2 x Arko Shaving Cream Soap Stick and Omega Shaving Brush with Natural Boar Bristle, Red

Bought to take on holiday so still in original packaging

My husband is very pleased with this product. He said it's value for money

Larger than those in the shops. Keeps the bathroom smelling fresh if left on a shelf.

Purchased as my old brush is getting a bit thin, and Palmolive sticks are no longer available ;(- The brush does not lather at all: it looks good, is bushy enough, but cannot get it to produce a decent lather. Not keen on the smell of the soap, it reminds me of citronella candles, after the Palmolive. Maybe in mosquito season I would be spared their visits? Otherwise it works well enough

Just what I needed for a great shave

I bought it for use with my skull shaver. They match up well.

I was told that the brush was well made and really soft, and the soap was very larthery. Customer very pleased with it.

Excellent shave soap. Love it. Very good brush.

Armo is a classic. Great for a quick shave when you’re running late. The brush is the real champion of this set. Before this, I had a very cheap synthetic brush. This Boar brush is a GAME CHANGER. Nice handle, nice feeling on the face, great lather.

I had to go on YouTube to find out exactly how to use these shave stick soaps. They lather up great once you rub it on your face. I intend to take this when I travel now, instead of lugging around the heavy shaving mug.

I ordered this for my husband and he loved it! He said it lathered his shaving cream so well and worked like a charm. I docked a star because the brush has an odd smell. It kind of smells like a horse. If you can get used to that, highly recommend the product itself.

This review is chiefly for the Arko shave stick - The Shave Factory brush seems to be your run of the mill Omega brush. A nice little package for the new to wet shave person. First of all - let's talk about the scent. I was worried I wouldn't like it as many people have mentioned it was unpleasant. I can get how some people wouldn't enjoy it, as it has a very fresh, almost citrus / lemon cleaner scent. But, when you lather it on - It gets a little brighter and maybe less citrus and more traditional soap scent. I truly enjoy this scent honestly, though I was initially apprehensive. Secondly - Let's talk about the performance. I read that this was a slick shaving cream. And it lives up to this. I barely had to circle my brush around the tip of the stick a few times before it began to lather. I'm sure I could get a better lather going after some time - But decided to just give it a go. Alternatively I've seen others rub the stick on their face and use their hands to lather. A very versatile stick while traveling or for daily use. It seems to provide adequate protection when I shaved using the notoriously sharp Bic DE blade on a King C Gillette razor. Finally - Let's talk about the price / longevity. I bought this with the brush for a good deal as I could always use another brush. I do intend to order a box of 6 or something as I know a few fellas who are into wet shaving and have not heard of this. Compared to other soaps it seems relatively low priced. I would say on par with Wilkinson soap or even cheaper. Keep in mind - I am in Canada and things tend to cost slightly more here so thinking that you could get a shave stick that would likely last several months for less than a unit price of $5 is a great deal I think! Specially when compared to aerosol shave gels that are barely passable for much higher price that last for less than a month. Good deal all around!
