I have finished my first MWF.
Actually I had to throw away last maybe 10-15 grams as it got soo hard I could not lather that. I wanted to grate it but it just broke into pieces.
Anyone experienced something similar? What to do in this situation?

How many years did that take you to use up?
I've had a puck for a few years now and with constant rotation this will last me another 10 years (and then the other 5 pucks I have stashed away)

It took me over 3 years using with another 10 soaps😂
But at the beginning I was using that more often as my rotation was just 4 soaps and this was my favourite one.
 
The last sliver of this magnificent soap has been consumed. It has been my stalwart pre-shave soap for almost a decade. Thankfully, I have an Australian soap with a similar formulation thot offers similar performance.

I finished the one you sent me just a few days ago. (Thanks! (y)) Apparently it's still available, see @Mark1966's post about 6 messages up from here...

I've been using this unobtainium Valobra Glicerlanolina as my pre-shave since @TomG made me a princely gift of it (his last one!) about a year ago. All good things come to an end... 😐

Thanks Tom! :)

Hey, my friend! Sorry I missed your post; glad you enjoyed it. 😃
 
Not often you get a "three for" -

Finished the soap, except for the required "Speedy Speck" (TM), and went to use the splash to discover it was empty too, so grabbed the balm, and it was on its last legs!

I first got this many moons ago when Canada Post was still doing shipping by sea mail and the alcohol was not an issue.

Not sure if they still do, you can find them here: https://henrietvictoria.com/

This isn't meant to happen, but inevitably it does. :( The good news is that I have four more pucks of this sublime soap, so that evil day isn't quite yet.

Whenever I see a post by you here there is a twinge of sadness ...

Hmmmm, sorry about that, I hadn't realised I was bringing the mood down :facepalm:

No, not at all!

Just that I know when you finish something it is unobtanium, so when it is gone, it is gone.

Not bringing the mood down, just a time for somber reflection and commemoration ;-)

Well, I've pretty much been getting through a puck of this O&C in a year, so that should mean I have four more years' worth of this glorious soap. Of course, I may choose to eke out the last one, using it for births, weddings and funerals. But at my age, there'll be more of the latter, so better to just enjoy it and let go...
