Arko shaving soap, pack of 5

Love them. Proper 'old skool' shaving soap. And a lot cheaper than the dish alternatives. Took me a while to realise you have to lather the brush rather than attempting to rub the stick on your face; once you figure that out, you're golden. The scent is 'manly' as well (not 'chemical'), instead of the over fragranced stuff.

I used an a plastic round box from my previous shaving soap. Then slowly, using only the heat of my hands pressed and molded the bar in to the box. That was March, now August and I still haven`t finished the first bar. What can I say? That is the most economical shaving aid (foam, soap , gel etc.) I have ever used. My facial hair is very hard and I always had problems while shaving. However, this simple Turkish barber soap (Classic) makes the shaving a pleasure. Furthermore, my wife is very happy with the result.

Having used various shaving products over the years I’ve found Arko shaving soap the best ever. The lather is superb resulting in the closest shave and no skin irritation. Highly recommended.

Shaving sticks seem to be very hard to get these days. However these Arko sticks are great We’ve also had the tub. They smell very nice.

Excellent

As a staple product this is great value. It doesn't have high end fragrances etc. at this price but it smells fine, foams extremely well and as it's squidgy it can be moulded into any shaving dish.

Provides a good shave nice and lathery gentle on the skin.a bargain for five sticks.

The traditional barber smell of this soap may be a surprise at first but you soon get used to it and I have never found a better shaving soap. This 5 pack will last me years

This soap is all you need for the perfect shave. If you don't fancy lots of different fragrances, this soap will provide slick, protection and a fresh feeling on the face. The smell is old style basic barber, but it is tallow-based, and you can use it anywhere. I keep one as stick for travel, and one I moulded into a bowl for home use. I'm amazed at the versatility, and the price for quality.

Es un clásico. Con la brocha se genera facilmente mucha espuma de bastante buena calidad. Desliza bien la hoja de afeitar. Una vez dado, dura lo suficiente en la cara para completar tranquilamente el afeitado. En el post afeitado se siente la piel hidratada. El aroma no es precisamente rebuscado, huele simplemente y bastante a jabón. Los hay mejores, pero para superar sus propiedades tienes que multiplicar bastantes veces su precio. El formato de barra viene bien para viaje por ejemplo. También puedes tomar una o dos de las barritas y pasarlo, dándole forma, a un recipiente redondo que busques de unos 9 cms de ancho y unos 3 o 4 de alto, donde podrás cargar la brocha cómodamente. Para ello se puede laminar la barrita en tiras finas (con un cortapatatas o un pela patatas por ejemplo) y se prensa con los dedos en un recipiente de ese tipo, es bastante dúctil y se hace fácilmente. La relación calidad-cantidad-precio es insuperable.

I've been using the Arko shave stick for about 2 weeks. I originally intended for it to be part of my soap rotation but it's so convenient and works so well that I've used it every day. The first time I used it I couldn't believe how quickly the lather started to form and it made the perfect amount for 3 passes with my synthetic 24mm knot. My 26mm synthetic knot is even better. Some have said they don't like the scent. It's often described as smelling like citronella (mosquito repellant). I get a little bit of that but it's fresher and more lemony in my opinion. I actually like it quite a bit. Tip: You definitely have to wet your face a LOT and then dip the tip of the stick in water before you start rubbing it on. If you don't, it will "hang up" and won't glide over your skin very well. I also start lathering with a bit more water in the brush than my other soaps. It's fairly thirsty. BTW, this is Dawn's husband. Dawn doesn't shave her face. ;)
