How many soaps in ACTIVE rotation?

[inspectoring]

Just curious - how many soaps are you guys currently using? Excluding the hogged ones...

 

[Evbo]

At the moment I'm only using one -- Harris Arlington -- in honor of JulArlington. But normally I use ... uh ... a few more than that.

 

[markb]

The three main ones (used most often)

• Mitchell's Wool Fat
• TABAC
• Cella

Others that are used regularly

• Mama Bear's Aged Spice
• Trumper's Sandalwood
• D.R. Harris Arlington

Lately I've brought out the shave sticks

• Erasmic
• Speick
• Palmolive

Getting ready to go on a business trip and I plan on taking several with me.. The Erasmic & Palmolive are definites but I may leave the Speick behind.

Last unofficial count had me rotating more than 10 soaps.

Last unofficial count had me rotating more than 10 soaps.

How many time as day do you shave?

I use one for 2-3 days and then move-on to another. Right now, my rotation consists of Santa Maria Novella, Musgo Real, Provence Sante and Speick.

Tabac and Cella. MWF and Arko Stick shall be entering the rotation.

 

[tlanning]

Wow, thought I'd be in the minority using only 2. But there my favorites. I use a cream 1 day and soap the next. I rotate Tabac and GFT Almond

 

[Plott]

Voted five. MWF, Tabac, MB Awakenings, GFT Limes and the new QED Sandalwood all hits my face quite often.

Palmolive and Erasmic are also fine contenders.

I'm still experimenting, so I'm not sure if I can call it an active rotation, but here's what I've been using as of late:

• Penhaligon's English Fern: My favorite so far.
• Art of Shaving Lavender: My first use was today, and I am very impressed.
• Kent (MWF): Good lather, good soap.
• DR Harris Arlington: Good soap, but I'm not overly fond of the scent.
• Provence Santé: Very moisturizing.
• Tabac: A solid performer, and I do like the scent--I don't know why I don't use this one more often.

I voted 5 only because I've been doing some DIY glycerin soap experiments, it's usually 2-3.

 

[Dustinl]

I have 17 Mama Bear's soaps that I rotate thru. I like having the variety of scents and I use the one that happens to appeal to me on that particular day.

If I hadn't won the B&B Smallflower.com raffle, I would probably only have one or two soaps and one or two creams in rotation. I just don't like a lot of clutter and have this thing about finishing products. But thanks to the raffle I have an abundance of choices:

• L'Occitane Cade
• Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood
• Valobra Almond Soft Soap
• Speick Shave Stick

Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet - Mondays only
Proraso Green Tub - Best Menthol
DR Harris Arlington
MWF
AoS Lemon SS - best of the bunch for efficacy IMHO
TGQ Desert Ironwood - my favorite soap scent
TGQ Leatherneck
TGQ Highlander
Col Conk Amber
Sir Irisch Moos Shave Stick - travel only

 

[physiognomy]

Being new I am still trying to rotate through the different creams I have on hand, but I think I will eventually settle on soaps mainly. I just seems like I get a better, longer lasting lather without hardly using any product. I'm currently rotating between Tabac (my favorite so far!) and the little blue Godrej shaving round for when I'm on the road (quite a bit lately).

 

[jpkunst]

Just one -- Tabac.

 

[The National Razor]

I have 4 right now--Tabac, MWF/Kent, Pre de Provence, and Mama Bear Dragon Tears. I will be getting Cella as soon as possible.

I also have 1 cream--TOBS Avocado.

 

[RBE17]

Right now it's Tabac, VDH and some stuff from Classic Shaving. I just ordered some soap samples, but they don't count as I'm just trying them out.

Being a newbie to DE shaving I only hold one soap and two creams

Proraso with Aloe & Green Tea
Edwin Jagger Sandalwood Premium Shaving Cream (I'll be using this for travel)
Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort Shaving Cream

On my wishlist is:
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Fitja shaving soap or cream (still undecided to scent)
Tabac

 

[Gogo]

For me I use shave sticks a lot. I have Irisch Moos, Arko and I turned my Tabac into shave stick. I also use MWF a lot more now that I think I've figured it out.
