I agree. and if you spend $10 tossing it in the garbage.....

True! Thats why i dont buy online! I want to at least know that i know and like the scent

Like 32t, only one. For me it's Art of Shaving cream. Haven't found anything that I like better, and haven't used anything else for some time.

I'm at the point where I've lost track…lol…enough to go for a month without using the same one twice for sure. Don't want to limit myself, life is short and part of the fun of all this is trying new things. Sure, I have a few staples like MdC, Tabac & Speick but could't imagine myself dropping down to just 1 or 2

You know i saw their store at Macys in NY and i was wondering if it was good! They are sure pricey! I might have to give them a try

Normally I have 1 soap and 1 cream in roation and try to use one up before adding another / different one into the game. Currently however I have 3 soaps & 1 cream rotating as I was given 2 jars of Jabonman's excellent shave soaps to try and I love them.

My go-to shave soap is the "Valobra Almond" or the very similar "Sapone da Barba Vegetale alla Mandorla"

at this point its so many that I really couldn't even call it a rotation, haha. I have my favorites, but I don't have a system. I recently estimated that I have somewhere around 9 years worth. At least come the zombie apocalypse I wont be wanting for shaving supplies...

One. T of B Lavender. I had a Soapbox Gypsy but it wasn't really all that good so i gave it to my brother.

I have about 10 soaps right now, no cream's, but my 3 go to's are MWF, Tabac and TOBS sandalwood.

I have 3 in solid rotation:
1. Cella
2. D.R. Harris Arlington
3. Tabac
These are NOT in order of preference, they are in alphabetical order.
They are all AWESOME!!
I've recently moved from bowl lathering to face lathering. My homemade scuttle only accommodates the brush and doesn't lend itself to bowl lathering. Once I concoct a cheap bowl scuttle out of what's laying around the house, I'll go back to the bowl. Until then...No Rush.
