    I'm working towards about the same number. Currently I don't have any soaps that I flat out don't like, but have a few that I am not excited about when they come up in the rotation. Those are the ones I have been targeting to use up. Once I finish off a few more of those, I will be going to the oldest ones next. Life is hard when you have too many soaps.

    Unrelated news, I just signed up in the Secret Santa thread. Anyone else here signing up to get more stuff they don't need?

    He still had a pretty good stack when I left. The soap is in a 3 ounce container and the AS is more of a sample size but he was handing them out for free - which is a detail I left out. Probably worth checking with him.

    Congrats! I'm sure that took lots of work. Since we have diverted all the cookies to Randy's house, I'm sure that is helping your goals.

    Just threw my name in the ring too. Now to decide what I really want or would like to have. A couple of years ago my "santa list" would have filled a page. Not so much anymore.

    Razor: Schick G
    Blade: Personna PTFE (1st use)
    Brush: Ever Ready w/ 24mm Tuxedo knot
    Soap: Palmolive
    Post Shave: Nivea Sensitive

    The lather that I am getting from the Palmolive (which I have put into a tin) with the 24mm Tuxedo knot is staggering! Then painting on my face is the height of luxury - the bristles are exquisite! I gave the Schick a bath before changing the blade, and I'm sure that it's NOS (thanks again @Screwtape)! I did my 'new' 2 and a half pass shave. 1st pass = N-S (WTG on face/ATG on neck/XTG on jaw). 2nd pass = S-N (ATG on face/WTG on neck/XTG on jaw). 3rd pass = Ear to nose (XTG on face/ATG on jaw) leave the neck well alone in this pass. There was a little buffing here and there, but the slickness of the Palmolive ensures comfort there! I ended up with an incredibly smooth shave... BBS on cheeks, chin and jawline in fact. DFS on my neck.

    Enjoy your shaves gents!
