I treat it just like anything else in life. There are times of fasting and times of feasting. I do no-buys every once in a while and it helps my interest to build up again while I spend some time enjoying the stuff I already have. I did a full year once. While doing that I build up some budget and do some research to strategically plan out my feasting period.

What soaps are you using Lee? I need some enabling as I'm running out of steam a bit.
My current rotation is Speick Stick, Eco Warrior, Monsavon and Signature Soaps. So the only Artisan I'm using is Signature.What soaps are you using Lee? I need some enabling as I'm running out of steam a bit.

Thank you, I am somewhat relieved that two of them I already use ... I will do a little delving.

Well said Toby. Touché.You could toast them.
Signature's going to be a repeat buy for me, top stuff.
I like the simplicity of it... Nice simple scents and top notch performance.

Absolutely nothing wrong with some of the "Classic" soaps and creams. Many people can get sidetracked by the latest and greatest artisan offerings but it's always nice to revisit the "Classics".
I actually used Cyril R Salter Soap the other day, and while it doesn't contain three thousand "butters" and "oils" it made a perfectly good lather. Scent is completely inoffensive (mild lavender) and post shave was perfectly fine. This is a £4 soap don't forget. I seem to remember Erasmic soap was pretty decent too.
I think for new shavers they should look at soaps like that, Speick, Tabac, Monsavon, Vitos ect..otherwise it can be an absolute minefield. There are tons of others too.
It's funny to think that when I started wet shaving, in terms of software it was TOBS or Proraso that were highly lauded. Funny old game.

I’m hoping Brian adds a mint soap to his line-up, ideally with tea-tree.
