my face is red-purple after this shaving soap. like i burned my face.it's a good soap,but...

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

If either one of these soap did this to you... don't used the other one they have the same ingredients. Hope you are okay M S! What shaving soaps do you normally use? Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching! :) Take care! :) #Heart

[@vanillamuffinssugaroipunkc2456]

he foaming up of arko is heaven. the scent is hell. the lather is the best I've ever had. fantastic

[@dirtyfingernails3800]

I love arko,really enjoy that old school generic soap smell.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Yeah me too, old school is always good my friend! Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching Dirty Fingernails! 👍🙂👍

[@Casiomidi1]

I shaved yesterday with ARKO and today with Derby. Both great soaps. I felt the 'cushioning' of Derby, being a thinner lather, less than ARKO, but. the scent of Derby fragrances my bathroom more than ARKO. If you mix the two soaps you have the best of the two soaps

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

What a great idea mixing ARKO with Derby! :) Yeah Buddy, I may have to give that a go! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good week, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

[@AHappyBachelor]

I've been wetshaving for over 20 years now and I've never once tried Arko. Just ordered a stick online, and I'm sure I'll like it. Thanks for the video

Thank you for sharing the review. I have used both, and I definitely prefer the Derby. Derby also makes some nice tubed shave creams. My favorite is the Lemon scented version. Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

I will have to look for the Derby Lemon scented shaving cream that sounds great! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching Spectre! 📢💥🎇 Happy New Year to you and yours mt friend! 🎇💥📢

[@ordinaryshaver3665]

Can't go wrong with either one in my humble opinion. I also like the Palmolive, boots, and Wilkinsin Sword sticks.

Arko and Derby are 2 biggest shaving companies in Turkey and back in the day they had funny commercials to one up each other

Every time i use a different soap i swear its the best one, i seem to love them all, these two are great, freshly scented barber shop smells. Most are very cheap too.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Totally agree Julian both Arko and Derby are fresh clean barber shop scents! ;) Yeah Buddy! Sounds like you're picking out some great soaps if you love them all! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

Jody, it was my pleasure to make this video for you! Thanks for the great question! Hopefully this video will help you decide which soap stick to buy... Thanks for the great comments and thanks for watching! Have a Great Friday and have a Good Weekend My Friend! 👍🙂👍

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

Nice video Eric, Arko seems to fit better in the bowl, they are both two good products, cheap, but very effective. I like them very much! Happy Sunday my friend !!!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Marco, I believe Arko is a bit softer then Derby and easier to press into a bowl! ;) Both are good soaps and work quite well! Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Happy Sunday and take care, my friend! :) #Heart

[@molonlabe9602]

Arko for me. I use other soaps/creams from time to time just for a change of pace, but Arko is my "daily driver". For travel, I press some into one of those small flat face cream containers (Nivea) and by sparingly using it, I can get 3 - 4 weeks out of it. It's also a solid and not a liquid (like creams are) in the eyes of TSA/flying security rules.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Molon, Arko is a fine shaving soap for sure! ;) Yeah buddy and the TSA is cool with it plus 3 - 4 shaves at a go that makes for a great travel soap! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good weekend, take care and stay safe my friend! :) Heart

[@tbrew8222]

I use similar containers for tje same things. Chapstick tubes also work well, but being crammed in withput a preformed center hole, it wont baco in easily if you overextend the chapstick plunger, but is great for applying a direct face lather. small round balm tins and such work very well.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

[@saxman7131]

I was looking at some Arko and Derby soap and decided to check out some reviews. Lo and behold I find my favorite channel has a review on both in the same video. Thanks.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Scott both Arko and Derby are wonderful tallow based shave soap :) I like both of them as you have probably already found out! ;) Either one would be great addition to the Shave Den! Thanks for the great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching my friend! :) #Heart

[@saxman7131]

Plus. I ordered a RazoRoc 400 Shaving brush. A rubberset 400 clone. $20 instead of $200. Lol. Synthetic knot but I can fix that. It has a nice long handle. I also figured out why my Omega was different than yours. Mine was a Marvy (Omega) not made by Omega. Exact copy.

