A few weeks ago I swapped my rotation methodology.... I have a strict rotation with my straight razors (a mixed 7 day set), but my soaps had always been chosen on a whim each day. Never really felt I knew enough about each soap to use it properly.
Now I use a soap for a full week before moving to the next.... allows me to "dial in" each soap, but still gives me enough variety. I have 5 different soaps & also "matched" these to the 5 different AS I have, so I rotate through Soap & AS as follows
Gives me enough time to work out what I really like.... if I am reluctant to let it go at the end of the week it means that it will be a soap/AS I will replace when it is used up. I know I probably won't replace the Vulfix soap, or the Speick AS, but the MWF & Proraso already have replacements ready waiting on the shelf
What do other folk do for rotations?
