    My normal rotation is ARKO. :happy097: Every once in a blue moon I'll use something else that's just sitting on my shelf collecting dust just to use it. :)

    One time I made it through a complete rotation of my ridiculously large soap stash (44 :scared003:) Way too complicated. Now, in my new home, my soaps aren't even all within eyeshot :angry019: so I just grab one. I am on the lookout for a display case that will handle my entire collection...:D

    What was complicated? Use one, put it at the end of the line, next one up.

    I still have many soaps and creams after getting rid of a huge number of others.

    These days for me it's mainly:

    Stirling
    Krampert's
    OSP
    First Canadian
    As well as whatever I think of using.

    I don't really have a rotation. I usually choose a soap to use when my current one runs out. Right now I'm using Sir Hare, but when that runs our I plan on ordering MWF. I never really thought about keeping multiple soaps, but that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

    I have a fair number of soaps/ creams. I am a serendipitous type person, so logical, methodical soap rotation would cause me undue stress.:) So I usually make the decision while I’m soaking in the shower.

    No particular order for me. I can't think that far ahead and plan a soap/cream rotation and be meticulous about it. I have a hard time as it is rotating my razors and figuring out what I'm going to use next. But, I do have those that I am very reluctant to stop using on a regular because they provide a great scent, lather, slickness and protection above others that I have:

    B&M (Seville)
    Stone Cottage (Leather&Smoke, Coconut Sandalwood, Suede de Kashmir)
    WSP Formula T (Mahogany, BlackBeard, Ol' Kentucky, Barbershop, Sandalwood)
    WSP Rustic (Black Amber Vanille)
    Alvarez Gomez Aqua de Colonia
    Shannon's Soaps (Silk Pajamas, Lady Luck)
    Asylum Shave Works (Neroli&Black Pepper, Frankincense &Myrrh)
    Deluxe Shaving Co. (Doo-Wop)
    AoS Kingsman LE (Bourbon)

    I reserve the right to alter/change this list as more soaps/creams are brought forth from countless artisans....... Plus a few others I'm planning on acquiring in the very near future. Such as Grooming Dept., Tallow & Steel, L&L Grooming, Fitjar, La Pere Lucien and Blah blah blah....... I have no shame.

    Stirling Executive Man

    Stirling Agar
    Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
    Stirling Mountain Man

    ... there seems to be a trend here.

    Not a true rotation, I mainly used Exectuive Man but since my wife got me pumpkin spice Ive been wearing that bad boy out.

    I dont have a set rotation. I buy soaps and use 1 until its gone, then I go into the closet and pull out another one.

    That's the beauty of a rotation - no need to plan ahead, no lost time trying to figure out what to use, just grab the next one up, use it, put it at the end, next one up.

    I have tons of soaps, and I select them based largely upon whim and weather conditions. I typically don't use many mentholated items this time of year, but I use them 90% of the time or more during the warm months (I live in Texas, so that means 10 months out of the year, lol)

    AOS sandalwood tallow

    SV Felce Aromatica

    I don’t have a rotation. I just use whatever I am in the mood for. If I can’t decide, I pick the six I most want to use, and roll a die.
