There's certainly nothing wrong with that. I prefer to have a few more products on hand, but I do periodically pare down the collection.

I was well on my way to a collection a year or so ago, but then I stopped and pared down. I'll be back I'm sure, but I am enjoying the minimalist phase at the moment. It's way more fun to have 10 choices if you've lived a good while with one!
 
Creams - 9

Salter's - Almond, Citrus, Mint
C&E - SAO
Trumper's - Rose
AOS - Lavender

Very small compared to Jay, Joel and some others, but a good variety nevertheless.
 
To Jay, Joel, and you others with, say, 30 plus choices of soaps and creams in the morning:

You have more than you can use once in a month, unless you shave morning and evening. How in the world do you decide what to use when you get up in the morning? I would think that you must have 2 or 3, or in your case, maybe 7 to 10 "go to" soaps and creams, with only a little of the many other choices thrown in on a weekend maybe.

Minimalist living is my next goal. Hopefully the big house sells soon.

Although I have tried many, at this point I have zero soaps and one cream - Proraso Red, and no after shave. And I plan on keeping it that way. I hate the scented stuff and I generally like to keep things simple. I only have one brush as well. I love wet shaving, not so much the accumulation of bathroom junk. Not that having 14 creams is 'junk' per se, it's just a personal preference.

I hear you brotha.. I've got 5 soaps and I might sell a few.

1 HBS Vanilla Oak
1 QED Wild Rose
1 QED Grapefruit and Peppermint
1 Tabac
1 MWF
