Shaving Cream 5 PCS

If you’re still longing to have Williams shave soap back again, this will do to take its place. The smell is about 85% like Williams, and they added in what seems like some antiseptic smell with the other 15%. It’s very similar overall, once mixed with water and made into lather. The lather is thick. These 5 sticks will last me a long time. Much cheaper than buying that junk in a foam can.

This is really nice shaving soap. As you see, it comes in a stick and not a puck. The scent is officially listed as rose. I don’t know if it’s really Rose, but it smells nice and I like it. Several reviewers peel some of the wrapper off of the stick, and rub the soap directly onto their beard. Then they use a brush to foam it up right on their face. I, like many, like to use a shaving mug and lather it up in the mug, and then apply it. Some have suggested cutting the soap into small pieces and pressing it into the bottom of your shaving mug. I think that’s the way to go. AI said that this shaving soap, like many, are just like a glycerin based soap and that you can cut it into little pieces and melt it in the microwave oven and pour it into the bottom of your shaving mug. Well, this soap is not like glycerin soap. You can’t cut it into little pieces and try to melt it and pour it into your shaving mug. DON’T DO IT! I cut off half a stick, chopped it into small pieces and put it into a beaker. Then I tried to melt it in the microwave. In less than 10 seconds, it expanded into a giant fluffy mess that was unrecognizable as any kind of soap. I waited for it to cool and then tried to press it into the bottom of my shaving mug. It was a mess. I think it’s better just to cut it into small pieces and press it into the bottom of your shaving mug using the bottom of a shot glass or some other instrument. I think that heating this soap in a microwave oven may destroy some of its properties. I used a shaving brush with just a few few drops of warm water to create a nice lather from the soap in my shaving mug that I had previously tried to destroy by overheating in my microwave oven. I got very good results. And I am pleased with the shaving soap. But I am not going to use a microwave oven again. I will either smash it into the bottom of my shaving mug, or I will rub it directly into wet whiskers. I think this is good stuff. Your mileage may vary. But you won’t know until you try! I would only recommend that you do not try to melt it in a microwave oven.

Great value. Good lather. The scent is a bit strong...very old fashioned and resistant of laundry soap.

Love this stuff. Gave a stick to our college-age grandson and he does as well.

Best shaving soap for the money. Smooth cut, nice aroma.

This soap works very well. Very easy to lather. The smell is hard to describe. It's lemon, basically. Some people compare it to citronella candles. It's not quite that- citronella has a waxy, chemically, hardware store smell. Arko isn't chemically or waxy at all. It's warm, sweet, and lemony. Kinda syrupy. Not fresh and zesty lemon, but candy lemon. The intended use for a shaving stick like this is to rub it on your face and then use a wet brush to lather. Rather, I cut the stick into little chunks with a pair of scissors and smush it into a ramekin (you can use a cheese grater but I didn't want to get shaving soap on my cheese grater). Add some water on top, swirl with wet brush, and build lather on your face for about 60 seconds. A mug isn't necessary. It works just as well as my other soaps which are many times more expensive. I think everyone who shaves should try this soap. It's extremely cheap. This particular lot is $10 for five sticks. Each stick should last about three months of daily shaving, maybe more. That's fifteen months supply for only $10. I call that economical. The 12-pack is even more better, that will last you the rest of your natural life. Try this stuff, you'll like it.

I don't know how anyone stands the smell. It's very difficult to describe... it's like fish and floral at the same time. As a shaving cream it works excellently but the odor was just too much to stomach

I will start of by saying I was mad at myself for ordering before I received it. I had already convinced myself I was not going to like it at all by the time I got the package. When I opened it and smelled the aroma I was 100% sure I was not going to like it. I wet my face and rubbed it on, I did not have a brush so I just lathered it up with my hands which worked quite well surprisingly. I got so say the smell is horrible, it’s definitely not something that is pleasant. Now after all of that I have to say it gave me the best and most comfortable shave I have had in quite some time. It provides a smooth glide and makes the cut super close. Even with the horrible smell I think this is my new full time shave cream.

This soap is all you need for the perfect shave. If you don't fancy lots of different fragrances, this soap will provide slick, protection and a fresh feeling on the face. The smell is old style basic barber, but it is tallow-based, and you can use it anywhere. I keep one as stick for travel, and one I moulded into a bowl for home use. I'm amazed at the versatility, and the price for quality.

Es un clásico. Con la brocha se genera facilmente mucha espuma de bastante buena calidad. Desliza bien la hoja de afeitar. Una vez dado, dura lo suficiente en la cara para completar tranquilamente el afeitado. En el post afeitado se siente la piel hidratada. El aroma no es precisamente rebuscado, huele simplemente y bastante a jabón. Los hay mejores, pero para superar sus propiedades tienes que multiplicar bastantes veces su precio. El formato de barra viene bien para viaje por ejemplo. También puedes tomar una o dos de las barritas y pasarlo, dándole forma, a un recipiente redondo que busques de unos 9 cms de ancho y unos 3 o 4 de alto, donde podrás cargar la brocha cómodamente. Para ello se puede laminar la barrita en tiras finas (con un cortapatatas o un pela patatas por ejemplo) y se prensa con los dedos en un recipiente de ese tipo, es bastante dúctil y se hace fácilmente. La relación calidad-cantidad-precio es insuperable.

Love them. Proper 'old skool' shaving soap. And a lot cheaper than the dish alternatives. Took me a while to realise you have to lather the brush rather than attempting to rub the stick on your face; once you figure that out, you're golden. The scent is 'manly' as well (not 'chemical'), instead of the over fragranced stuff.
