap so I can keep track of exactly how much is used over the month.

It'll be interesting to see. Good luck to all involved!

I've added in my soap - Mike's Natural Shaving Soap - Barbershop - hoping to finish it this month or close to it It is also a nice fairly neutral base for a range of aftershave choices, got to have some options!

An eclectic collection of soaps being used I see - good luck all

Don't see your name down mate - just keep today's soap and you will be one of the cool kids

Nice as it was (also Mike's Natural soap [emoji6]), I'll probably use a different soap each day... It's just part of what I enjoy about wet shaving; all the different scents and soaps.

Strewth! 4 grams of soap per shave!?! That's ridiculous.
That's 42 shaves and the tub is gone...! No wonder your making clouds of lather.

The Simpson brush seems to suck a lot of lather into it but I do load heavy and of course I do love to lather.

You sure do! Haha. That's one way to get through the soap. And you certainly seem to be having fun making piles of lovely lather... [emoji12]

Don't we need to start on May 1? Thing is, my Arko use started a week ago... So that doesn't count right?

I don't have a digital scale, but here's the Proraso on Day 1. Let's see how much of a dent I can make in it in May
