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'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.

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

T&H Grafton
B&M Seville
Ghost Barber
Maggards London Barbershop
Strop shoppebarber shoppe
Another couple I am sure I am forgetting
A nice selection, but this does not seem like a challenge at all! How about picking just one?

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