Is having so much shaving gear that you could shave every day for 50 years and not use the same item twice considered a rotation?

 

[Acmemfg]

4 razors
5 brushes (+2 I keep mostly for sentimental reasons; don't use but rarely)
7 creams
4 sticks
9 soaps
probably around 150-160 blades from about 15 different manufacturers
2 colognes
7 aftershaves

I guess that's reasonable

I have to much stuff. It seems like I sell off a bunch of stuff on BST, then wind up buying half as much stuff again after. Though honestly, I feel like I'm getting more quality than quantity now. I'm pairing down little by little, and I dont have as much shaving stuff that just gets ignored.

Yup. It's all about scale, Harry.

The good thing is I've made my mind what I like and want to use. So, I'm not going to introduce new shaving items anymore. The bad thing is that there are too many shaving products I have, like, and want to keep in rotation. I have to balance the things somehow. I'm trying to narrow down the amount of products I use to a manageable number and propostions. That said, not counting the 'collectables', I try to keep in rotation 10 razors, 4 blades, 15 brushes, 12 soaps, 10 creams, and 10 AS(B).

 

[Cynomys]

4 brushes
2 DE razors
2 SE razors
4 soaps and creams
8 blades

The next question, of course, is how many different types of combinations / permutations does this involve..
