So guys….. what should be next for me? Thinking about a ck-6 or a kaizen base, but i am open for guidance

I used Kaizen for the first time two days ago. Soap guru @RayClem advised it, and some other soaps. Great soap.
Still: nothing beats Fine Accoutrements Snake Bite for me.

Looking at your list I would suggest...

maybe waiting awhile since you already have enough soap to last 8+ years!

Mitchell's Wool Fat

How about something from Klar Seifen?

I've got a bath soap from Klar. And even though it's for men it doesn't smell very masculine. I never tried their shaving soaps though. How is the scents?

 

[borwish]

In no particular order.

Captain's Choice Bay Rum
Stirling's Stirling Gentleman
Proraso red
PdP 63
Heritage Hill sandalwood

Captain's Choice and Stirling are about tied for largest portion of my soaps. I have multiple scents from both and they are both forum favorites and are better priced soaps. Proraso red, especially in the tube, works every single time and will give a good lather no matter what. PdP is cheap, smells great, and works wonderfully. Heritage Hill comes out with a very rich and soothing lather---must be the added butters.

I've got a bath soap from Klar. And even though it's for men it doesn't smell very masculine. I never tried their shaving soaps though. How is the scents?

There are several scents available, I've tried the Classic and the Sandalwood. Have not tried Sport & Lemongrass. Classic is a spicy citrus & leather type scent. I'd say it's masculine, but not overbearing & not a cologne dupe. Sandalwood is similar, with a more woody note to it instead of leather.

I really like the lather from this soap, it works well for me. The tin is small, so I put the soap into a shaving mug, it's much easier to use that way. Also, this soap is really dense & lasts a long time.

If you're a Vetiver/fougere fan, and a fan of A&E their Vetiver Magnifique is really good. It reminds me of Guerlain. Also Shannon's soaps forest city Fern is a nice fairly dark fougere.
