just used my valobra shave stick tonight for the first time....ease of lather, quality of shave, value....this thing is a winner all around...plus using the shave stick was 100% easier for me than lathering off of a puck of soap. This may convert me to face lathering....naaaaaaaaaaaa...but still this stuff rocks, cant wait to use the palmolive one i just got. who else gets funky on this stuff?
in praise of valobra!

One of my favorite shaving soaps - nuf sed.
Excellent soap. Haven't used it in years but have never tried the soft version.
Valobra's shave stick is fantastic. I don't think it gets enough press.
I have used a Valobra stick off and on ever since I acquired it seven years ago. In fact, it is the only stick I own. Back then, the same as now, I used it with my C&E pure badger brush; except in those days I used a Gillette Atra. Yes, I still have both the Valobra and the brush and just used the both of them just this very evening with my 1940's Gillette SuperSpeed with a BlueBird blade.
Nice shave!
Excellent value, still around and plenty remaining (1/2 stick) after all these years and has not suffered at all and gone bad - unlike some of my soft creams from lack of use! Many others have come and gone, but I doubt that I will ever go without a Valobra stick in my arsenal.
Something good to keep around.

I used mine yesterday for the first time and man does it produce some mighty fine lather !!! I find that both Valobra and Speick shave sticks produce some dense creamy lather and my skin feels great after the shave. Top - quality stuff.
I received my package a few hours ago, with 2 valobra sticks 
.
I can't wait to try it on.

Luc, break one out, you'll wish you had sooner
I did the proraso shave this morning (Proraso green cream + Proraso splash) and it was awesome.
I will tomorrow morning!
Havent use Valobra, but switched to face lathering a couple years ago & never looked back. Face Lathering FTW!!
Valobra is one of the best performing soaps I've used. It has a great thick lather, mild scent that matches with any AS, and leaves your face feeling amazing.
It is indeed great stuff.
have the soft soap and love it and thinking on geting the stick.
