The bottom of a tub

Last shave with the CBL Hombres soap today. Just a little shy of 2 months, which is excellent given that a standard 4oz puck normally lasts me approximately 3 months. Even on the last go, it provided a very nice lather and then scent was still there. If you have not tried a CBL soap before, you should consider rectifying that situation.

I most unfortunately have one week left of my very last Williams soap. 50 years - gone forever. Is there anything close, to mitigate the withdrawal?

Finished up my Gillette Pure cream this morning after about 3 months of daily shaves. While it is more than functional and lathers easily, it still had that strange chemical scent and there are so many products in my stockpile that there is no need for me to repurchase.

Up next, a partial tube of Nivea cream.
