Highly recommended, the Wilkinson is an excellent stick, and makes great lather.
Contains both tallow and lanolin. The scent is pleasant enough too, much nicer than the Palmolive IMO.
I tend to stock up sticks (apart from Arko) when I go the UK to visit home. I've never seen the Wilko sticks available there though, and i'm more than happy to stock up on Palmolive at 49p a stick!
A wonderful stick. Not so good as the Valobra, but it is very, very close. Much cheaper than Valobra, the Wilkie costs ~2 here in Portugal
One of my favourite shaving sticks, along with Valobra, La Toja, Palmolive and Irisch Moss
When I got my lot of 2 from Connaught, the price was about the same as Palmolive sticks. Since then the price seems to have gone up at most Web sites that offer it. I prefer bowl lathering, but loading up a brush enough from a Wilkinson stick doesn't work for me.
I have since put together a travel kit, mostly for use at the health club, built around one of these Wilkinson sticks. Face lathering works great with, of all things, an Omega Syntex, a basic one that was my first brush purchase. No bowl required. What seems to help with these shaves is a 30-minute pre-soak in the swimming pool during a workout, followed by a shower, then the shave a few minutes later. A remarkably fine and easy shave under what I thought would be more difficult conditions.
The only other stick I've tried is Arko, and face lathering with that didn't work for me. I kept it cut up in two pieces in an old Body Shop 200 ml tub, and used that to load up a brush for lathering in a bowl.
