How many soaps/creams do you have? How many have you not even tried?

[BrookR1]

OK...I think I've really hit my limit of soaps/creams now. It's really out of control. Out of the 30 soaps/creams I have, 15 of those I haven't even tried. I've been so occupied with getting rid of creams that are nearly finished, that I've ignored my others. I spend one week at a time with a particular soap/cream before it's rotated out. At this rate, it looks like I will see each soap twice per year.

I'm not even counting the samples...ugggh

Start putting used stuff on BST!

 

[njpaddy]

I was in that position in early 2011. I got a medium priority mail box, shoved as many items as I could fit in it and sold it cheap on BST. I still have twice what I need, but at least it's more manageable than it was.

Oh man, don't even get me started. I have unopened soaps I've been wanting to try for over a year ... anxiously awaiting the day.

I swear, I will never buy another soap, honest!

 

[strop]

I feel much better now. Only 3 I haven't tried yet.

 

[7 O Menthol]

Not counting samples, my "untrieds" include....

C&E Sweet Almond Oil cream
C&E Sandalwood cream
Acca Kappa 1869 tub
p.160 tipo morbido
la toja stick
and Mike's Natural lemongrass...

I think I need to check one of these off the list tonight! Any suggestions?

I only have six, and they're all in my rotation. I'm a bad wetshaver.

I'm just starting out, and I'm accumulating soaps and creams way faster than I can use them. I'm (normally) pretty frugal, so I'm going to allow myself to order some MWF after my Tabac comes in....and then I'm cutting myself off (aside from picking up a bottle of Kiss my Face from the health food store once in a while...still a few good scents I want to try from that line, and they're so darn cheap and high quality).

 

[SiBurning]

Had 54 different products at one point. (Not even counting different scents.) Tried all of the 30 odd soaps, but gave up on creams before trying them all. Gave them away at a meet. Maybe you should host a local meet.

 

[mhdena]

I can't see having 30 different brands if that's what you mean.

I have 5-6 brands of soap with multiple scents within 2 brands, + 1 cream.

I do have refills of some of the multiple scent soaps.

It would be hard to like 30 brands equally, and IMO they can't all be the same quality or favored equally. I'd use what you haven't yet and keep the winners.

I usually have 6 or so in stock and rotate about 4 in any season (some I use more in cooler weather, some in warmer weather). I'd like to keep it to that number, so I'm trailing down my experimentation, I suspect the Santa Maria Novella that is on the way will be about the last soap cream I buy. As I have a nice spread of stuff (hard soap, soft soap, cream), all of which are high quality, I am getting less interested in trying more now, and just want to settle down.

I have probably tried, at least once, usually a couple times) at least 30 products. Many were samples from vendors or other members.

 

[FL shaver]

I haven't tried a couple of pucks of Classic Shaving soap that I was gifted (Candy Cane and Lemon Verbena) and a puck of VT Country Store Lime Musk, but I have at least sampled every other soap and cream in my possession including:

Williams
Vintage Williams
Old Spice
GFT Coconut, Rose, Violets

[AABCDS]

I've got over 100 soaps and creams and have not tried over half of them. Yes, I have a problem.

 

[BrookR1]

AABCDS...thanks for making me feel better about myself.

I still have a couple more that I still want to try out (MdC and DR Harris Windsor). After those, I'm done.

[Vlad]

Yeah, I know that it's crazy.

This is great news. Everyone, listen up! We are NORMAL. James is the crazy one. At least I'm only half as crazy.

I wasn't going to post in this thread, but now that you've exceeded my count, I don't feel so bad. Not counting samples, I have 40 different soaps & creams, 19 of which I have not tried yet. Included in those I have not tried yet, are 3 of the RazoRock La Famiglia soaps.

 

[Fairchild86]

I've currently got 3 creams and 6 soaps, but i have gone through far more than that.
Im trying to use up most of what I've got before buying any more. Its a good way to see what works best for you and what you'll be replacing in the future.
