10 gram of soap left = how many shaves?

15-25: When ring of soap got narrower I had to up the number of swirls from 40 to 60 for proper lathering, got a bit careless and was rewarded with crumbles of soap, now molded to one side of tin, moving on towards 30...

Spent a week with Meissner Moroccan Rhassoul, daily 40 swirls in jar with brush = average soap consumtion of 0.4 gram so expecting about 250 shaves if I carry on this way (producing way to much lather, 20 swirls would probably be enough but I am not into this hobby to save money :) )

If you want it to last for many shaves you can do one thing.

Use a plastic salad bowl to make the foam.

You make the foam with a cheap Synthetic brush (they are more resistant than natural hair).

The trick is not to clean the Brush at the end of the shave, you just gently squeeze the excess lather and put it in the salad bowl.

And you leave the salad bowl with the remains of soap, foam, and the Brush without cleaning.

The next day you just have to add a few drops of water and you make the foam without adding soap.

With this trick, the same amount of soap lasts twice or three times as many shaves.

You only add soap one day yes, one day no.
