    Hi, this is Uncle Martin from Arkoland (some people call it Turkey).
    I am 45 years old academics and home made soap producer as a hobby. I make my own shaving soaps at home. (cacoa and lanoline, tallow lanoline hard soaps)

    I like all tabac products for its magnificant smell. But I also like cella and palmolive.

    I have started to shave with a DE (Mühle R89) since last month and I would say it is a real shave.

    Thank you very much for creating this lovely forum

    cheers

    Uncle Martin

    You make your own soap! I am impressed. Do you make it from raw ingredients, or blend Melt & Pour soaps? (I do Melt & Pour, because I am scared to work with lye, at home.)

    Welcome to the den! If I lived in Arkoland, I would probably start making my own soaps too!:D

    hello dear

    yes I do real soap processing using lye. But it is extremly dangerous if you dont follow safety rules. Now I am developing my own formula for a good shaving soap and my intention is to sell it through a web site in the near future.

    regards

    Martin

    Thank you for your warm welcoming

    Although i like citrus smell of Arko, we Turks have very limited shaving soaps alternatives in Turkish market (Derby, GZD, Tweex, Camelot and Fume) So I order other well known soaps like Cella, Palmolive, Wilkinson, Erasmic, Proroso, MWF and my favorite Tabac.

    regards

    Martin

    Welcome!

    I've been to Turkey once but only for a week as a tourist. I wish I had at least a month, beautiful country and loads to see.
