I spend part of each morning (and occasionally the night before -- yes, I need to get out more often, too) with a mixture of joyful anticipation of the soap I will be using for my shave and on the other hand a feeling of wasteful frivolity in purchasing the more than a dozen soaps I have in my drawer.

If a soap doesn't rock my boat it ends up as bath soap. This usually if it irritates my face or plain won't lather well.

I'll have to see what happens three or more years down the line when I actually use up these soaps. Expect I'll limit the rotation to three or four.
