Just figured I’d share a quick tip/pic on lathering up my new favourite soap… The famous Arko shave stick.
I started using this soap after receiving a free sample and began by applying the a wet stick to a wet face, followed by building a face lather with a wet brush. This produces an excellent thick lather, the thickest I have ever seen, but it definitely benefits from a stiffer brush such as a plain old boar, or a quality synthetic such as a Simpson’s Chubby 2 Synthetic or Omega 49.
However I wanted to give the bowl a go to see just how good of an experience I can have with this soap.
Using my Grutti stainless bowl, I rubbed a wet soap stick round the bottom of the bowl so there was a good amount of soap stuck to the inside, then with a wet brush went to work.
Within 2 minutes I was met with a glorious thick lather, no added water needed at all.
Fantastic! Highly recommended.
