Time for a new soap?

[Frankieabbott]

For the past four years I've been a Crabtree and Evelyn user. The Sienna soap or the Indian Sandalwood cream. But I fancy a change. Arko is calling to me but I'm open to any suggestions.

I can highly recommend the 1912 from Wickham Soap Company, great soap with a good range of scents.

I could only recommend OSP and P&B from my limited experience but both perform well but P&B seems more light in scent if that helps?

Good way to try before you buy, the world is your oyster with scents and permutations but also YMMV with its interpretation too.

If you can get some, Calani Oriental Plum is fantastic in both performance and of course scent.

Second this. Both fantastic.

Nothing wrong with Arko .

Go on m8, we know you're worth it. Give Nanny, Wickhams or one of our other craftspeople a go. Or see how a glycerin soap works for you. Arko lathers up if you store it on the same shelf as a wet shaving brush and doubles as a toilet air freshener. F/Billy had an unfortunate skin reaction to it I believe, however he's the only one I've heard of.

As others have already said, give one of our artisans a try. My personal favourite are P&B Sanskrit & OSP Neroli but all are good. Pick a scent you fancy & enjoy.

For me, it's always the time for a new soap. Highly recommend Saponificio Varesino (any scent) or Nanny's Silly Soap (I like Citrus Zinger and Warm Spice the most).

MR ARKO is Great Bog Cleaner..Wickham 1912 as Mentioned is a Good Soap..There are far Better Tallow Soaps Out there than this Bleach..Valobra, Haslinger & Vitos are Just a few Top Notch Tallow Soaps..You Will get Vitos as Cheap as Chips on UK EBay..

I've a free sample of a shaving soap from a 1 (wo)man band coming. They only do two shaving soaps with matching tonics.

I'm always up for trying something new, especially for free! I'll report back

You have free kit incoming rather than horrendously expensive and difficult to source gear ? Hope you're not attempting to subvert our money guzzling enterprises Mark. You know, the one we took up to save money.

I feel ashamed, I'll delete my account and return to the halls of the cartridge user

Thanks for all the advice folks. I think I've still got a sample sachet of Bluebeard's Revenge that I've had for about a year. I may as well use that then maybe look at trying other samplers.

ah I don't feel arko is good enough to freshen the air around a toilet, or to freshen the toilet bowl itself. I couldn't figure out how to get arko to provide lather for toilet cleansing. if I had I wouldn't have thrown it out.

horrid bleaching compound.

I can't see how anybody can not get Arko to provide lather, you can say many things about Arko but it will lather just at the sight of a brush!
