I was going to wait till tomorrow to do a shave but I couldn't hold my horses. Razor: RazoRock German 37 Slant Blade: Wilkinson Sword Brush: WD 24mm Boar Aftershave: Sterling Glacial Unscented I did 2 pass head shave, WTG and XTG. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable of a shave it was. Now if I had to score the creams performance it would be as follows. Ease of Making Lather: 9/10 Easy least Slickness: 9/10 Cushion: 8/10 Menthol Strength: 3/10 Mild All in all, great cream to enjoy a shave. Hope this helps someone!
Here's my own personal review of the Arko Moist cream: Ease of lathering: 10/10-- So easy that it just explodes. Big deal Longevity of lather: 10/10--Lasts forever and a day. Big deal General skincare: 0/10--Not too moisturizing as its name might imply. Very subdued menthol effect. Scent: 0/10--Too artificial and blah. Not for me. Price: 10/10--Cheap as junk. Big deal. Would I buy again: 0/10--Not a chance. Sorry. Not gonna happen. It's one of the few Arko creams which I don't like because it's got no skincare which is so important to me both during and after a shave. I had a couple of tubes of this stuff and I gave them away. Hey you can't win 'em all, right?
@Yehuda D, are there any Arko creams that you enjoy the menthol level on? They seem cheap enough, but I want something I can get a chill from...
@dustmite Arko Ice Mint is much cooler. It's the only Arko cream which has a significant menthol effect.
