A little bucket of tallow from Turkey....Wonder if it has the industrial laundry detergent scent ?....Haven't seen a vendor for it yet,but I'm searching ! http://tirasim.com/konu-more-for-you-tiras-sabunu.html
Is it with the tallow formulation though?I have a More For You soap Tub & it shaves the same as my Derby Tub soap. It does have a very strong Ivory soap smell.
Unlike the Derby Tub which has a milder scent.
I don't think so. A veg based formula can also produce great lather , but you're correct , no more tallow. Coconut oil, palm fruit oil and palm kernel oil can produce a thick rich lather, it's the palm " kernel " oil that give loads of volume to any soap formula ... The main reason you don't see this soap offered is because so few vendors have it , a real shame .I noticed this soap online today, and am resurrecting the thread!
Its official listing is here (company website): More For You Kuaför Salonu Ürünleri - https://kraftkagit.com.tr/detay/more-for-you-tiras-sabunu-kase-140-gr-19.html
How come this soap doesn't enjoy more following?
Based on @malocchio 's post, the formulation used to be the same as Derby, but I noticed a newer looking label that does not contain any tallow:

This seems to be consistent with the company's PALM ÖZLÜ FORMUL on the label.
Turkey also moving away from tallow?
Time to hoard ARKO?
Oh yes, I do not doubt that the new formulation can be good, as just wonder whether this trend of moving away from tallow will affect Derby (if not already) and ARKO in the future.I don't think so.

Very possible , but don't forget, many other Turlish sticks have come and gone , Blue , Camelot , GZD Berber ( which smelled like Arko but had more moisture and was malleable ) and a few others that didn't last long. Arko is #1 in sales , so they may not want to tamper with success .Oh yes, I do not doubt that the new formulation can be good, as just wonder whether this trend of moving away from tallow will affect Derby (if not already) and ARKO in the future.
I haven't forgotten them, because I've never learned about them in the first place But thank you for the listing!Very possible , but don't forget, many other Turlish sticks have come and gone , Blue , Camelot , GZD Berber ( which smelled like Arko but had more moisture and was malleable ) and a few others that didn't last long.

Here is an idea: whatever the soap is, More For You, Derby, or ARKO, sell it in a nice clay or ceramic or metallic pot, offer the refills, and offer two or three more varieties too (different scents, mentholated, sensitive with aloe vera, and so on).
LEA tried that a few years ago , nice but tiny wood bowl , great soap though. Didn't last, not enough sales .... Arko would get even fewer sales, it is what it is , a good economy soap.I haven't forgotten them, because I've never learned about them in the first place But thank you for the listing!
That is another thing, in particular, the international brand visibility of Turkish shaving products; it is bad, I think. For example, ARKO (Evyap) has been in the Turquality program (Who We Are - Evyap - https://www.evyap.com.tr/en/hakkimizda/who-we-are-3) since 2006, which was supposed to help exactly with international brand visibility, as well as with offering a greater variety of options, yet all we got is a puck in addition to the stick! Like, how is that a breakthrough?
