March Madness - ONE soap for ONE month

I did something similar last year for Tabactober and it was pretty cool. The rules are simple, pick a soap or cream and use it for the whole month of March. I know this is nothing for the 3017'rs, but for the rest of us it can be a challenge. Will boredom set in? Will your other soaps cry for attention? It's just one month, geez. Haven't finished a soap in a while and I'd like to put a dent into something. Who's with me? Comment in the thread that you are in and tell us which soap you will be using.

It's that hard no one has volunteered yet! 

I will not be joining in as I live variety to much but good luck.

I'm already going 3017 through all my soaps so I'll be in by default

Fantastic, it's a start   And which soap will you be using in March?

I recently purchased the travel pack of C&S No. 88 with the 3 smaller pucks. This will be a good time try this scent for the first time and hopefully finish one of the pucks.

Good times!

Max, great choice. The Haslinger pucks seem like the perfect size for a month effort.

It'll be a fun month. I get around 35-40 shaves from a puck. It will be interesting to see if others join in and their reactions to the month. I used to rotate soaps left and right but get much more satisfaction dialing in and working through a soap one at a time now. Thanks for getting us started Rob...it doesn't get any better than Czech & Speake.

I will gladly step where others won't.  I will use Arko for the month of March.

No one can question your bravery, Johnny!

I have a tentative soap rotation in place through Christmas. I will be only using barbershop scents during the month of March

B&M Seville
Ghost Barber
Maggards London Barbershop

Another couple I am sure I am forgetting

I'll join in see if I can do it. I'll choose CRSW spring soap with aftershave 

I'm in with a puck of AoS Sandalwood.  It doesn't hurt that I've been using this until it dies... for the last year+.

Wow, the same puck or are you going through a stash??

A nice selection, but this does not seem like a challenge at all! How about picking just one? 

If you had asked me to do this last year I would have jumped on board but I am wrapping up an experiment of using one soap - beginning to end - and my other poor soaps are crying out for attention.

It's still only mid-February. Plenty of time to wrap up your experiment and use a few soaps before March 

OK, shevek. I'm in. March. Mike's Natural Soap. Lavender.

Welcome, Thalasos. Great choice.

I will add to the challenge, along with my Arko Soap, I will use just one after shave and one razor.  The only thing that will change is the brush I use.
