    Right now I've got 3 tubs of soap I use. One is almost finished and another is low though.

    Albert Einstein used the same soap for shaving and washing because of a firm conviction that two kinds of soap needlessly complicate life.

    I have recently done this. I bet a few folks here may have more than me but at this time I'm at 36 different soaps.
    A few containers of the same kind because I liked it so much.
    Does this qualify as S.A.D.?
    Man, that’s a bit crazy!

    I’ve focused on having seven Top Tier only.

    My grandfather would have agreed. He would shave off a few slivers of an Ivory Soap bar from his bathroom to put into his shaving mug. His shaving den? His kitchen table. Cheap drugstore table mirror. A Solingen Straight that he had since he was 20 years old. A styptic pencil and a basin of water.

    If that man were alive today and saw my shaving den, he'd think I had totally lost my mind. His first thought would be that I was opening a store to sell shaving supplies. What other reason would anyone have DOZENS of soaps and razors and aftershaves and.... well... you get the idea.
