I almost feel ashamed of how many I have tried but on the other hand I am glad I have experienced many because I can pass on the information I have gleaned from these soaps to you guys.

I ticked the 100-130 soaps. I have been wet shaving for three years for the past year my buying has slowed dramatically but not stopped. I probably average 2 soaps a month now but I see that decreasing as I feel I have reached a point where I am happy with my favourites. Working on the theory that in the first two years I averaged 5 soaps a month in that time I would have brought around 120 soaps.

I have forgotten a lot of what I have tried but when someone mentions it I remember what I have used it.

I will add that you definately don't need to buy/spend this much to enjoy this hobby it just so happens that I got an acquisition disorder for soaps Sad

And you do so very freely... it takes a bit of time to post thoughts/reviews and I appreciate all those who make the effort and share with the community.

Plus, you're one of "my guys" and when you say something is solid I am 90% sure it is going to be right up my alley as well Smile

Probably 30-35. I like creams and use them regularly.

Hundreds, literally. When I first started wet shaving I was curious about all the different options, plus I had a tendency toward collecting. And I went through a phase of using just creams, because of their convenience and my lack of skill. Eventually, after lots of trial and error, I identified what works best for me: vintage British tallow-based soaps. I still like to experiment a little bit and probably always will do so, just to see what the current fuss is all about, but my regular rotation has been reduced to 15-16 software items.

That's very kind of you to say Kevin, I like to think I have helped a few people out. We all have our niche and mines soap Wink

Currently I have 53 hard soaps, soft soaps and creams. I like them all except for two which I believe are the worst soaps I own. Edwin Jagger

Just under 50...In just under 2 years. Confused Many of them were PIFs or gifts, but that's the main reason why I'm on sabbatical this year.

I have (and I have used at least once) 120+ full size soaps, 60+ soap samples, 12 creams, 30+ cream samples. Before I started "trying and collecting" new products, when I used to go through one product at once, I had used 5 full size creams and 7 cream samples

I put between 101-130. Its a ton, a ton, but wow, I have no specifics on it. I think I own around 45-50 now but due to my skin irritations, I ended up going on a trial spree so lots and lots of sampling. Typically, a good sample leads to a full puck purchase.
