I'm still blown away by the number of shaves you can attain from those blades. Excellent!

You would be surprised how long DE blades can last. I usually get 10 excellent shaves with my only blade, Iridium Supers. There are a few folks who push theirs to 30-100. The furthest I have tried with mine has been 20. Nonetheless, 10 consistently excellent shaves is perfectly suitable, for me and I don't go past that number, but I am sure I could if I chose to do so.

I know that most DE blades are very inexpensive, but it is an interesting experiment to try, nonetheless.

It's on like Donkey... Milk
This was my first use of Wholly Kaw and I'm impressed. It was very easy to get that shiny, thick lather everyone mentions, the donkey milk seems to make a difference there and in post shave feel. This soap base rivals the best I've used. I won't comment much on the scent, since I used it almost right out of the mailbox, and cold seems to dampen scents. I'll use it a few more times to see if it gets a bit stronger as others do - what I smelled I liked. I used Unconditional Surrender toner to round out the shave and I'm happy.
Prep: CL butter
Soap: Wholly Kaw Monaco Royale
