hi all i have bought a couple of these shave sticks to get me started i really have no comparison but i cant believe how good these are for the money i paid 50 pence!!! so my question is about storage once you get it out the box it is wrapped in a kind of tin foil do you save the box? try to save the foil and re wrap it every time? or do you just let it stand naked? im sure i am over thinking this massively its a 50p shave stick but i was just wondering thanks Nathan.
For me I just leave it as it is, and it just sits there on the shelf. I don't know if that's the best thing to do, but its what I do and it has worked great so far.
If the stick is used everyday, I don't think a container is necessary. Having said that, in the past..... containers were common.
I grated mine in to a bowl and lather it there, it loads the brush quicker, and since i don't face lather stick form is a bit unpractical for me. And btw, love the Palmolive best bang for buck anywhere
If you don't travel with your shaving stick there's no real need for a protective container. Having it sit around your shave den is good enough - and it takes quite a long time for it (even exposed to air) to lose its scent, will probably mellow out though.
West Coast Shaving sells containers specifically designed for shaving sticks and they can often be found on eBay as well. http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Twist-up-Shaving-Stick-Containers-2-oz_p_649.html http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Twist-up-Shaving-Stick-Containers-75-oz_p_650.html
Any thoughts on the stick compared to the cream? I once had the cream, but found the lather quite "poor" compared to most other creams. But OMG I loved the scent, so if the stick's better I'll be getting me some of that
You can grate it up and put it in a bowl that can be sealed / capped. More than one way to use and store it. Today's shave.
stick is great a bit hard so face rubbing is not as easy as arko , great lather and works nicely in a bowl
I grate mine in a bowl as well, but I need a little bigger bowl cuz my bowl makes it a bit hard to lather =P I think it will last a long time without the foil or package. Even the palmolive stick costs a lot more in sweden approximately 3-6 dollars or 2 pounds
I've never had succes with face lathering, so no matter a soaps form, it ends its days in a bowl here
Other options to the West Coast Shave containers are Pharmacy bottles or round push-up deodorant holders.
The Palmolive stick is one of the easiest soaps to use. I have kept it in stick form and face lather.
The same here, I just rub it all over my face and neck and I lather it up with my brush. It works great that way.
Thats one of my favorite soaps too but i think i like speik a little better just because of the smell
