How many soaps in your rotation

[Tom Ford]

Since I started straight shaving I have gone through the whole SSAD, and this morning going through the herd I realized I have 9 soaps, and 5 creams = 14 products, a two week rotation.

I'm curious to know how many soaps/creams others have in your rotation?

Don't be shy now.....

 

[JPM]

I have 8 Mama Bear's soaps, a Tabac, an MWF, a Nutmeg and Fig, a Classic Shaving Almond soap, 5 Ogallala Bay Rum soaps (all the scents) and 12 creams.

Yikes! I didn't realize I had so many until I started counting in my head. Time to get shaving!

 

[kingfisher]

I'm trying to work through them right now, rather than purchase more.

Soap-wise, I currently have the following:

Saint Charles Shave Candy Cane
Mama Bear Spicey Lime
Mama Bear Frankincense and Myrrh
VDH Deluxe
VDH Select/KMF unscented SCREAM with Penhaligon's Endymion for scent
Provence Sante Green Tea


And that's it!

 

[jgjoneslaw]

Let's see I have Tabac, MWF, Prairie Creations, VDH Select, Deluxe, and Glycerine, and Colonel Conk Amber.

QED Vetiver Sandalwood

I've seen QED Vetiver and QED Sandalwood, but never QED Vetiver Sandalwood. Is it for real?

 

[BobK1]

Well, I'm not doing too bad, only 58 soaps and 8 creams in current rotation, a few more soaps and creams not in rotation, and a couple of spares. With this supply they should last quite a long time. It takes over two months before I get to revisit any of them, unless I break the "schedule" for some special reason.

I do not have a problem.... I do not have a problem..... I do not have a problem.... (gotta keep saying that to myself)

YMMV

[tlanning]

I really thought over 2 weeks between uses of soaps and creams indicated I could have a problem--------NAAAAAAA, I'm good

Wow!..I don't do any schedule...I just reach under the sink and let karma decide mostly.
