How many pucks of soap do you have?

Sounds like taking the day for physical inventory

 

too many. I'm trying to thin out the stock and haven't added anything except to replenish my Palmolive menthol cream that I finished off.

 

what do you mean pucks?
I've got maybe ten. but many are unopened.
I prefer soaps in their own containers, are we counting those?
if so, maybe three dozen.

 

40-50, all in rotation. Like others, I see no reason to keep a soap moist. Besides, with that many soaps, it wouldn't be practical.

 

10-12 that I could put my hands on fairly quickly and 5-7 that are safely packed somewhere. I typically try to use a soap for at least a month before I change to another, but I have been known to use up several soaps over the past couple of years.


Edit, just looked them over and I have 19 different soaps.

 

I've got seven soap pucks, not including samples. I've got about as many creams as well I suppose. I usually alternate between soaps and creams and try to rotate more or less uniformly, but whatever sounds good on any given day.

 

All my parts are accounted for.

 

7 but only use 2 regularly (Tabac and MWF). The last couple days I have been planning to make January 2016 hard soap/boar only month. I love whipping up lather using a hard puck and face lathering. The old Semogue boars feel great on the face. February may be cream/badger. March may be soft soaps/mixed hair/bristle. Since I am doing the NB'16, this will give a feeling of getting "new" gear while still using the on-hand gear. I still have a couple or soaps on which to dispose.....just gotta figure out how. Can't trade (NB '16)...have to use what I have. That leaves sale/PIF.

Concerning choice - the decision is made at shave time. Maybe the same a couple days in a row or not. Decisions, decisions...

 

Why no trades? It's no "buy" not no trade. That's how I would see those rules.

 

Abacus located.
Pucks/Croaps in my current den = 46
1 tube of C.O. Bigelow (Proraso) cream.
And while we're counting...61 AS/EdT/Cologne/ASB
18 Razors
9 Brushes
Phew...that was exhilarating. And I didn't even count the razor blades.
Now you all may better understand my NB '16 commitment.

 

Four I guess... A fifth that's scheduled to be shipped off.

 

I have been thinning my den out. Currently I have 20 soaps, 12 creams, and 3 sticks. They are all in rotaion, but some "rotate" more than others.

 

2. One for me & one for the hubby.

 

52 in the bathroom.
Maybe 20 or so more boxed up in reserve.
I'd have to guess similar numbers for creams.

 

Thank you, John. I can add one more to my rotation

Hmmm... I didn't count my reserve. Those are duplicates of what I have in use in my rotation.

 

As the proud owner of three pucks I ask this question: Does the moisture dry out pucks and if so, does it create a problem in creating lather?

 

Moisture drying out a puck? Not quite sure I understand.
I shave in the morning. Leave the puck uncovered during the day, stash it in a zip lock bag in the evening, take out next soap up in the rotation for the next day's shave.
Never have a lathering issue.

 

I was referring to those with large numbers of pucks. If you rotate every day some guys won't touch a puck for months. Isn't easier to create lather with a well hydrated puck than a dried out puck? I hydrate a new puck for an easier time in creating lather.

 

I'm one of those with near 50 pucks, all in rotation. Like I said, no lathering issues. And I never hydrate a puck.

 

Good to know, now I ca collect.
