Thread: Palmolive shaving soap stick?

It's just really, really awesome.

I grated it as I found it difficult to soap up straight from stick to face.

Used it this morning after a break and was very quickly reminded what a tremendous soap this is at a ridiculously low price.

OK. Thats enough. Gotta try it. Been looking for something super slick. This may be it.

If you have the option, try a stick of Arko as well. I recently just tried Arko for the first time and I couldn't believe that this stuff cost more money to ship it to me than the product actually costs. It performs great.

This thread cost me some coin. I had the Palmolive cream and liked it so I put in an order for more soaps that included a Palmolive shave stick along with ones from Erasmic. Speick and LEA as well as a tub of Proraso Red. Thanks for providing the excuse I needed to order. Yea, Arko is definitely a really good performer too, lots of bang for the buck.

my favorite stick is latoja...but palmolive is really super nice and performs way above its cost.

What is it the attracts people to certain shaving soaps,Smell?, cost? (the higher the cost the better?) all my soaps are cheap.Palmolive,Cella,P160,no longer made but I have 2 kilos.My main requierments with shaving soaps are:high fat content (tallow), lubricity (tallow) cost.
I see shaving soaps that cost 30/40 bux for a tiny tub,why?? JMO

For me it has to be performance. The cost, scent and packaging all come in at second. I got into this 'hobby' to help my face feel and look better. Nothing else.

I agree, but I rarely use stick anymore. Mostly I used them when traveling.

I'm not sure what it is exactly, but like you, my favorites all time are Cella and P.160 Tipo Morbido. I have a fair amount of each remaining. If I traveled, it would be LaToja or Dr. Harris Arlington stick.
