And FYI the ARKO stick is on the porch for two weeks in preparation to be used... :whistling:

Please give me one better than the above and who you would replace :) I would replace one and substitute if your fighter can beat mine L(
 
I'm currently working on a Frankensoap mix of the end of a Speick stick and a sample of Wickham Super Smooth. I also have a jar of Martin de Candre on the go and a fresh Lea stick in the travel bag.
 
No real rotation, just whatever I feel like using at the time.

These four have been getting a lot of love lately;
Proraso green tub
Razorock Lime (love the scent of this)
La Toja stick (transferred to pyrex bowl)
Taconic Lime & Tequila

These will see more action come summer;
Krampert's Finest Frostbite (just purchased, used for the first time today. Nice!)
TOBS Peppermint
Razorock Fresco

These get used occasionally;
Razorock Don Marco
Cella red tub
Tabac
Lea stick

Soaps in rotation
- D R Harris Almond
- Proraso Menthol

Not in rotation
- MWF
- Lea Stick
- Nannys Silly Soap Signature
- Palmolive classic stick
- Palmolive classic cream
 
I only have ~2 months worth of wet shaving experience under my belt, but here is what I have in rotation thus far:

1. Stirling Soap Co. Orange Chill Soap
2. L’Occitane en Provence Cade Soap
3. Wm. Neumann & Co. 1911 Soap
4. Wm. Neumann & Co. Bay Rum Soap

Recently, I tried the following QCS types:

1. Rose Otto
2. Caymen
3. Basilica
4. Celestial Woods

In the next week or so I will be trying the following Stirling Soaps:

1. Glastonbury
2. Port-Au-Prince
3. Nag Champa

and the following Mike's Natural Soaps:

1. Rose & Cedarwood
2. Pine & Cedarwood
3. Vetiver

Since I really like the smell of rose I will likely add either QCS Rose Otto or Mike's Natural Soaps Rose & Cedarwood to my rotation.

I also really like the QCS Basilica and Celestial Woods, but I am waiting to see whether I like any of the other Stirling Soaps or Mike's Natural Soaps in the line-up better.

I like to limit my rotation to four soaps at a time.

Right now:

Mama Bear Awakenings
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Napa Soap Vintner's Blend
Pirate's Cove Sandalwood.

I consider this a very high quality group.

Saying you have a lot of soap would be an understatement here
 
I'm a bit of a shaving minimalist. I only have two soaps I rotate between:

- Cella from the kilo brick

- RazoRock P.160

Both provide my face with wonderfully cushioned, slick, and protective shaves that no other soaps have yet to provide.
