Looking at my Shave den last night I suddenly realized I had SAD. 21 Hard soaps and 27 creams.... Hmmmmm
:shrug:When did this happen? I use them all also in various Uberlather mixes.
So my question to you all is how many soaps/creams do you have? Do you use them all, or do they sit for days/weeks/months on end?
Paul
P.S. I blame OBIE and RYAN!!!!:w
I have two cabinets filled with soaps, creams and aftershaves, no clue of how many, and too scared to count :p (probably something around 50, mostly hard soaps)
I have 10-12 that get used regularly, for the rest it can go weeks or even months between each use..
I don't think I'm too bad yet. I currently have 22 soaps/creams not counting the Truefitt & Hill sample pack I'm currently working through.:)
I have around 70 that are open and fair game on any given day. Some I use more frequently (like one a month/every few weeks) but most go a couple months without seeing any use, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Now that I discovered how much I love RazoRock stuff, I see SAD in my future. Plus a couple SRD soaps, MWF, and Musgo for ubering
My wife always like to mention that I "wanted to save money" with this hobby. Then I remind her that she likes the smoothness and the scents, and that solves the problem.
I am not sure how many, but for me the fun part is sharing! I slice a little of and give some to my sons and brothers, every once in a while I get some back, some good some great, but you get to try alot this way.
I haven't even counted the sample ones I have.:angel:Quote:

There's an expiration date??? :fim::rant::gaah:Quote:

Only a few :boohoo:
Not enough budget to try more, but SAD is my bane. I like to switch it up often and samples have been a great way to try stuff out. I own a couple of Mama Bears (and I want more of those scents), Edwin Jagger Seabuckthorn, MWF, and some other samples.
Soap ad had always be bad for me, I love soap s/creams and buy them every chance I get. I don't know how many I actually have but I know its not enough and probably never will be (same problem with aftershave and cologne)
I can relate. Just got 4 new Creed and 5 Tom Ford, M7 and ANNICK GOUTAL VETIVER. LOLQuote:

Hello, My Name is Paul......
I have a shaving saddiction!!!!!
You know, I like DR Harris, I just recently picked up the Marlborough soap, and Arlington Shave cream, really good stuff.... (Ryan's fault) He's a bad influence on me and Obie's just as bad, but he's an expensive date, with all those fancy french soaps....:rofl2:
I just wish more companies made samples. I realize I'll probably like whatever I buy; at least I have so far, but what if I don't like a scent? I doubt very much someone would want to get a used soap from a stranger and I don't have any friends that use anything other than canned goop. I currently have a sample of everything MNS makes as well as a jar of MWF, Body Shop Macca Root, Razorock Classic and a tube of Proraso. I have a travel size Castle Forbes Lavender on order, too. This is a small amount by comparison to others, but it's still a lot of soap, certainly more than a couple of years' worth of shaving.
6 RazorRock Artisan tallows, 2 RR classic line, 4 RR La Famiglia, 3 tubs of MNS, 3 tubs of Mystic Waters, 4 tubs of Mama Bears, 1-7oz tub from Mundus, 7 Mundus puck(great bath soap, not so good for lather/shaving), one red tub Cella, one brick of Cella, 1 tube of bigalow, and about 12 various samples. Oh, just ordered a tub of P160, to see what the hype is about. Too cheap to spring for the brick. Just a tad of SAD.
I have about 60 soaps and creams. more soaps than creams, however I have sold a lot that either weren't for me or didn't make the grade. I always love hearing or finding a new product that agrees so well with my skin :D
I have 15 creams and 12 soaps and I use all of them. Some are make the rotation more frequently than others I must admit. I find myself favouring soaps more and more in particular the tallow based soaps.
Dr Harris is the latest acquisition and I Like!!:tu

Isn't that the truth? Ryan killed me after sending me teh now out of production D Cariceni sample...... Damn why did they stop production???Quote:
