Anyone else

I've been shaving a couple of years now so I have my go to blades razor soap etc. But as I try new soaps I always find myself going back to palmolive. I last tried XXX and I don't see the hype 6es it was a good soap but didn't grab me so to speak. Has anybody else had similar expirences with products that are so cheap and run of the mill thanks.

I think you will find that there are many, who while continuing their search for the one, in disappointment return to an old standby. Maybe the truth is that the standby is actually the one!

Yup I regularly drop back to Palmolive or The Turkish Soap I don't mind the scents and easy to use with excellent performance is hard to beat.

Well, the Blessed Soap Of Turkey certainly is the one for me. Most other soaps can lack in some department, be it lather or irritability but if I want a no-nonsense dependable shave that's what I'll use.

Ingrams, on and off since 1974(always on hols)!

It is a little shame that the scent is slightly marmite-y, as it is without doubt a great performer and people should not be put off from at least giving it a go.

I got the tub version last time and the scent seemed to fade far more quickly than with the stick, though a sample size of one isn't really enough.

Got to like the " Blessed Soap of Turkey " name, hope it catches on. As far as inexpensive products go, I've been using Brut ever since ( back in the mid 1960s ) it counted as a fairly expensive scent. Frags like that, Blue Stratos or Denim still seem amazing value to me and the fact they've made it through to the 21st century speaks volumes of their classic appeal.

when you have something that works, you keep it. I like arko, but it isn't quitte as smooth as erasmic is, and the shave doesn't stay as smooth for as long.

its nice to try stuff, but youll learn that certain things make you smile. and certain things will make you toss your lunch.

Would yougive us a link to this Blessed Turkish Soap, please. I can't find it - and can't remember the name of the Turkish shaving shop.

Arko?

Arko?

Erm, I had presumed that it was Arko @JohnnyO was talking about.

You mean there is actually something called Blessed Soap of Turkey??

I still end up using Proraso (R & G) a lot.

Proraso green's the one I always come back to

I was indeed commenting on a most appropriate nickname for the Arko soap MoodyM. Since, in this house, it is the soap which dare not own its' name.

As I am fairly new to this lark I found myself rather snobbishly dismissing my Palmolive grated sticks in favour of soaps costing ten times more but not offering any benifits over the Palmolive. I have never had a bad shave using the green stuff. It had super glide and great lather. I think it suffers in the shaving community from being over looked as it is the common or garden soap. While artisans come and go Palmolive is still there on the supermarket shelf for less than 50p
