Today marked 40 shaves for the Frostbite soap, but it's fading visibly now. Maybe 5 to 8 more shaves before it's time to move on. I had a bright idea a couple of weeks ago and moved the remaining soap to a wooden bowl, but after about 3 uses made me realize there wasn't enough surface area for the Razorock synthetic brush to grab the best amount of soap during my 15 second lathering regimen. I moved it back into the empty original container and now things are moving along at a proper pace toward the ultimate disappearing act.

The Krampert's Frostbite gave up 43 excellent shaves before it ran out. Well done!

Gary do you have any feel for how many shaves you got in total? Myself, I couldn't hazard even a guess but the bottom is plainly visible in the center.

Yes sir! Exactly 43 shaves, all of which were excellent. I loaded the brush no more than 15 seconds.

I definitely need to use this soap more often. I enjoyed it so much this morning.
