I've been using this since the 1st March and it's gone down a little. It's been good to see a soap go down but using every other day I reckon it would last another 3 months at least.

I have found in the past that CB soaps work well using the Marco method so that might use more up [emoji12]

Post: Dr Jon's Classic Aftershave, Natio's MRRL

Nice shave today for this gloomy, wet day at home. I have to give Dr Jon's soap a bit more credit, cause it is an amazing soap when you spend some time on the lather.
The razor had no problems going through a weeks growth, 3 passes for a smooth as babies bum face haha. Then to finish up the Dr Jon's splash and the Natio lotion.
Enjoy the rest of your Easter gents

It's wonderful aftershave! Don't worry, we're on to it already...

Razor: Gillette F4 Fatboy (5)
Blade: Wilkinson Sword 'Light Brigade' (15)
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson reknotted in Pure
Soap/Cream: Mike's Natural Shave Soap - Barbershop
Aftershave: Ogallala Bay Rum, Lime and Peppercorns

Using the 'approved' method with the Mike's it whips up an AMAZING lather. The Fatboy and Light Brigade just slide across my face - cutting hair? No, could not have been it was so smooth - but, hey, hang on, this is BBS - seriously good shave!

While I will NEVER do a shave video (fine for those who do but not my thing) I just had to show you the lather on my face before the first passs -



(Boring Accountants, like dentists, can't show their face though - sorry)
 
Almost exactly the same as last night - 2 pass and DFS+.
Hot towel for a couple of minutes. I find it helps with the grey barbedwire on my chin.
Same enjoyable soap. Tallow based with Lime, Peppermint and Clove. I will definitely make this one again.
Omega 20102 brush. [ Thanks @alfredus ] Face lathered.
Another superb razor - Schick Type "E" with Personna blade [3] We are so lucky to have such amazing hardware to choose and use.
Not much more to say except another thoroughly enjoyable shave.
 
Soap: Shaver Heaven, Arctic Mango Extreme
Brush: Edwin Jagger badger
Face lather
Blade: Inoue Fujisuke kamisori

Wasn't time for a slow kami shave this morning (had to go to church this morning) so just a normally paced 3 pass shave. I'm sure if I wielded this razor more often I'd get closer shaves, quicker. Still ... ... ... I only left half-shaved passes in a couple of places. I have only used the Shaver Heaven, Arctic Mango Extreme once previously. This time I really enjoyed this soap instead of concentrating on the cooling, almost numbing sensation (resulting in no nicks). Well done @Anthony ; an enjoyable, cooling soap which, while the scent is "not me", I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend. Tomorrow is another Public Holiday so another slooooow kami shave.
