How many soaps do you have?

Hold that thought...your wallet will thank you. This PSA brought to you by AD's Anonymous.

 

I hope I can hold out, my wallet can't afford an addiction.

 

Go to the "freebies" page and sign up for a PIF (pay it forward). A pif gives free items away...often soaps.

 

Down to only a hundred now. Including my Stirlings.

 

By the way my friends,

I haven't sold any of these soaps. I just decided that I can no longer keep such a huge stash so I decided to give away the majority. From the non-Stirling soaps remaining I'll have to throw away a lot because they're used - can't give away used stuff. I'll keep certain ones here for myself because I still enjoy them now and then.

 

That's not a bad thing. It lets you develop the skills and techniques needed without the distraction of too many changes. What is your set up? Wait! Don't answer here...
Stop by The Welcome Center and make your introduction. Then visit The Newbie Giveaway for a chance at Fabulous Prizes ( Read the rules to be sure you qualify).
If you are looking for tips, tricks, pointers, advice, opinions, or actual Information - I'd invite you to look into The 30 Day Rule/Focus Group. Bunch of New shavers trying Vintage gear & Vintage shavers learning New gear. There may be shenanigans...

 

I have a mostly used up Deluxe VDH, four pucks of Williams (one in the mug labeled GERMS from the Health Museum in Houston), one Palmolive stick, one bowl of Wilkinson Sword, and about six/seven sticks of ARKO left out of a case. No shaving cream or gel left (canned). No shaving creams at all.

I guess I make up for my lack of SAD with my RAD.

 

I agree with you

One is all you need, I keep it interesting and I have three. Two more than I need.

I started by using Dove soap ... it works, but I was happy when I bought a few samples from Stirling. Haven't ventured to far from them. Yes, they're that good!

Margaritas in the Arctic
Lime
Ozark Mountain
Gin and Tonic
All excellent to try and samples are very affordable.

 

I'm doing better, down to about 30 stacks now---some stacks are quite high though.

 

Too much.
But not enough...

 

Probably about 25 or so.

I was at about 30 plus or minus. Just got back from a 30 day coast to coast road trip. Stopped at Maggard's in Michigan for their wet shaving meet up on May 13. Bought a few more items including more soap (see photo). Have no idea how many soaps I have now. As I have said before - when it compares to my other hobbies - shaving is pretty minor. If I don't indulge now - when will I? Ain't getting any younger.

 

+1 I'm with ya there Col.

 

I completely understand. I am trying to justify Getting the L&L Grooming Mayflower set.

 

Do you have any of it yet? If not, there's your justification!

 

I got rid of twenty more soaps this morning. Old ones that I threw away.

My remaining stash consists of these non-Stirling soaps :

1x Razorock One X
1x Soap Smooth Frozen Cranberry
1x Proraso Green
2x Arko sticks
1x Erasmic bowl
1x Tabac stick
A couple of other things and that's it!
