I have too many soaps and keep getting more, can't bring myself to 3017 any.

I don't know what to do.

(General note: My wife hates most scents, thus the prevalence of unscented stuff.)

Right now I have (spoilered to not take up the whole post space, gave lots of unnecessary detail as I'm feeling loquacious today):
Spoiler:

(Just for kicks I've rated each from 1 (least favorite/worst) to 5 (most favorite/best). But note that if I really don't like a soap I just toss it, so a 1 is just the lowest among those I find acceptable.)

- [3] XPEC cream (the new one), unscented. Used twice. It makes good lather, but I prefer soaps. So I haven't really been using it, but don't really want to sell it either; seems like a lot of hassle and I keep thinking I'll use it at some point. (I would rate it a 4 or 5, except I never use it...)

- [4] Martin de Candre unscented. Has an odd odor to it, but not totally unpleasant (goes away quickly). The lather it makes is probably the best when observed in isolation out of everything I've tried. I say 'in isolation' because even though to all appearances it is the richest, thickest, and slickest out of all my soaps, the alum test after the shave is not the best. (I.e., the alum stings more after I shave with this than with some of my other soaps, using the same razor; so even though the lather seems the best in appearance and feel, it isn't the best in terms of protection. Not to say its bad at protection; it is quite good, just not the best out of every soap I've tried.)

- [2] Valobra unscented. I haven't used it much. Its a hard soap (I usually go for softer soaps, all listed soaps are softer unless otherwise noted) and performs admirably from what I remember. (Its been over a month since I used it.) It isn't that it isn't a good soap, its just when I want a nice unscented soap I typically go for the Martin de Candre (which beats this out in all ways, the odd subtle odor not-withstanding).

- [3] Barrister & Mann unscented. Another good performer, but its been a while. The lather is almost as good as the Martin de Candre, and may even be slightly more protective. I should give this another shot soon...

- [5] Cold River Soap Works citrus. Smells like fruit loops cereal. Fantastic lather, almost on par with the Martin de Candre. Better protection though; I am always less irritated after using this than I am with the MdC.

- [5] Haslinger Schafmilch. Very mild smell like some laundry detergent. Lather and protection are both great.

- [5] Mitchel's Wool Fat. Sometimes the scent is a little too much for me, but this makes great lather and has great protection too.

- [?] Stirling Glacial Wintergreen. The smell is just like wintergreen gum, which is not too bad but not great either. I like the menthol though (the only other menthol I've tried was Mystic Water soap's Prospect Creek, but I couldn't get great lather out of it). This lathers up very well, and seemed pretty protective too. I've only had it for 1 day though and only used it the one time, so no rating yet.

- I also just ordered 2 menthol soaps from Queen Charlotte Soaps (Vostok & Iced Key Lime).


So 10 different ones right now (including the 2 on the way). I keep feeling like I may use some of the ones that are less popular (with me) at some point, so I keep them. But I don't want to just focus on one soap exclusively. But at the same time I need to use some of these up...

I should also mention that I prefer lathering directly from a puck held in my hand, and store the pucks without a container (I prefer to let the scent fade out a bit anyway, if it is scented). So I don't have containers for any of the soaps I was able to extract from the container they came in (and when possible I order soaps without a container).
I'm thinking at some point I'll just toss the soaps I don't really use... but I haven't gotten there yet.

Anyone else have difficulty in this area? (Too many soaps, don't want to 3017, want to keep trying new soaps...)
What do you do?
