MOAR NEW feather
Going to take a break before my tub kill to run through the den. Its pretty big for a normal person but probably small for this community.
I cleared most of the samples last year so I'm going to ignore the last few of those that I have - which leaves me with 20 soaps ( and 3 in transit/parked with onion).
I can't remember when I got each so it's going to be a rough chronological order from my early purchases through to today.
A light, bright floral scent. Middling soap quality though.
I view 20 as the perfect number. I currently have 32, down from just over 50, and I still want to go lower.

I agree. You can cover pretty much all types of scent and have some variety.
Given my stash includes MWF and MdC I'm probably set for life.
