I don't know how long, in number of shaves, it takes for me to go through a full container of soap. Absolutely no idea, and I have been doing this for years. I know I'm not alone on this.
The only thing I've ever finished off—aside from samples, of course—was a refill-sized-puck of Stirling Port-au-Prince, which I stuck in one of their smaller jars, but I didn't get a sense of how long it took because frankly I wasn't paying attention.
I noticed the other day that the soap in my Mammoth Z, which was fresh at the start of this month, is getting pretty thin in the middle. I thought to myself, "How can I determine exactly how close to the bottom it is, but without interfering with the natural progression? If only I had something very thin but rigid to use to gauge the depth..." So I stuck the DE blade that's been just sitting in my Rockwell 6S since last month in there. Verdict: the soap is pretty damn near the bottom of the jar.
Thing is, though, that I am no closer to having any idea of how long it takes me to go through a full container of soap, because the past three and a half weeks are not representative of how I usually use soap. At this point, I'm easily using at least thrice my normal amount (likely much more than that, but why pass up an opportunity to say "thrice"?).
Why am I using so much more soap than usual? Because at the very heart of your precious face-lather is Waste:
Waste of soap.
Waste of time.
Waste of dignity.
Oh, hey, I haven't done u/Teufelskraft's #sidetracked thing in a while. Several years ago, I was on r/tipofmytongue and found a post by someone who was too lazy to use Shazam, which I did do to identify this song: Casket Girs - Walking on a Wire
In what was otherwise a fairly unmemorable online interaction, I enjoyed the song and it stuck with me. I'm a fan of the calm, kind of dark tone to it, which it shares with MXMS - The Run, which I shared the other day, as well as Chaos Chaos - Figure it Out, which I've been meaning to include on one of these things, but at this point I'm likely to not get around to it, so here that is, too!
