Thread: How many soaps do you keep in rotation?

I have been running the stock down over the last 3 years.

Currently I have and use in almost equal measure:
Taylors of Old Bond Street soap in sandalwood and in lime.
Palmolive Stick
a tube of "Denim' cream and a tube of Kallo Derma cream.

a raft of samples (gift)
trumpers eucris

I would replace my omega soap when it runs out the rest I could take or leave.

The soap count is starting to push past the minimalist approach and lifestyle. But, some are gifts so your reputation is safe.

Yes, you don't realise what you've got until you list it.

Currently got 2 in rotation. Dr Dittmar and Tobs Jermyn Collection Soap. The Tobs is the best soap Ive came accross yet, smells great and gives great glide on the blade.

An old management trick:

Anything measured improves.

I am trying to pair down to a 6 day rotation with Sunday being jump ball
MdC
MWF
EXPEC
B&M
Mikes
Stirling
Phoenix but I have CWSW coming in today for a test, to see if it makes the bigs

I have allowed myself to substitute any flavor i.e of Mikes, or Stirling or B&m etc.

I have put the others for sale at B&B classified

I have about 15, but use 3 or 4 in my regular rotation. Right now it's MWF, Proraso White cream, Proraso green and Toja shaving stick. I add a few drops (2 or 3) to the brush when using most of them. Sometime times, if I use a bowl or mug i mix MWF and the Proraso White together with glycerin. Usually I face lather.

I like to try new ones but every time I do I fall back to MWF and always enjoy MWF so that is my main soap unless I am doing a trial of something new.

I have 35 soaps/creams. I tend to use them randomly and I go through phases where I only use 1 or 2 for a couple of weeks then switch. Variety is the spice of life

I have about two kilo's, it dosent sound so bad that way.
