Thread: Multiple Soaps

I have been reading how many people have multiple soaps in their rotation. Does that mean that they have multiple mugs/bowls with all the different soaps in them lying around their bathroom?

I know this may sound crazy, but I just don't get it. Do people put them in zip locks or something at the end of the shave and get ready for the next one?

I currently have 2 in rotation. Each in it's own mug on the sink. Sometimes you just feel like something different, whether it's a different lather, different consistency or different scent.

I currently go back and forth between Colleen's Highlander and Cavendish Black. The Highlander is a crisp clean scent, the Black is a deeper more robust scent.

I do have a cake of Williams that I started with which I cleaned off and put back in a ziplock for a backup. It's a good soap but I just don't enjoy the experience it provides as much as the other soaps I have so it'll probably become a travel soap or something like that.

I have about 6 soaps in my rotation and have 6 mugs of all different types near my gear. No different than some guys have a bunch of brushes, strops, razors, hones. It becomes a hobby after a while and its all part of the fun.

I have different ceramic bowls and paid through the nose -- $7ea for the first 3 and $5ea for the last 2. However, they're pimpin' black ceramic. If you want to go cheap, you can get those plastic ziploc round containers.

Firestart,

Where did you get these "pimpin' black ceramic" bowls?

Mike,
I've got a pretty bad case of soap acquistion disorder. Currently, I have around 14 different Mama Bear soaps (all different scents) in their own resealable containers, 1 SCS soap in a mug, 1 Tabac soap in the tabac container with a lid, 1 Burma Shave soap in a mug, 1 Williams soap in a mug, 1 Old Spice soap in a mug with a lid, 1 Avon Gentlemans Regime soap in a mug, and 1 Em's Place soap in a resealable container. I am probably forgetting some, but this list is already pretty long, so you get the point. I only keep 1 soap out on the bathroom counter, the rest are put away in linen closet.
Just remember that of all the ____ acquistion disorders, shaving soap is definately the cheapest. Even cheaper than aftershave acquisition disorder!

I use wooden bowls

$7 -- Zellers
$5 -- Canadian Tire

There should be a pic of one with Colleen's soap in it, in my outdated gallery.

I sometimes use plastic 500 ml icecream containers.

Pyrex makes small, resealable glass containers that I use to keep my soaps. Right now I have two in the rotation.

The containers are about a 6 oz. size, and I can start the lather in the container before moving to my latte mug.
