Palmolive shave stick
I had a spare wooden soap bowl so I decided to fill it with a cheap shave soap.
Four bucks (AUD) for two sticks is pretty good value, so really, I had nothing to lose.
I decided to grate it which was no problem, even with arthritic fingers.
After this I compressed it into the bowl and poured a bit of boiling water in and compressed it some more.
I then left it in the sunshine for 30 minutes to harden it up and left it overnight.
There was no loss of scent as far as I can tell.
I've just shaved with this and really, it wasn't bad at all.
This soap is going to last a long time, I only just managed to get it all in.
Can you guys recommend any other similarly priced sticks I could try this technique with ?Hirlau and Leatherstockiings like this.http://straightrazorplace.com/workshop/18504-welcome-workshop-how-do-i-where-do-i-what-do-i-answers-here.html

Marko would be a good soap you could try. It's fairly soft to be gin with. I just grated the stick and pressed it into my mug.

Yes, I meant Arko. Auto-correct strikes again.

Volobra is another old school soap that I really like and it is not going to break the bank either.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
