Nenad turned me on to this soap and it really is very nice.

Randy,

Do you need a brush to build the lather?

I'm not Randy, but the answer is yes.

I use it in stick form as per Randy's post - the downside of this is that you can't keep your lather warm.

Lots of folks mash the soap into a bowl and use it as a you would any other soap - you can't melt it in the microwave.

On the upside, the stuff is dirt cheap and works well - on the downside, it smells like laundry detergent and doesn't offer a lot of moisturizing.

I use it when travelling or when I'm in a rush and don't want to fuss with my mug.

I just picked up a tube of ARKO menthol creme for €1. I haven't tried it yet (far to many to try), but thought I would add that the creme is also available.

I just used the Arko Stick from Tulumba. Wow, that was nice! It just moved up past the Arko cream to number 1 in the hit parade!
Tulumba has fast shipping and great products!

Just wondering what the shipping to the US might be for some of this soap?

I bought 4 alum blocks and 4 shaving sticks for $20 shipped

Thanks a lot.
