Love the brush. So many nice shapes and colours coming out but I still do love the plain white handles and the orange/butterscotch.

Great hand fell as well. Good value. Thx brother

New plan, initiated tonight.
I shall henceforth select my soap/croap/cream alphabetically, with the name of the "flavour" preferred for the sort order. That way I don't have a run of similar soaps (eg all TOBS or all RazoRock) several nights in a row. The easiest way to sort them was to lay them out in order on the bathroom floor and take a photo.

Tonight it was Fendrihan's "Aloe Water", at top left:

Thanks for sharing your plan. I'm fascinated by how we choose what to use each day. Do you ever delete soaps from your rotation because their smell has gone off, or their performance is sub par, or you've just grown bored of them? Do you have an upper limit to the number of soaps you will keep in rotation? Do you limit how many soaps you buy in a month or quarter? Do you retire a soap after so many years? (These are all questions that buzz through my head from time to time as I consider the best way to use up the ten pounds of shave soap I have stashed around the house.)

The best Barbershop scent in the business is Quartet from Sir Henrys Sundries.  Plenty slick.  Plenty easy.  Plenty awesome.
