How many?

How many different soaps and creams do you have in your rotation?

EDIT: If you have multiple "flavours" from individual manufactures, I think you must count each as a separate one...

Now you're going to go and make me count.

Not counting samples, or stuff I basically never use: 11.

2 Mystic Waters
2 RazoRocks
2 Mama Bears
1 DRHarris
1 Spencer & Devon
1 Cade
1 Arko
1 Mike's Natural Soaps

Soaps, just three:

MWF
TABAC
Proraso Green - New Formula

Creams:

Proraso Green - Both old and new formula
Speick
Palmolive Classic
Palmolive Menthol
Nivea
GFT
GFT Limes

That's it. A very small collection.

2. EJ Sandalwood
3. DRH Marlborough
4. TOBS Jermyn St.
5. DRH Arlington
6. Tabac
7. Barber's Saloon (Klar's Kabinett)
8. Provence Sante Green Tea
9. eShave Linden
10. Proraso
11. GFT Rose
12. Pre de Provence

CREAMS
1. T&H 1805
2. GFT Eucris
3. TOBS St. James
4. Proraso

What's your tally, Ben?

Exactly why I didn't post the "How many brushes in your stable thread?"

I will have to go count.

I have a small rotation, but a bit of stockpile of "yet to try!"

It is like the holes in Albert Hall...I never bothered to count them all.

At least you have a legitimate excuse... Can't recommend a product unless you've tried it!

Well, in case you ever ask, I have 8 little piggies.

Ditto. And I'm afraid to do so.

Here's the poll I did on this a little while ago. It will be interesting to see how it's changed for some of us.

How Many do you have?

Ah, missed that thread! Let's see if collections have expanded, I'm guessing they have...

Only... It's probably easier for you to list the ones you DON"T have!

MWF
TABAC
Arko
Cella
Valobra Shave Stick
Williams
Omega Tub
Proraso Cream
C O Bigelow

That's it (not much "rotation", primarily the first three soaps)!

To tell the truth Nick, I was surprised to see the last three on your list. Actually I can't remember when I saw anything other than the first three.

Just 3 here;

Valobra Soap
Valobra Menthol Soap
Nannys 'Soapy'

All excellent.

Next up, Cella and DR Harris Marlborough.
