I only used Arko Shave Stick for 5 or 6 years and didn't miss any variety.
Recently I tried the Arko Sensitive, tube cream. At first I was looking for the old Arko Iced Mint which was a great menthol. But it appears they don't make a menthol anymore} :>(
So finally I pick up this Bb cream... Nothing special, except it face lathers to a thick lubricating lather that really, I mean REALLY positions my whiskers so I get those BBS strokes. I did it! I'm getting really close shaves in record time... Even though I'm not in a hurry.. Lately it's like one pass with the cream and one Fuzzy patented witch hazel pass and I'm good to go!
I can't imagine anything replacing the Arko or Williams sticks or Cakes... But this cream is smoking!!!
I have not tried the cream but I have used the stick. To be honest Williams is all I need. Super slick and I can get a lather easily. When it comes to cream vs soap in my mind creams win due to them already having water in them. The more I shave and this is just my experience so feel free to disagree. I used to like thick lather but I realized that my razor only needs the slickness and not much cushion if I do my part. Thick lather slows my razor and I like a fast shave. Anyways I think I will try that cream. You just reminded me that I need to get some witch hazel. Thanks!
Happy shaves to ya!
