What's new or changing in your soap rotation?

Just curious on what new (to you anyway) soap(s) that have made it into your shaving rotation?

Feel free to let us know how they are performing, if you like.

I just finished off 2 soaps in the last couple of weeks. So here is the plan.

Haslinger Honey in the old spice mug is down to a thin ring around the bottem. Arko stick in a push up container is down to a nub and falling out when I use it to face lather.

So I pressed the Arko into the old spice mug to cover the bottom.

That makes room for a new stick for me to try. So Speick stick is going in. It should pair well with the Speick bath soap, aftershave splash & cologne I have. Plus Speik is a good springtime scent IMO.

Also going in is LNHC barber shoppe Shaving Cadre second anniversary limited edition.

Look forward to trying these 2 new soaps out!!
 
Rotation? That would imply some sort of order. My soap selections are haphazard at best. But right now, I’m using all Mystic Water Soaps, since that is the Vendor spotlight for this month, and I’m trying to follow the ABC theme.

I guess there different ways to interpret rotation that I didn't think about.

For me

What I mean by rotation is that I have 10 soaps currently in use in the den. I don't necessarily use them in any order. More of what I'm in the mood for at that moment. I try to use the soaps in this rotation until they are finished.



I also have a drawer with other soaps that I have yet to try, or are soaps I like to keep as back up's in my den rotation still in their packaging. They are harder soaps that shouldn't go bad on me. But I've noticed some loss of scent strength.

But I can see how others here may have a different way of using their soaps they have.
 
None, as I look at my small horde and realized it would take years to use them all up and to be frank there's nothing really new that is revolutionary. Strictly buying a few samples here & there for now.
 
I'm a lot like @ksblazer in that I have a drawer with my favorite/most used soaps, and another drawer with backups and ones that don't get used as much. I just grab whatever I feel like at the time or whatever the boss wants.
I'm also in a position like @Bogeyman where I'm not really looking to add anything at the moment. My 8 month old grandson will have some good stuff to choose from when he starts shaving just with what I have now. If I see something that I feel I just can't live without, I would get it, but I'm not actively looking.
 
My rotation has always been whatever strikes me that day as I am trying, without much success, to get through some pucks and clear up some space. But, like many of you, I have been blown away by Frank @Dragonsbeard ETHOS line and it has been front and center displacing previous favorites and so called premium soaps/AS. ETHOS is my winner and champion and with his upcoming releases it seems to be my SAD killer 🖖
 
Well..... new soap theme for May...... so that's what I'm going to try to be using. (Springs scents and LNHC)

Also have a couple New Zingari Man scetns headed my way.... That'll be new.
