    Default Rotation of sents and soaps

    I got thinking this morning as I looked at my collection of soaps and AS I thought how do you all no what to rotate to? I only have three soaps and six AS and I cant figure out a rotation so I just go with what ever I feel like in the morning. what is your strategy how do you decide what to use each day?

    No strategy unlike yours. Go with whatever I feel like.

    I know some guys have pretty set rotations going on. I just go with whatever I feel like using. There are some soaps and creams that form a sort of core for the week, but those change too as I get new stuff or rediscover things that got pushed into the corners. Part of the fun to me...

    I've lost count but I've got over a dozen soaps and creams not including samples. I usually decide in the shower and it's totally impulsive. A few things are not being used these days but there's still at least 6-7 products used regularly. Some things you buy to try and they end up being meh for you. For me, one of them is MWF and another is Conk bay rum. They both work fine but I like other stuff better.

    A rotation would be nice, I suppose. I just pick whatever I feel like using that day.

    Sounds like we all pretty much do the same thing, I just thought there was more of a science to it. but thats just my OCD kicking in. I so enjoy my scents and morning shaves.

    Even those of us that began life with Visicalc reach a point where it becomes a morning whim. You can only analyze so much and then its time to kick back and enjoy your morning.

    I just throw a dart at my collection. Whichever container breaks...that's the one I'm using .

    I do what the voice in my head tells me. It tells me to use Palmolive soap & sometimes AOS lavender.

    No strategy. I just look and see what I'm in the mood for.

    My rotation is a bit weird maybe, but I just decide on a soap or cream
    & use it for 2-3 days.

    I like to think about it in the shower both what my soap/cream of choice will be as well as what scent cologne I'm in the mood for.

    I was choosing on my whim, but then I decided there are certain soaps I wanted to use semi-regularly. I'll pick one to use for half a week, then pick at random the other half. The next week might see a new main soap, and the rest picked at random.

    Then I got my hands on a sample of Mystic River shaving soap and that's all I've used since.

    No set rotation. It is all based on the scent I am in the mood for on any given day.

    Whatever I feel like though sometimes I will use something I may not be cracked on that day but feel obligated to give it a go.
