Size of shave sticks

[PiXmo]

I want to tinker some casing for my shave sticks. If they look very similar, they have not exactly the same size. If you use some stick, could you measure it and post the size here. So we can compare them. For example the Palmolive Classic (tallow) has a length of 74 mm and a diameter of 28 mm.

What about Arko, Speick, Erasmic, Tabac, Lea, QED, etc...

Updated results shown below:

Speick is the same size; length 74 mm and Diameter 28 mm.

For Arko I get about 90-mm x 40-mm. That's approximate: I'm measuring inches and converting to mm. But it's substantially larger than my Speick stick.

Edit: added your data so far to http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/Shave_stick

Thanks for participating. I hope a lot of people will do the same.

Thanks also to Nasa and mblakele for their reply.

Note: I will update the front table with new data a soon as they are posted. Unfortunately I have some problem for editing my post for now. I'm working on it.

Quick question--are we talking about just the stick itself, or the plastic around the stick as well?

I just measured product itself.

Tele, only others I can think of off the top of my head are:

DR Harris
TOBS
Boots

Also noticed the notes in the updated chart (great reference!):

Erasmic and Valobra both ship in a paper wrapper as well. Erasmic has a plastic ring.

QED ships in a twist up, plastic container with screw top.

Good work.

You should add starting weight/mass to the list. A lot of sticks come in 50g but many come in 100g sizes. It would just add a little perspective when discussing size v weight.

Does size matter?

+1. I know DR Harris is 50g whereas Tabac is 100g -- really gives you a perspective on value.

ED: Added "starting weight" column on wiki page--this should be pretty easy to look up, since it'll be on the manufacturers' websites (but it's nice to have it all in the same place). I'll measure my Tabac when I get home, but somebody else will have to do the DR Harris--I sold it off before measuring it. (Between a 50g stick and a 100g puck for about the same price, I'd tend towards the puck.)
