My notion of fidelity begins and ends with my wife. I've got over 30 shaving soaps, and about 10 creams, and keep looking for new stuff to try. I love many brands, but am "faithful" to none!
Does anybody here use one soap exclusively?

Yep, only one soap/day. And I plan on sticking with it!

I use a different soap every day. Very rarely I'll use the same soap two or more days in a row, but it's usually when I'm on vacation.
I have learned that 3017ing soaps and creams certainly cures SSAD. At least for me.
Arko, just Arko 
Thought the cabinet has three creams.

Yup -- always have. If I want to try a new soap it is put into the queue.

I guess I had had gotten so used to it being there that I'd forgotten about it. Lot's of good in that thread!

Which 4, if I may ask?
I've always wanted to just that..once soap/cream at a time, but I can never quite commit to it. So I just randomly use whatever I feel like on the given day, but I am in a few restraints so not purchasing anything new. At least I can use up some of what I have that way before adding more to the pile.
Well, since I just started out wet shaving, I'm only using VDH soap. I figured I'll try and get good with one before I move on.

^this^ it gives me enough time to put the soap through my brush rotation & a few razors to enjoy different combinations.
After close to 2 years of trying out and using different software everyday, I finally joined up for Speicktember this month. Still early days I know but I find myself enjoying the ritual much more by using just the single product till it's done. A fledgling 3017er in the making

Never really understood using different stuff everyday. I tend to go through long bouts of using one product, then eventually move onto another.
In 2010 I used Art of Shaving Cream, then 2011 the Soap for a year just about straight. I tried a few others but they were terrible. (TOBS terribly ordinary burning soap). 2012 MWF, 2013 more MWF, then eventually made it onto Trumpers Coconut. Great Stuff.
Now I'm onto MdC. I imagine it'll be sometime before I try something different other than traveling with Speick.
The 3017'ers seem to actually rush to finish their soaps. Its obscene how much product gets used!

Virtually impossible to stick with one soap. That's like brushing your teeth with one kind of toothpaste everyday which is pretty much a regular chore. I view my wet shaving as a calming therapeutic experience instead of a regular chore ( plus I like the many variations I can choose shaving with different soaps, razors, blades....
I'd say there is absolutely no shame in rotating soaps. In fact i would advocate it! You don't wear the same thing everyday, do you? It's just like picking out your clothes for the day, which cologne to wear, and even what you'll have for breakfast. It's all just how you are feeling that day. 
I'm down to 8 soaps in my rotation with four refills in ready. Right now I am using one soap for an entire week. I started doing this when I had a little bit of Cella left and wanted to use it up. It took me two weeks. Now I have the remains of MWF, Bergamot Neroli, and Monsavon and plan to use them up - or attempt to - within the next month or so.
Experimenting doesn't lead to lust, it leads to dissapointment!
I use a different soap everyday. However I think I am going to stick with one soap per week and really work on dialing my soaps in. Plus if I use up a soap I HAVE TO replace it right???
