A tube of Arko Sensitive shaving cream(the first cream I owned )
1 puck of MamaBear's Vanilla Sandalwood
1 puck of MamaBear's Dragon Blood
Numerous packs of Shark blades, but still haven't got through that 1st 100 pack I bought lol
And almost 2 bottles of Lucky Tiger Aftershave and Face Tonic, I LOVE this stuff so much! If I ever hear rumours of them going out of business I'm stocking up for life. IB has been sold out for a while, Maggard as well, and I was getting worried, but finally they came back in stock on ShaveNation and I got another bottle

The first soap I bought after returning to traditional shaving, in January 2011, was a puck of D.R. Harris Almond in the wooden bowl. I still have about a third of it left. No reflection on the soap -- it's excellent; it just has a lot of competition.
I guess I should mention the soaps that I have finished over the last 5.5 years: Mike's, Arko, MWF, Classic Shaving -- several pucks of each. Trumper's Rose (great scent, but the cream is even better), Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime (wonderful scent, and the cream is equally good).
Sapo longus, vita brevis.
(Ain't it interesting how "soap" is an anagram of its Latin translation? No, c'mon, really -- it's fascinating!)

Although I’ve been wet shaving with “classical” equipment for several years now, it’s quite astonishing how little I’ve finished. Here’s all I can think of.
• Parker ”Long-Loft” Pure Badger Ebony:
The logo on this scritch machine wore off in less than a week, and I’m careful with this stuff. The knot fell out twice. Very subpar brush. I feel bad that a badger had to die for this piece of junk.
• Taconic Shave Eucalyptus Mint:
Pretty good “croap,” pleasing scent. First one I got when transitioning from aerosols.
• Dr. Jon’s Shaving Soap Co. Hydra:
Great performance, but I wonder if something was wrong with the one I got. Everyone seems to love Hydra’s citrus scent. Mine smelled like an art supply store. It arrived completely liquified by the summer heat, so there’s that…
• Nivea Sensitive post shave balm and Energy Q10 balm:
Not much to be said about these. Well-known, nice products.
Like others have already stated, when you have a number of full-size products and a number of samples, and your not armed with attention span and focus, it takes a long time to get through shaving products.

Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

If just going back to when I started shaving with a DE razor, shaving soap, and brush I have used up:
Stirling Ozark Mtn - sample
" Barbershop - sample
" Bergamot Lavender -sample
" Coniferous - sample
" Sharp Dressed Man -sample
VDH Glycerin soap. First shaving soap I bought, only one they had at Walgreens that day although I kind of cheated as I used it sometimes to wash my face or as a pre-shave after I bought some more soaps
1 bottle of Aqua Velva which has been replaced.
1/2 a bottle of Stetson Cooling --got knocked off my sink counter. Bathroom smelled nice for quite awhile.
1 bottle of something from Dollar General. Maybe the green Brisk. Not sure but didn't like it, asked my brother and dad if they wanted it and both declined so I dumped it.
1 bottle of Dove aftershave balm.
