How many shave soaps do you have ready to use at any given time?

[nrv216]

And how do you store them?

I just got a puck of the fabled MWF from my fiance for my b-day but I already have a puck of something else in my bowl. Now I am considering buying another bowl and just having two in rotation. However, counter space is limited and I do not want to have a cabinet full of bowls of soap. What do you guys do as I know some of you are soap junkies?

I only have about 8 in rotation. I keep them in different mugs that I have picked up over the years at thrift stores.

I have nine soaps in my rotation and five more that are not opened. I store the unopened soaps in whatever container they came in. The other soaps either came in glass or wooden bowls and that is what I keep them in - except for Cella which I have cut into chunks. One chunk that I am using is kept in a Tupperware container. The remainder has been vacuum sealed in a food saver.

You can see how my soaps are used in my rotation. The picture below was taken some time ago and since then I have quite a few more razors, soaps, and other goodies. I will update the picture in my gallery when I have some time. I installed the sliding wire drawers. On the right side on the top I keep my soaps and creams that are in my rotation. The remainder of the soaps and creams are kept in the middle drawer.

I think I have about 6. RazoRocks and MdC came in their own containers. The others I have in Pyrex glass bowls with lids. They were like $10 at wally world for 4 of em

Old Saw, where do you keep the mugs?

Ackvil, very impressive setup!

Cochese, I have a cheap glass container I use too. I might have to go pick a few more up from wally world.

One on the counter at a time. Using one product until completion.

Some of them sit on a wire corner shelf on the vanity that my wife got for my stuff. Some are in a drawer. They don't take up too much space.

FL, you are officially the only one on this forum with any will power. I am trying to remain patient but my resolve is fading.

You can stack three or four Pyrex containers on top of each other quite easily. I only keep 5 soaps in my rotation at a time, so it only uses up the counter space of two Pyrex containers (since the rest are stacked on top of the first two).

I stray now and again! I look forward to trips so I can mix it up, too.

My soap drawer is at its limit in bowls. Since I have two Harris soaps in wooden bowls. I plan on purchasing just the refill pucks for the other two Harris soaps and rotating the four pucks in and out of the two bowls. The loose ones I'll just store in a heavy duty Baggie and keep them somewhere else.

One.

 

[GreekGuy]

12-15

I've found Pyrex bowls are the best option. Cheap, stackable, and keep soaps smelling like new.

 

[Member357]

I rotate MWF, Cella, Vitos, Tabac, Fume, Proraso White, Proraso Green, Palmolive stick, palmolive cream, arko, derby stick, tweex stick, erasmic cream, and a menthol cream (white tube, blue lettering, the name of which escapes me now!). The only ones I've used on more than one successive day were the MWF, the Fume and the Tabac.

I think I'm down to about 15. The goal is to get to single digits by the end of the year.

About 6 are in pyrex bowls, the rest are in wooden bowls or their original container.

2 creams and 5 soaps....plus, 2 "frankensoaps"

I have about 15, or so ,soaps in my current rotation and another 8 to 10? in the pantry. I keep about 10 in Old Spice mugs and the rest in a variety of wooden bowls. Most of the stuff in the pantry is in its original packaging. Additionally there are soap samples laying around from manufactures and friends. I don't have any single method of storing soaps but Old Spice mugs are my primary method of choice for soaps.
