Tough question for me to answer as I find most soaps I have tried more than adequate to allow me a decent shave. Add to that the fact that I do not like to pay a premium for a shave soap that is not greatly better than the rest of the pack. I like shave soaps that are high on the price to performance curve or simply put good value for the money. On that basis I'd say for me it would be Arko and Palmolive sticks along with Tabac. Plenty of people dislike at least two of those if not all three.

You really can't go by what a person thinks of a product. Your best bet is to try and get a sample to test for yourself.

Thanks. It is true this, because I can't really stand the smell of Tabac. But I like Arko & Palmolive, even though I am not into sticks.

Having said that, I think Stirling is a good value. There are many artisan soaps that come close to its price, but they don't perform the same.

It is easy to enjoy both Arko and Palmolive shave sticks in puck form. With Arko you roll it between your hands to soften it and then press into a container to form a puck. With the Palmolive I grate it into a container, add a little water to soften it and then press in a container to make a puck.

For me there are way too many options for shaving soaps so I have gone off trying more. I'll just try and use up what I have first and at my age I may pop my clogs before that happens.

L'Oreal mountain water aftershave currently 50p each in Superdrug. I cleared the shelf in my local :D

It's pretty good stuff, gel which turns to liquid when it touches skin... Very mild generic aquatic scent which lasts 2 minutes but it's quite soothing and hydrating... Not oily at all.

Thanks for the heads up :)

Took a punt and ordered the Leodis cologne and soap. I added two packs of blades for free delivery over £30
