Some stats:
It took me 0.9 years to kill this tub.
I got 36 shaves out of the tub, and also sent out 6 or 7 smushes. So lets call it 43 shaves.
Assuming an exact 4oz pour, that's only 2.65 grams per shave.
The alum slipped from my hand and I dropped it in the sink. Two corners broke off 🙃. I finished the Nivea balm. I had it before I started counting shaves, before I had a brush and soap and before I had my Shapton stones. From when I started counting I logged 59 shaves with it, costing at most 10.17 euro cents a shave and consuming at most 1.6949 ml on average per shave. I have another one so that one will have well counted stats.
Fragrance: Creed - Virgin Island Water - Eau de Parfum
Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The scent off the tub of Sea Spice Lime was so refreshing that I went all out on this shave and added fragrance and talc. The use of Virgin Island Water was a hunch that paid off. The transition between the two scents was very nice.
The Vector is excellent, as I've said before. The squared off bolt on the cap always gives me pause, but, you know, I've never had a problem with it, and I bet few others have either. This feature satisfies my need to be critical about mechanical design, no matter how irrelevant, so kudos to Shane for including it.

Very nice shave, and a tub kill!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/FanzineSapone seems to be on hiatus, but hopefully he makes more soap in the future.

SSL is great, and so is the 20.1 base. Great shave this morning.
