Just curios if most shavers prefer to stick with one cream / brand or do you keep a variety of hand and rotate which you use. I have read that some like different scents based on the season.
Do you primarily use one cream or rotate different brands & scents?

I use CO BIGELOW and I got a tube of Palmolive I tinker with along with some Zinh I got at TJ MAXX.
Switch constantly,I need variety !
I alternate between switching daily or single product use. Depends on if I am in acquisition mode or in reduction mode.
One cream. Found the one that works for me and I see no need to look any further.

Variety is the spice of life!
I have about 30 creams and more soaps than that. I rarely use the same product two days in a row.

I have been working through a sample pack of Maggard soaps. Before that I tried all four Proroso samples. Trying as many as I can and then I'll probably settle on a few that I'll buy in regular sizes.
I'm married to Speick but have a couple mistresses on the side.
I have a tub of AOS Lemon, Trumper Coconut, and Trumper GFT that I rotate through with each shave. That way, I get a little novelty with each shave. Variety puts the "fun" in "functional"!
I rotate between different brands and scents. I'm beginning to think it's not the best approach because I've got plenty of creams, which 1) are nearly 75-90% unused; 2) perform really well; and 3) I like. However, because I tend to use a different cream every time I shave, there are some I'm not getting through quick enough. I have tubs purchased in early 2013 and in my opinion should have finished them by now, particularly as I know I've finished tubs purchased after then.
Therefore, I'm not buying any more creams until I'm genuinely in need of more. I wonder how long that will last, but I believe I can make do. Mind you, shaving creams are not exactly the worst thing I could have spent money on! Nevertheless I've decided as of this week I'm going to be sticking to using the same cream all week until I finish the tub.
I'm fortunate that so far I've only found faults with one cream I bought, which was a mere £1.05 for a tube anyway.

Oh, I keep jumping from one to the other. If I ever found The One, a cream that was so far above all the others, with great performance and a smell I couldn't grow tired of, I would use it much more often than not. But I'd still want to "stray" once in a while. I have a few creams I really don't like, and I'm almost glad.
Definitely rotate according to mood
Rotate. I have tried to use one cream (or soap) for a whole week, but haven't made it all the way yet.
I have them stacked 4 high & grab the next in line & put it to the bottom. I have about 35
Agreed Rick, love the variety and use what sounds good that day, but do tend to like earthy scents in cold weather and citrus w/menthol during warmer weather.
