Greetings,
The Arko shave stick provided me with a superb slick protective lather. Everytime i use a shave stick it amazes & shows me that you don't need alot of soap or cream to get a superb creamy lather, for a excellent shave...However,i personally find it's a thirsty soap,but performs and gives a superb lather with a good few drops of water when bowl or face lathering.
As with it's Turkish cousin The Derby stick both have love/hate opinions on scent & irritation issues amongst the wet shaving community.As for the scent , i personally don't mind the scent of both sticks, but to me the scent is not important the performance is the main thing, besides that my post aftershave's/Cologne's splash gets rid of any soap scent dislikes.
I consider myself fortunate that both gel excellently with my skin type and don't give me any irritation or dryness to my face and for that reason i will always have them in my shaving den, because both have gave me outstanding shaving results at a very reasonable price... What more could i ask for.
A wonderful relaxing 3 pass + pick ups sunday shave with no errors to report.
The slimtwist is always a pleasure to use, non-aggressive, smooth and efficient, the Perma-Sharp Stainless blade gave it a extra bite, shaving down my stubble effortlessly.
Finishing the shave off in style with a very generous splash of Brut~ Attraction Totale.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
I'm ready for what sunday has to offer.
Enjoy your first sunday of September, ladies & gentlemen.
