Guilty as charged. Maybe I’ll start a thread for almost done and dusted stuff!

Always a refreshing scent.  Thankfully I have a backup ready to go

Finally. I went through two bottles of RazoRock's "Irish Countryside" AS. I really liked the scent at first but I was getting rather tired of it for the last 80 ml or so.
It's a clone of Green Irish Tweed. 
Now I still have to finish the tub of Irish Countryside soap, as well as the Stirling "Sharp-Dressed Man" soap with a similar scent.

Shame Shaving is a "have to" for you. I just use what I "want to". Shaving "have to's" a thing of the past....

Dunno about that. I am in the "have to" camp. If I get something and don't like it, what am I supposed to do? Throw it out? No! Can't do that! Give it away? Hmmmm.......well then I feel guilty for passing along something that is trash. It is a conundrum .

Also, forcing myself to finish it is a karmic punishment for again, doing a blind buy based on reviews alone. When will I learn? Buy samples. If they don't have samples, don't buy it unless they have 15,000 five star reviews on Amazon.

It is all a rebellion to brick and mortar stores no longer carrying quality shaving supplies, not even the basics. Somehow, all of that is my fault.

I never waste and throw things out. But just because I don't like something does not mean it it won't be perfect for someone else and so I do like to give things away. Many also just use soaps that they're not crazy about as a bath soap to go through it quicker and not ruin the joy of their shaves.

You make a good point about use as a bath soap. Tough to do that with creams but I suppose that you could. I did pick up a bay rum aftershave that I really don't care for, but it makes a fine after bash splash.
