This is the first "cooling" shaving cream I've tried. It's an Arko cream, with a ton of mint/menthol added. I ordered it from Turkey, and it was very cheap. It makes a lot of lather with very little effort. The scent is beautiful: very clean and soapy, and with a very fresh note of mint. On the face it feels a little bit strange the first time (I'd never tried a mint/menthol shaving cream before), but it's overall very pleasant, especially on hot summer days. It has given me some very nice shaves!

Arko, Boar brush, '59 Fatboy (or Lord L6), Personna Meds/Feather, GFT Skin Food. Smooth!

I may have just learned how to properly make lather with a cream, as I started with a dry brush due to having the softest water in the world (Toronto :D).



This was the most protective lather I've ever used as I thought I was cut a few times but alas, I didn't even get irritation. It left my face soft, cool, and comfy.



I've tried 4 arko products, action AS, the soap, lavender cream, and this.



While I can say that for the first 2 there are better, and that all sensitive creams seem to be bad for me this makes everything look sub-par.



Almost 12 hours later, whenever I touch my face I still get this cool effect, which is not a menthol 'burn' like proraso, it's simply how I would imagine shave cream to be. It heals, and touches up your skin leaving you feeling this baby fresh, happy kind of feel.



I'm still amazed this costs $2 shipped, what else can I say?



I'm going to be trying every single arko product in the future, this may be the best shaving company in the world, kind of ironic since Turkey is majorly muslim but w.e



The products are cheap and this beats out any big three cream I've tried. Like I said it maybe my technique so I will try trumper's almond 2mor. but I have no negatives I don't want to give 10's out since I've done that and found better but this is the way I like to shave.