[@saxman7131]

Adventures In Wet Shaving I believe the seller has both. Let see about a deal. Lol

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Scott your RazoRoc 400 Shaving brush sounds great (I'm a fan of the long handle's too)! :) That makes sense, it's a clone of the Omega got it! Good to know, thanks! :) #Heart

[@saxman7131]

Adventures In Wet Shaving I got both soaps. Same seller. Free shipping. Very reasonably priced. Basically $3.25 each. Not bad.

[@JoshNieporte]

I love using shave sticks, but it makes me feel like I'm cheating on my "real" soaps. Love that Arko disinfectant smell.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Josh, I'm sure your "Real" soaps will understand! ;) Yeah Buddy Arko is amazing! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good week, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

[@K3Flyguy]

Smell is secondary to me, the amount of water the lather will hold against my face while lathered is #1 concern for me. #2 is the slip the soap has, but I will use olive oil applied before cream if I need to. I don't ever have the opportunity to shave just out of the shower, always a dry beard to start with.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Well said Michael a well hydrated slick lather is the way to go! I have used coconut oil in the past before lathering for that extra slickness too. Why don't you shave after you shower? I like a dry beard to start with as well. Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching, my friend! :) #Heart

[@DavidLeBlanc]

I like Derby, it's a go-to soap for me. Picks up on the brush quickly, lathers in the bowl quickly and it makes a slick and creamy lather, yes, quickly.. Arko is on my list of soaps to try, so, Eric, thanks for the review.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

David both Arko and Derby work well and if you like Derby Arko will be a good fit! ;) Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching my friend! :) Hope the rest of your week is good! :) #Heart

Hi Erik. A real good comparison of the two. I have a lot of Arko sticks and I like it a lot. Never have tried Derby. One thing I`ve noticed is that Arko is usually somewhat cheaper in price than Derby. Thanks for the video.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Yes it is true Derby does sell at a little higher price then Arko and it has a milder scent as well. Arko is definitely a great go to shave soap stick to get a fantastic lather. Thanks so much for the great comment and for watching Brain! 👍🙂👍

[@GeorgeCampbell1964]

Arko is a good soap for the price. Good work, Eric!!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

George, I have really enjoyed Arko especially at the price... Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! 👍🙂👍

Adventures In Wet Shaving.. One thing I've never done is stick lather. I intend to try that at some point.

@@AdventuresInWetShaving Thank you, have a great week too:)

[@kyproset]

Happy new year Eric, I have no problem with Arko apart that it goes rancid pretty fast. I usually rub it against the stubble and bloom it with the brush. The Derby I never tried, but a couple of days ago I saw Palmolive shaving soap at the grocery store and bought one.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Palmolive, very cool you will have to let me know your feelings on how the Palmolive works for you my friend. I would be very curious what you think about the scent profile and the performance. I started blooming the soap sticks like Arko and Derby in a bowl because I'm able to have more control on the amount of soap I can load on the brush. It seem to work better for me then rubbing the stick on my stubble. Thanks for the great comment and for watching! 📢💥🎇 Happy New Year Kypros, Best Wishes my friend! 🎇💥📢 👍🙂👍

[@andrewwilson9617]

Hello from Antalya, Turkey. After 18 years of living in Turkey I love Arko soap sticks. I can't find Derby sticks anywhere. It seems that the Turks don't like hard soaps and they just make the Derby sticks for export.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Very cool Andrew! ;) Yeah, Buddy Arko soap stick have a wonderful scent and great performance too. Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

[@RobertNES816]

Why not just use Arko and Derby soaps in a bowl? They lather up easier then the stick versions and work just as good.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great question Robert! ;) I was originally gifted the Arko from a viewer. When I was buying Derby. I found it in the stick version so that's what I got. Next time I'll definitely go for the bowl! Thanks for your great question and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart

[@molonlabe9602]

Why complicate it? Face lathering works just fine, maybe even better. I can use a stick of ARKO for months by face lathering with less waste and less clean-up. To each their own, though.

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Molon you are so right! Face lathering is my favorite method for lathering as well, buddy! Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) #Heart

[@RobertNES816]

@@molonlabe9602 I do face lather. When I said arko in a bowl I meant how it comes in puck form in the plastic container. I usually load the brush off the puck and then face lather.
