Soaps that will NEVER leave the den?

Which ones will you always have in the den, or restock when empty? Ones that would make your den incomplete if you no longer had them.

As for me & my den, we will always have B&M Reserve (the whole lineup). After that its Tabac, Fine AB, WSP Olympus Formula T, WK King of Oud, Midnight & Two Provence, Shannon's Bay Patchouli Grapefruit, & Sudsy Soapery's Citrus & Bay. Without these my den just wouldn't be the same!

Now I have yet to try either CBL Soaps or Lisa's Natural, but from the reviews here at the Cadre I'll add that without trying them my den is currently incomplete.
 
This thread is gonna get deep fast.

DG Icarus, WK donkey milk, LNHC, CBL, CFG GTB, SV, Fine Platinum, Mystic Waters.

not really scent specific on most just those are the bases that my den wouldn’t be complete without.

Still so many I want to try...NO, WK, DG, Fine, MW, SV...

For now I guess it’s CBL, LNHC, some kind of Italian almond soap, and SS. I’d say GD too, but that would probably depend on him making Absinthe & Leather again, which I don’t think is happening.

Making my own soap eventually still interests me too...
 
I love a few brands but I can't say my den would be incomplete if I finish them off and did not restock. There are just too many quality new products out there right now that I would love an excuse to purchase. But gun to my head I would say Mystic Water Egyptian Dragon.

A&E SoCal Hipster
A&E Signature
B&M Adagio (only have one tub, not going to be made anymore, so have to MILK it!)

CBL Rosa Bourbonia

SV Opuntia
Stirling Christmas Eve
B&M Vespers

A&E Grecian Horse
A&E Summer Fig
A&E Asian Plum

WK Fern Concerto
Soap Commander Endurance

MdC Fougere
SV Stella Alpina

I have been thinking long and hard about this thread. And well I am prepared to answer. And some might be shocked.I currently have just under 300 soaps in my den. And have used over 500.

And honestly speaking I think I will always have our vendors soaps on hand, Soap Commander, and some form of a shave stick most like La Toja. If I could rotate between our vendors and the other two I mentioned I would be perfectly happy.
 
I haven't been responding to this, because I'm not sure on my answer. There is so much new stuff coming out all the time, I realistically think there are none or very few that I would go back to repurchase instead of enjoying what has come out since. The possible ones are GTB and Opuntia.
