The Dumpster

**Obie** · 05-09-2010, 06:23 PM

Ladies and gentlemen:

Sometimes I am unwilling to dispose of what I have discovered from personal experience to be low quality shaving soaps — for me. Although other gentlemen like them, the soaps don't seem to work for me. Instead I dump the pucks in a metal camping-style shave mug that sits on the bathroom counter along with the other mugs holding quality soaps. This mug is my dumpster.

Currently I have a stack of three shaving soaps in it, from bottom up: Colonel Conk, VDH and Caswell-Massey. I use them once in a while to justify keeping them around.

Do you, oh wise wet shavers, have such a dumpster on your bathroom counter? I am just curious.

Regards,
Obie

I will place them around the house in the bathrooms & the kitchen and use them as hand or body soaps.

Works for me....

Obie,

Your above statement is true for me. Although I don't consider myself a hoarder I do end up keeping all my shaving gear - razors, soaps, aftershaves - as I can find some kind of use for them in my rotation. In fact I can't really say I have any soaps other than Williams (which I bought out of morbid curiosity) which I would consider "bad".... and even the Williams still adorns my shave den for some reason

I use them all...regardless of how they work for me. I can't bear with just having something wasting away under the sink. Having said that, the only one I'll ever get rid of is MB's Bacon Fragrance soap...gack...the stuff burns and smells like a tire fire. Maybe I'll trade it or PIF it off.

Hi Obie,

I dont have a dumpster, but things I dont use tend to get PIF'ed or sold! I had an ERN razor that I gave to my dad last week as its one I dont really use that much. He was keen to try a straight, so it was a pretty good match and it went to a good home..!

All the best,

Stuart

i have a load of products.. not even just soap.. but all kinds of nonsense.. shampoo, shaving creams, aftershaves, deoderants... they float around unused until i have guests over or i can find a use for them.. i have too many issues to just throw them out..

I have a "dumpster" as well. I have a few soaps that don't get much use. The thought of using them as hand soap never crossed my mind. Thanks for the great idea.

If I don't like it I will give it to an interested party, one man's trash so to speak.
