I am with you on the European Palmolive sticks. I used mine today. Got enough lather for 6 full face "slatherings" on the old kisser. The last one I did not bother shaving off as there were no whiskers left by that time
I've got a LEA tallow shave stick coming from shaveabuck. Can you tell me what I can expect from it?
Turtle and fellow bros.
I think it would be a good idea to make a list of shave soaps available in the stick form to purchase, and then maybe we can start a list of soaps that we, ourselves, have turned into sticks.
Then maybe we could post the results. What do you think?
Soaps I know about in stick form:
Arko (great)
Tabac (great)
Sir Irisch Moos (great)
Palmolive (great)
Mike's Natural soaps (very good, lather takes a while to dial in)
Mama Bears soaps (don't know yet)
D.R. Harris (don't know)
Kells (don't know)
Ogallala soaps (lathered well, had a skin reaction...PIF'd)
La Toja (Worked shockingly well)
Speick (yuck, lathered well, can't stand the scent)
Volobra (works ok, made my own Arko/Valobra stick. I call it ArkOBRA!)
Soaps I have made into a stick:
Van Der Hagen (works better that way!)
Mitchell's Wool Fat (Works much, MUCH, better as a stick)
Stirling soaps (will not lather...I hear he is working on a better version)
Williams (adequate. Works better as a stick)
I think I have found my shaving Nirvana...
Applied Arko to my face then loaded the Rooney with Arlington and went to town building a lather on my face like no other I have experenced. I looked like a cross between the Arko man and Santa Claus.
All I can say is....... wowzers.....
Mixing a shave stick and a soap into a super lather is amazing, not to mention EASY
Arko. How can you ruin the heavenly scent of Arlington like that!? Serious tallow in that shave, though.
