Thanks...I have Colonel Cook's 4 types of soap...Amber, Bayrum, Almond and Lime...all are good quality shave soaps...
Took me awhile to figure out how to get the proper lather...like now...really wonderful soaps...and very affordable all the way from US to Malaysia....
Lathers from Sunday until today;
Lovely! I bought a Mühle one without doing any research, it's fine but not very inspiring or Den worthy... definitely in the market for something with more character!

Is that a Yaqi Moka? Seriously jealous over here. Beautiful handle.
Lathers from Sunday until today;
I've had a puck of Arko for a few weeks, but haven't made the plunge yet (barely month into officially wet-shaving)...think the scent is holding me back. Perhaps it's a little more tame when whipped up into a nice lather?
It's not bad smelling to me, per se...just a little in your face and slightly, let's just say, less masculine than some of the other soaps I have tried.
Strangely, I did find my TOBS sandlewood soap a little feminine and strong compared to the cream, which I LOVE; however, the power of the Arko dwarfs the pungency of the TOBS.
I'll take it for a test drive this weekend.
I just used it today. It's a big brush, both knot and handle. It's one of my favorite badgers.
If you can, air it out a bit. It will help with the smell. I personally love it. Just a clean smell.I've had a puck of Arko for a few weeks, but haven't made the plunge yet (barely month into officially wet-shaving)...think the scent is holding me back.

Some Modern Williams Love for the pleasure of the gallery;
If you ever get one have a really good look at the handle. there all diffrent but there is that darker brown is suspened in the handle as like smoke line it’s really cool, I first go it didn’t like it but it grew on me.

Some Stirling Spice Awesomeness;
Haslinger Schafmilch, Van Der Hagen "luxury" badger brush (sheds more like a husky than a badger)
Ah yes, the husky shed schedule. Twice a year for six months at a time.
Tabac Tuesday!
I was surprised to read that we can put boiling water in these scuttles (though I later learned that it will melt my cream unless I backed off the heat a little), so reached out to GP in hopes that the 'unfinished' bottom (no glaze) won't present a problem to those of us using them in the shower...seems we're good to go!
Hi,
I spoke with the owner and he said you have nothing to worry about by getting the bottom of the piece wet. It will last 3000 years and beyond!!!
