A nice end to Austere August. I never got tired of Port-Au-Prince, which says a lot. I used to not really like the scent because of the lemongrass, but I quickly learned to really enjoy it.

Final Stats:

  • Total Soap Used - 98 grams
  • Average grams per day - 3.16
  • Lightest soap usage day - 1.6 grams (loaded light on purpose, otherwise there are a few 2.1 gram days)
  • Heaviest soap usage day - 5.5 grams

I found the weight of a Stirling tub online, and if it's to be believed I have about 26 grams of soap left in this tub. At my rate of 3 grams per day, I should have another 8 shaves in this tub. If it was 4 or something, I'd keep using it and kill it, but I'll save this kill for some other time.
