What do you do with soaps not likely to be used?

I reach for my 26mm 2 band badger and load as if my life depends on it

I never really got into the soap craze but the few I had I gave to a friend. I may have four or five stuffed into drawers somewhere. Eventually they may just get tossed. I face lather and only use sticks now and 90% of the time, I use Arko.

I suck it up and use it. Only one case where I couldn't do that because the soap burned my face. I sold that one on BST.

I want to try arko but sensitive skin and when I smell it at the local shop my eyes start to water and nose gets burning so every time I put it down ahhahahahahah

 

[SharpieB]

I know I smell that stuff every time I go to my local shaving shop and I just think old aunt or old grandma or 60s-70s- dude in tab collar psychedelic shirt and white bell bottoms with platform shoes and the long nice hippie haircut hahahahahahah

Smells more like this IMO.

YUP that is the ad and that put that image in my head I changed it a bit though hahahahaha

I mix them together & make frankensoap. I then always have a tub of soap I don’t mind using to break in my new brushes.

 

[bobmsp]

I PIF ’em.

 

[FoolishMortal]

PIF, trade or shower.

Well, my Gramma had a box labeled "String too short to save."

 

[Ravenonrock]

I found I wasn’t using shave sticks much, so I grated Speick, Wilkinson Sword and a partial puck of Williams Mug into a Frankensoap. All soaps I like mind you. If I truly don’t like it I don’t keep using it.

 

[Roedeer]

Only one was utterly tragic here, the Wilkinson Blue Bowl soap.

I evicted it, and used the good container for my home-made puck of Palmolive.

Proraso red: in the shower.

To answer the topic: it's soap, it's practically, universally useful and never meant to be thrown away.

Anyone's got something to clean at home. I still use part of the Vitos brick as saddle soap to wash leather shoes!

 

[SterFry]

Frankensoap, shower soap or brush break in duty (extra palm lathers) for my natural hair brushes

If a soap is not useful for shaving, then it goes to the bath.
