Do prefer Soap pucks or sticks?

How do you guys like your shaving soaps?

Do u prefer a stick or just a puck inside a bowl? I used a stick to travel, and I realized it has some advantages. I can use a stick with a cheap floppy brush because I'm putting the soap directly on my face instead of loading it

Are there any particular advantages to using pucks?

Pucks for me. I tried a couple of sticks and just didn't like them. Too wet and messy.

Sticks for travel, pucks at home.

Ditto

I prefer pucks but I like to use a stick once in awhile for a change, just to mix things up. It took me awhile to get the hang of sticks but they are a nice change.

Both as long as it's a quality soap, the shape really does not matter.

Same as me. At one time I would have said pucks but not use and like both.

I prefer sticks. Valobra is pretty much all I use these days.

Same here.

With an Arko puck in a vintage mug, I can keep stirring in the mug and raise an amount of lather limited only by the depth of the mug. When traveling, face lather with Arko stick does the job but there's a limited amount of brush lather for subsequent passes.

Yes.

I use both daily and always face lather.

Now that's an idea!

I use my pucks like sticks most of the time

I always prefer pucks of soap, in a bowl. BUT when i travel, shaving sticks a fantastic.
I do have few favourite shaving sticks however that i do enjoy using. Speick is one shaving stick that i just really dig, Arko is another but recently discovered Arko in a bowl! SO i have ordered that one and awaiting its arrival. And, of course, La Toja is also a great stick.

But in general im a soap puck man

I always face lather and use soap tubs, pucks, and sticks. I also love AOS creams. Many members feel sticks are advantageous for face lathering, but I think all these products are easy to apply to your face.

Arko stick for travel. Otherwise pucks and bowl lather. Stick saves one step and makes face lathering easy

pucks. you can soak and soften a puck.

I prefer sticks. I shave in the shower, which means I can work up a big face lather without worrying about the mess.
