Hi,
since I've gone a bit overboard with shaving creams (and soaps...) :roll: lately I have a few tubs/tubes with the stuff. Also wanting to use soaps - I don't want to restrict meselves to just using up the creams at hi speed. I'm looking forward to the Provence Sante soaps, Artisan's mk5 and a GFT cream from pugh (thanks!)
But that means that the 200ml cream tubs are going to be there for > 1 year. Soaps I understand, don't have an 'use by' date. But creams do (even though I can't find it :? ). Lifetime of your creams is supposedly improved by storing your creams in a cool place - what is a cool place throughout the summer? :idea: Yes - the fridge, probably the veggie drawer. But it's in the basement and that's not close to the bathroom (1st floor) and shaving with cold cream somehow doesn't sound appealing
So I get these Fuji film canisters (remember those) and I fill them with a bit of cream (enough for at least a week I'd say), keep those in the bathroom and keep the tubs in the fridge. Another advantage is that it definitely saves shelf space.
Does this make sense or is it just a waste of time and fridge space? Or is it such a great idea I should do the same with the tubes of cream? The spare tubes are in the fridge, but tubes that do get used aint.

I'm a bit unsure whether this should go in 'General shave chat' or in Shaving Creams. I decided on the latter but feel free to let me see the error of my ways.
