Was looking for a travel friendly shaving soap to use with a brush and traditional safety razor. This product works brilliantly. Wet the end of the stick and rub on to wet skin, then lather with your brush. Produces plenty of smooth lather which is a pleasure to shave with, giving a very close shave. Smells good too. Works much better than modern aerosol foams and gels IMHO and much less wasteful packaging. Recommended.

Really like this shaving stick, find it better than the well known brand no longer available. I can't use shaving foam always skin reaction so far no reaction with a good close shave.

Nothing much to say about the Arko that haven't been said already: cheap, it's easy to lather (it's dry so you have to use a fair amount of water for it to lather), and is one of the slickest soaps on the market. Some people don't like the scent, but I don't mind it. You can also take off the foil and let it "air out" for a few months. That usually does the trick. Would definitely recommend, and will buy more of it in the feature.

Used Arko Shaving Soap sticks for a while now. Amazing value in this bulk purchase and if used properly then it will last for an unbelievably long time. The trick is to peel a little of the backing paper away, wet your face then dip the stick in the water and rub the stick directly into your stubble until your bristles are white over. Then using a wet shaving brush, whip into a rich leather directly in your face. This may take a minute or so but it’s worth the wait! I use mine with a DE razor and get a lovely shave every time

As a new user of this cream, and having just switched from using multi blade cartridge razors to the traditional double edged safety razors, I have been experimenting with different brands of soaps, creams and so on. I can say that for me this inexpensive stick produces a lovely smooth lather with good glide, a very mild lemon scent, and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and smooth. I will definitely be using it regularly. It would also be great for travel, and is good for the environment, no aerosol cans to dispose of. I can see they offer many shaves from a single stick too. Highly recommended .
