Gentlemen,
I use shave stick when traveling. The ones I like are D.H. Harris, Lea and La Toja. All good stuff.

Arko is a citrusy scent, bordering on antiseptic. Speick is an earthy, incense like scent, similar to patchouli. Both are tallow based and lather about as easy as any soap out there. Originally Posted by Trimmy72

I have a DR Harris shave stick and (naturally) it's great stuff. I'd also like to try Irisch Moos but it's harder to find.

I'm looking forward to the DR Harris, I ran across this earlier (Irish MOO's) Shaving Soaps, Page 8

FWIW Valobra is nice stick as well smells like coconut play dough but lathers into a nice cushiony shave grease.
YMMV
It just keeps getting better

Valobra sounds like something I would try too. I had to look up what FWIW you'd think at 39 I would be up on all the acronyms...

Thanks! Speick sounds like something I would try, somehow antiseptic doesn't sound appealing, It makes me think of Lemon pine sol, or Lysol
