It's easy for me to use too much of the cream; just a bit of it makes lots of excellent lather. It's complemented very nicely by the Habit Rouge.

It has been a while since I used Arko. With a boar it is absolutely terrific. I know some dislike the scent, but for me it is one of the quintessential shave aromas.

At times I like it but sometimes the Floris JF smells just a touch too youthful and "preppy" for an old guy like me. But the soap is wonderful.

The AOS was a grail soap for me at one time in this now-vintage tallowate version. I realized today that I have come to prefer soapy scents, lavender, and citrus over sandalwood for shaving. This one may have seen its last lather in my den. Possibly down to these few commercial soaps:

Speick
Palmolive
Haslinger Meersalgen
Valobra stick
Salter w/tallow
Harris Almond
