Good on you, I gave up trying to finish my pounder and sold/traded it sometime ago.

Well, Richard, it is an impressive accomplishment and no error; kind of like eating up an entire ham, down to the bone, all by oneself. Kudos for your perserverance!

The label says "Since 1956"...is that when you started using this tub, by any chance?

Already on to the next tub and new bottle of Booster Polar Ice A/S to celebrate. I've had the old tub for over three years (four?) and it was sitting around 1/3 before I added water to loosen it up and then in a determined effort for the last three months used it up. The first tub of Fraser's I had was never used up, that one beat me and I think I donated it.

I was going through another one of those phases where every shave soap I had seemed to be giving me some irritation/discomfort if used regularly. I pulled the JM Fraser's tub from the back of the drawer one day and just kept going with it. My skin feels great afterwards and less prone to nicks on my neck, which is something I've always been fighting with.

I once knew someone who did that. (eating a whole ham) At the time, no one perceived it as a desirable accomplishment! :lol:

I once heard a Cajun Chef describe eternity as being stranded on a desert island with one knife and a whole ham.

I have never seen one of these beasts before. Good night, 450ml! Gives new meaning to a "tub" of shaving cream.

Good show on finishing it off!

Pretty impressive that $12 worth of shaving cream could be that good and that large.
