Very nice collection, Sir. 
By the way, I'm terribly missing the La Toja Manantiales soap in wooden bowl with cork cap...

That one is missing from my collection
I have a feeling you have a knack for finding these vintage sticks and might get one yet!
Dang this is a impressive collection! Some rare finds in this collection for sure. It's cool to be able to see some of the Vintage shave sticks made in the past since some of them have little to no information about them on the web.
Very impressive! Do you keep these primarily as collectables or do you use the sticks in a shaving rotation? Didn't see an Arko label - is Arko in one of the unlabeled containers? See you have other "old school" options like Palmolive and Williams.
Arko? Let me think ... what is the word diametrically opposite of collectible?

. It deserves two words!Arko is in the same class as the Williams, Wilkinson and Palmolive shave sticks that are part of Paco-Galan's excellent and extensive collection. Given the unlabeled shave sticks in see-through plastic dispensers Paco's display may include both collectables and currently used soaps. Also Arko is more readily available in Europe than in the U.S. where it tends to be sold only on-line.Arko? Let me think ... what is the word diametrically opposite of collectible?
Just got my first dozen Arko sticks a few days ago and similar to my lone Arko puck am impressed with the performance that is similar, for me, to Williams. Lathering is easier as I can use my synthetic brush versus a stiffer boar for Williams. Also like the Arko stick aroma that is largely absent in the older puck. As YMMV do respect your views on Arko's scent most either love or hate it for that characteristic.
I love it!
