I dont recommend Derby creams. If you would like to try Turkish Shaving creams, go to Arko's. Arko Shaving creams are much more better. My favourite is Fresh, old name was Ice mint. Here, in Turkey it costs about a dollar. I have many expensive and famous soaps and creams but i always use Arko in the rotation.
Someone was telling me the other day that Arko makes all of derby's cream and soaps, if so I wonder if it's just rebranding or if the recipes are different. I have some lavender cream from Derby that works well but the only arko product I have used is the shave stick.
Arko and Derby products are from two different companies. Evyap Company produces Arko's. Azmüsebat Company produces Derby products.
Yes sir. I meant Arko products are better performers. Derby creams and soap is not too bad, i agree with you. I prefer Arko.
I have the derby menthol. I like it alright. But I did add some more crushed menthol crystals for more cooling feeling.
I have used and still use both the Menthol and lemon scent. While the Menthol as mentioned earlier is a bit lacking, it is a fine cream performance wise. If you like a stronger scent derby may not be the best choice.
Not going to lie, I have the following; Derby Lavender Derby Moisturizing Derby Menthol Derby Lemon Derby Lemon (Local Turkish Version) Derby Shave Stick Derby Tub All good stuff and dirt cheap where I am at.
I used the Lavender and Lemon creams several years back when Derby blades first hit the US market (and I started wet shaving). Some of the retailers were giving the cream away with a bulk blade purchase. As I remember, the cream performed mid-range-nicely but I found the scents to be too light for my taste and somewhat artificial smelling. But, even at full retail they were a good price.
