    I have my soaps in two groups. One group are soaps actively being used and I use them on a random basis. The other are pretty much in storage. Every month or so I take one of the storage soaps and put it in the active group and retire the previous transplant back to storage.

    I buy a soap and if it is acceptable I use it until it is gone. If I think I can do better I will change then.

    My last purchase was a kilo of Cella. Even after giving half away I have been using that for a while!

    I have a few that I know I really like and a bunch that I keep trying to like, but can’t quite get there. Unfortunately, I’m not as organized as some and usually remember I didn’t really like the scent or the glide or the after shave feel until I lather it up. I’m beginning to think I should just keep the ones I really enjoy and leave the rest at the pay it forward table at a meet up.

    And then I read about a soap, cream or croap I haven’t tried and start to obsess about trying it out just in case ... I don’t think I have SAD, but I could easily develop it.

    Life is to short to use poor soap.

    Toss the stuff or use it in the shower.

    Just because it has gotten good reviews if you don't like it toss it.

    I go through bursts where I just can’t hold back. But I think from now on I’m going to stop buying things that are just good deals, or today’s flavor of the day. I’ve prepared a list of soaps I want, and I’m going to try to stick to it.

    Oh and, I’ve given quite a few soaps away - it’s a good idea!

    I’ve never thought of using a soap as a... soap. Maybe I’ll try it.
