I’ve heard so many people talk up soap sticks for travel over the years, I figured I just had to get one! It took ten or so years, but I did it! I got my first soap stick. A stick of Mühle Sea Buckthorn!
But now I just don’t know why?
I mean as I applied it to my face I kept wondering if I’d gotten enough on before I used the brush. Then when I capitulated and put brush to face to see what would happen - well there was an explosion! An explosion of soap! On my face, on my mirror, my counter etc., etc! Moreover, I kept on adding more and more water to make it creamy, but it took forever to reduce it from a tacky mess - and remember, there was soap everywhere lol! Maybe I picked the wrong brush to use. Actually, I know I did but whatever, you live and learn eh lol!
Which is all to say that this is probably the most efficient way to lather i’ve ever come across! Great if you’re counting the penny’s. I mean I did not have to reapply. There was enough soap on the brush for all three passes - and it looked like the stick didn’t even get used! Which I guess is good.
But its not like it’s really any better for travel is it? I mean wouldn’t a small container of cream that you could lather up with your hands be more travel friendly? At least you wouldn’t need the brush anymore.
I don’t know, it was a pretty entertaining shave! I love the novelty of it. The efficiency means I’ll probably have this stick going on forever, but I’m not sure I “liked” it lol. And I certainly don’t see why it’d be better than cream for travel.
Why do you like using the stick?
