Favorite Shave Stick???

I've only tried a couple of these, Lea and Palmolive. I must say I like them both but am curious about getting some more different ones to try out. Oh, I know that Tabac makes one but I can not stand the scent of Tabac so let's get some info out there on others please.

Inquiring minds want to know and thanks in advance

Speick is another larger production one. And then in the artisan world there’s Mystic Water, Mike’s (although he tends to not have them in stock, I get the sense he might just make them on request), and Ethos.

In terms of easy lather and protection Arko is hard to beat. Assuming you don't mind the smell.

La Toja is my favoured stick. Pleasant, light scent, and the soap performs very well.

Tried many…but…Never found a stick that performed nearly as well as a great soap…

Well, ordered 5 different ones and will find out if they are as good/better than the soaps I have.  I reckon shaving is a YMMV thing

Speick is nice, but I kinda' like the ones I've "stickified" myself.

Tabac shredded, moistened, and mashed into a jumbo glue stick tube:



This was Williams Mug shredded, moistened, and mashed into a Mennen Speedstick container:



I should try it with a croap sometime.

[edit - you can always substitute a bit of aftershave for some of the water, to give it a different scent. Google "Brutus Vilius" (with quotes), for my Brut+Williams stick. ]

I love shave sticks, so I have quite a few.

The Palmolive stick is pretty nice, the Wilkinson blue stick is okay (usable, but not spectacular). LaToja is very nice, if you like the scent. Tabac sticks are amazing, but again - only if you like the scent. I still have several of the IrischMoos sticks that I love.

But, like BBSBOI stated: Arko is amazing (if you can handle the scent). I do, and I'd say it outperforms almost every other stick I've used. If you really cannot stand the scent, buy one, open it and let it air out until you don't notice the scent. Given how cheap it is, you lose very little by trying it out.

John Rose : How did the Williams work as a stick? I never got it to work well as soap, and now that it is discontinued I will never find out, I guess.

Well enough, I suppose. I don't use many sticks to compare it to.
I found that it helped to bloom the tip by standing it up in a pill bottle with 1/4" of water in the bottom while I was getting my shower.
The cap helps to keep it from drying out too quickly, but it will dry out if you only use it once a month or whatever.
