Turkish barber shop round the corner, on Yorckstraße/Mehringdamm. Nice fellas, let me tell you that.

On a tangent, the only useful thing to do with this stuff is to buy three sticks, boil them until the miasma is gone, then add some essential oils. Nice shaving soap. Lather is a bit on the weak side, but then again, it only costs a fraction of other soaps.

I love Arko shave soap--I find the lather rich, easy to create, and stable, and it smells nice as well.

Or cheap while getting the job done. Barbers shaving customers have an additional motive other than just removing the beard from a face. Namely, making money in the process :)

I still have to try my stick though, so I don't know if I like it or not. Did get and use a product called something like Yagli crem or somesuch.
For the skin, he said it was good for when it is dry or a little "raw". Verdict - I like it.
