Yep
MdC on Sundays
Although I'm hooked on Citrus, I'm thinking about plugging in MDC on Saturdays.
When going out with my wife, I try to pick a soap and AS with a scent that she likes, generally either Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet or Alvarez Gomez. Generally, I get everything ready for the morning shave the night before, and pick out whatever happens to interest me at the moment.
Got lots of creams but I only use Xpec or Acqua Di Parma.
I look at the 2 side by side and depending on a number of spiritual factors I know which one will have the honour :angel:
There is no order to my selection. Sometimes I try to be monogamous with one soap for a couple of weeks and other times I play the field from one day to the next on whatever whim hits me.
Special occasions--With out a doubt is Porter's shave soap from the Porter's Lotion Co. in Montana. Everyday shaves lately have been my soap concoctions, some of which are really good combos.
No, just whatever I feel like using that day.

my decision greatly leans on what scent catches my nose that day
I usually have around 10 soaps in the rotation and just pick the next one in line.

I use a super lather of mixed bag at work, the soap is a big bowl of all my leftovers including hand soap and the cream is the same with the addition of all my remaining lather. Used to shave daily now it is about 4-5 times over 2 weeks. At home I only have a puck of Edwin Jager which is OK but I won't replace when it finds its way to work.
I do like to use a favorite special soap on the weekends, typically MDC, or on occasion, Castle Forbes Lavender. Also use thes two during the week too. So I guess no rhyme or reason, once or twice a week I go to one of my other 3-4 in the order of my fav,s. Tc
Interesting...lately I've been using the same soap for about 10 shaves or all the way through the current rotation. If it's a new one I can get a sense of the water ratio and build rate if I use it day after day.
And if it's a regular - I think I'm making a dent in the multi-year collection....
I use full randomization for my choices.
cheapest I Can find.Palmolive or tabac
I rotate between all my soaps, however, I try and make a mental note to use Tabac on Tuesdays. Sometimes I'm successful, generally not. :)
Gentlemen,
I use whatever strikes the mood.
Sometimes I decide what soap to use the night before a shave, mostly I just grab one in the morning and lather up.
They used to have a thing around here they called Mentholated Monday I am still carrying on the tradition. Lately it has been Yeti Snot Ultra Mentholated Soap (like a York Peppermint Patty for your face!) Before that it was Dapper Dragon Ice Wyrm Soap. I like to start the week with that face freeze.:y
I will do that too. I also have Yeti Snot. Other than my eyes watering it is not bad.
I use Tabac on days with a Y in them
That is a good one!
Proraso red on Sunday, my favorite soap for a special day. other wise whatever suits my mood.
