GZD shaving stick

Post by JayDee »

Just received this nice stick with some other stuff yesterday and here are my findings:

Ease of lathering: 10/10--Boom, a lather explosion right away.

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Perfect stability for a multi-pass shave.

General skincare: 8/10--Pretty good. No complaints at all.

Scent: 8/10--EXACTLY like an Arko stick. Soapy and clean.

Price: N/A--I traded for it so I don't know the price.

Would I buy again: 9/10--Very, very possibly because I like it.

My thanks to the great country of Turkey for putting out this fine stick which is so similar to the already renowned Arko stick. Same great lather and soapy scent which I love and this soap provided a comfortable post-shave feeling to the skin as well. The packaging is in some ways very much like the Arko stick, but the GZD is made by an entirely different company.

Sounds to me like Arko does OEM.

GZD Berber is a very moist stick,nicely malleable,if desired you can just easily press it into a shaving bowl in a matter of seconds.This was a great product,sadly,I see it nowhere for sale nowadays...

It's a very good and inexpensive soap.
