How many creams is too many...

[Judge Dredd]

I currently have a steady rotation of 61 shaving creams in my den (no testers) - but I will be adding more soon, as I have 14 creams on order from Portugal (Brut, all the new MR's, TopSecret, Veleiro, La Toya, O Melhor, Floris 89 and some more I forgot now)

If you don't mind sharing with us, who is the Portuguese vendor that sells the Brut?

The Brut cream has got to be one of the hardest products to get hold of in shavedom (BNIBWT Fat Boy excluded).

When the medicine cabinet, closets, storage shed out back, and the Public Storage that you rent can hold no more creams. Then the next cream you buy is too much.

I have 12 in my rotation. I think I have enough for a while ..... maybe.

I don't believe this is a real question...it's only a rhetorical one, right? RIGHT?

to all the comments here. I see this subject as my weakness with DE shaving.

I have two razors and heaps of blades, but I feel the urge to buy more creams.

Seems like I have to have ALL of the ToOBS creams. Got 3 and counting!

Shaving is a bit of a "hobby" for me. I have a face and a big bald to shave daily, so I am not too concerned about having too many shaving creams. But in the context of the question, I will say to keep about six creams and three soaps on hand is about reasonable without going too overboard.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, once I got in my rhythm and took some of the serious advice, I figured out that 3-4 creams should be (for me) the optimal number of creams to own at one point, in order for it not to go bad. I find I don't use that much product to begin with, I only do 2 passes plus I usually shave every other day; been shaving every day because Im enjoying it so much but I think I should revert back to every other day once... Maybe not, lol.

I currently own, all tubs:

AK 1869
Omega 46001
TOBS avocado
Acqua di Parma

And also these two, but I'm planning on selling them:

TOBS lemon & lime
Razorock cacao

I had a tub of cella but I got rid of it because I didn't like its performance AND it smelled similarly to AK and RR cacao.

These are my soaps:

Pre de Provence
VDH luxury
Provence sante

I want a L'occitane puck, an MWF puck and an arko stick (gotta have some utilitarian stuff, lol) but I know I won't have any issues with soaps going bad.

I also want to get Penhaligon's BB and T&H sandalwood (or something with a similar scent) with the thought that BB will replace TOBS avocado from my main creams and knowing that Im only getting the T&H based on scent, however, according to a new thread on the GS forum, T&H sandalwood might soon come in soap format, which makes my life easier.

Thanks again for all the feedback.

I current have 14 creams in rotation as well as 4 soaps. I don't know if you can have too many, but I'm damn sure you can have too few!
