Wanna keep it that way, only renewing or changing when one is finished.
Got rid of all the others I had, it felt like I was newer really dialing into each soap and never
really gave samples a real chance when I had too much.
Wife intervened at 50+ soaps.
SAD in remission.
Now at 12 soaps, soon to be 11.
CRSW Oliva unscented
CRSW Oliva Siberian Fir
CRSW Select
2 Speick cream
3 Savon de bon Berger
Barrister & Mann Seville
Jabonman Mediterraneo
Boellis Panama
Wholly Kaw Siero unscented
I have three: Proraso (Blue) cream, Proraso Single Blade (cream) and Stirling Sheep. They all get used on a regular basis though not in any particular order; I just grab whichever one appeals to me at the moment.
Here’s my list:
Tabac
PdP no. 63
L’occitane Cade
Proraso red
Proraso white
Captains Choice Nor’easter
Vintage Williams
Stirling Coconut Lime
Leather & Wood Barbershop
The Captain’s Choice is probably the next one that will be finished—which is a dilemma. I’d like to get down to 5 soaps, but Nor’easter is a favorite that I’ll want to buy again. As we move to spring, I’ll probably start rotating Stirling and Proraso white in through summer.
I have started wet shaving last November, of course I fell into the rabbit hole and now have 10 soaps:
Proraso Red cream
Proraso Blue cream
Proraso Green cream
Proraso White cream
Eucris cream
TOBS: Coconut cream
TOBS: Sandalwood soap
Cella Red
Tabac
The Good Fellas Smile: Shibusa 2
I think I will empty most of them before I get another one, I'm already having too much soap.
My favorites this far are Eucris, Proraso Red and TOBS Coconut, Shibusa 2 is great too.

After the February GRUME, SAD hit hard and I bought 7 Palmolive sticks, 2 La Toja sticks, 1 Wilkinson Sword stick, 1 Mitchell Wool Fat puck and 2 Dr Harris refill, Arlington and Windsor.
But I gave away some soaps and creams.
I don't have a list, but would guess in the 125 range, not including samples or cheap tubes or sticks. Way too many as I only use 10-15 on a regular basis. I bet 30-40 have never been opened. Half the fun is supporting small business whether I use the product or not.
Some of my favorites are from SV, Murphy and McNeil and Mike's Natural
I hate having lots of different soaps. I have half tin SV cosmos, and a block of cella which I break a bit off when needed. However, I recently bought a hard Trumper rose which I found impossible to get a decent lather. So,I grated it and mixed it with equal amount of cella. Result, 2 tubs of really excellent new soap.
