I have about 25 soaps and about 10 creams. I think it might be too many, but I just can't decide which one I like best!
How Many Shaving Soaps are you rotating ?

Almost embarrassed to post my meager list. But I kind of like just staying with just a couple for now (sort of like staying with just one brand of gasoline for my car).
Edwin Jagger Limes & Pomegranate cream
Ogallala Bay Rum soap

1.01 Almost strictly MWF...but I switch to Mike's on occasion, sometimes a very nice tallow/lanolin soap one of our brothers made. When I travel I face lather da Fat, but I also carry a cream, currently: Godrej, Tabac, or my last tube of Irisch Moos (sigh). And I also have sticks of La Toja and Arko. All fitting into that .01. I used Tabac to face lather, my last day in Chicago. Love the scent.
I'm pretty much just using MdC Fougere. I do also have a 1/2 puck of QCS Celestial Woods and a small sample of MdC scented, but 99% of the time the Fougere gets called up.
I soft rotate D.R. Harris Arlington, Windsor, Cella, MWF, and Tabac mostly.
It's funny to think about because before DE I used one can of foam or gel until it ran out then got a new one. Now it's rotated between white Proraso, green Proraso, Smolder from Shaving Den, Cella, and a few samples of other stuff. But still want to get some Stirling and Mike's.
Between soaps and creams I pick out 3 for each month. This month is e jagger aloe, e jagger seabuckthorn (a cream now so hard I use it like a soap), and MW Lilac.
Total I have 5 full size soaps (and maybe a 4 samples) and 11 full size creams (and maybe another half dozen samples).

I keep FOUR soaps total on hand at all times. When I finish one, I buy another so that I always have 4. I have no creams and haven't use creams in several years.
right now the 4 are:
1) MW Rosalimone (one of my favorite scents of all time)
2) Stirling Grapefruit (refreshing)
3) RazoRock XX (nice cologne scent)
4) RazoRock San Valentino (bought it 'cause I love Rosalimone, but the scent is totally different, but still nice)

Two soaps (Tabac and Proraso Green. Would have been 3, but I just polished off the last of the Mama Bear Dragon Blood) and 3 TOBS Creams (Sandalwood, Eton College, Jermyn St.). I don't particularly like the sandalwood, but I keep it in rotation mainly by mixing it with one of my soaps to help the lather.
I'm a minimalist. Two Soaps and Two creams. Mostly because one soap and one cream were low, so I bought another. I do like to swith around, but only 1-2 at a time. I buy it, use it, then buy something else! I'll sometimes get some for x-mas or birthday, so that bumps me to 3-4 (and I think, "Good Lord, how am I going to use all this stuff?" But I always do. 
Cella, Proraso Red, & VDH
I have 12. Normally I rotate about five of them.
Fifteen soaps, two creams and a shave stick currently with four more soaps in the mail from Italian Barber.
Generally 4: TOBS Sandalwood / Eton College / St. Jermyn St. and VdH Luxury Scented
