My Arko sticks last for monthsi wanted to ask how long at a guesstimate would you say a shave stick lasts?
While I have never kept track either. My guess is around 150-160 shaves out of an Arko stick.This might give you a little idea of one person’s use. I left cartridge razors behind a little over 2 years ago. This Arko stick has 60 shaves on it. I generally do 3 pass shaves. Most are face lather. I would guess I’ll get about 150 out of this one.

Got some recently black box and red box, I reckon the black box is a bit older by the looks of itSorry, I know nothing about them. Big fan of the cream, but never seen sticks.
For me, this is one of the great B&B threads.I just realized this thread is now 10 years old... Hopefully, it's still useful as most of the reviewed shave sticks are still in production!
I've enjoyed this thread immensely @Luc ! Unfortunately, one of my favorite sticks that I discovered from this thread, Wilkinson Sword shave stick, seems to have been discontinued.
I'm not much for reviews, but I have been using the new formula Tabac. I think it's great. There's no compromise on the lather (for me) compared to the tallow version and some on here said the scent has changed, but I can't tell any difference. Visually- and the main difference overall that I can see- is the veggie soap is white compared to the tan tallow.Not just the blue Wilk Sword stick but all the German tallow based shaving sticks are now gone, Wilkinson Sword, Palmolive, Speick and Tabac are no longer, but the latter two have been reformulated into new vegan formulas, maybe they can be reviewed?
There is another new SS, the Mastro Miche, which I have seen for sale at a few places.
Great thread though, credit to @Luc for all his fantastic work over the years!

I still have some tallow in reserve, but I'm not concerned at all with the new formula. It will still be at the top of my rotation for years to come.
