Thread: Just had a baby girl, Mother-in-law took over shave den, what soap do I take?

OK, now, I had this conundrum following the birth of my first child on Monday. We came home yesterday to a house overrun by Mother/Sister-in-law. My shave den is also the main guest bathroom, so I had to choose. I don't have a lot of soaps, but I had to take only one because our bathroom is fairly packed with my wife's needs and with a baby it's more than usual. So I had to choose from my limited selection. For some of you this would be nigh unto impossible, but I only have about 15 soaps.

So I thought about it and narrowed it down to:
Sir Irisch Moos
Valobra
Vito's Extra
Razorock
and,
L'occitane

For those of you with these in your collection, what would you choose?

I will tell you what I chose tomorrow!

I don't have near that many. I'd have to go with a vetiver QED called 'Luxury Lather'. Congrats on your newborn.

Jimmy, he wanted you to pick one from his list...

I would pick the L'Occitane, top notch stuff.

Oh, yeah, who cares about soap when you got a new DAUGHTER!!! Congrats!!!

Congrats on the newborn. Hope you get to sleep.

Take the RazoRock, and run for the hills.

Congrats on the baby.

As for the assault on the Shave Den; get them one of these, while they are there. It might help expedite their retreat.

Take it from one who has been there done that,wellcome the woman with open arms.
At this point you are useless to your wife,her mother is golden.
When the last of our 3 was born 27 yrs ago,my wifes Ma and sis came in with packed bags ready to roll.
I went duck hunting for a week.

First, congrats on the little princess

Then to the important part

I have all of the mentioned except for Vito's, I would have gone for either Irisch Moos or Valobra (given that it is the stick?), both are IMO excellent performers with a scent I love.

Jimmy - that number 15 includes the things like Col. Conk Lime that I got for $3 and the Godrej, Figaro, and Kappus Cremes I got dirt cheap. Thinking about it though, maybe I should have grabbed the figaro.

Joe - That is the comment of the day! this is my first child, a little baby girl named Jewel Audrey and I care BECAUSE of her. She's amazing and only 4 days old. But I want to be BBS for her of course... I don't want her nuzzling into Grizzly Adams.

Crazy Lizard man - Ok... Why?

Hirlau - Funny, but I actually like my M-i-L, she is cleaning and cooking and making life bearable, she even let me sleep one night taking over baby duty, kinda sad she has to leave on Monday! Addresses Pixelfixed too to some extent.

Pixelfixed - Honestly with this being the first, I really need to be here through all of it. Our first night home I took baby for an hour long walk outside at 1:00am in my boxer shorts, flip flops, and a t-shirt because mommy needed a break from feeding... she hadn't gotten more than an hour straight of sleep, so I let her get two and a half before bringing baby back up for feeding. Then baby gave us about two hours between each of the others.

This is good stuff guys, thanks.

Zephyr, yes both are the sticks and they are both on my list because of the performance and smell! Just which one do I choose (well, already done for me, but I will give my reasons after the break)!

I would have picked Valobra based on the more neutral scent than the IM. If I had to use the same soap over several days I find a neutral scent to be more practical.
