I can remember my first introduction to "new" shaving soap hype. I'm sure there are many here who have seen this in cycles but for me it was the launch of the popularity of panna crema. Those varieties were almost unobtainable at first and some folks were getting time zone alerts.
I had missed the boat on the AOS reformulation and was eagerly scouring any mention of where i could find a tallow puck such was the thrill of unobtanium. Then came dabbling with Mike's, B&M, Stirling(older generations).
Fast forward to now and the plethora of artisan shaving soaps available. I guess my question is: are you like me, are you pretty much done?
I have so many soaps and creams at this stage that will easily last a decade. I cannot think of a scent, soap characterictic or any other "must have" criteria that will cause me the same enthusiasm i once had. Have we seen the peak of the shaving soap boom?
