Hi all,
Might anyone have any pictures of the finished product of putting shaving soap in a Twist Up Stick Container? Perhaps it might be possible for me to try to make one.
Best,
John

Looks excellent. I might very well use the tutorial and try to make a shave stick.
I have tried Arko, Valobra, Palmolive and La Toja. All of them are great

Ended up using La Toja stick for travel. It comes in a nice tube. Arko and Valobra are "naked".
Thanks. Not bad for road tripping with an iPad camera, huh?

I wanted to revisit this old thread that I started some time ago. Here is a picture of my self-made 2 oz. shave sticks, and a 1 oz. container of aftershave balm. They are all Soap Commander Respect scent

Nicely done Sir!

LEA stick doesn't seem to get mentioned.
The new tallow, glycerine, lanolin formula is just awesome and the scent is fairly manly and not overpowering.

Arko is all you need. It smells strongly of barber shops - Turkish ones. It lathers. It is cheap. It works.
Search Youtube for the video that shows Arko used with the $2 push-up plastic stick containers.
