Arko Shaving Soap 70Gr Stick

Arko Shaving Soap Stick 70g: The Turkish Barbershop Classic That Lathers in Seconds

Arko Shaving Soap Stick is a 70g hard soap stick in the familiar green sleeve, and it is one of the most recognised shaving soaps on the planet. Instead of loading a brush from a puck, you rub the stick straight onto a wet face and work it into lather with a brush or with your hands, which is exactly why barbers and traditional wet shavers keep one on the shelf. It suits daily shavers, straight razor and safety razor users, and anyone who wants a real soap lather without a fussy routine.

Key Features

• Face-lathering format: The stick applies soap directly where you need it, so there is no bowl, puck or loading step to slow you down.
• Thick, stable lather: Builds a dense cushion in seconds and holds it long enough to work through a full multi-pass shave.
• Softens the beard: Warm water plus a worked lather leaves stubble easier for the blade to cut cleanly.
• Cushion between blade and skin: The lather layer is what lets a razor glide instead of dragging over dry patches.
• Unmistakable clean scent: The classic fresh soap scent is part of the reason this stick has stayed a barbershop fixture for decades.
• Travel and gym bag friendly: A solid 70g stick in a twist sleeve does not leak, spill or count as a liquid in your wash bag.
• Long-running value: A single stick covers a long stretch of daily shaves, which is why shops buy it by the box.

How to Use

1. Wet your face thoroughly with warm water, ideally after a shower or a hot towel.
2. Twist the stick up and rub it directly over the beard area in short strokes until the skin feels coated.
3. Work the soap into lather with a damp shaving brush in small circles, or with your fingertips if you do not use a brush.
4. Add a few drops of water at a time until the lather turns thick and glossy rather than airy.
5. Shave with the grain first, relather for any second pass, then rinse with cool water. Twist the stick back down and cap it so it dries out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a shaving brush?

A brush builds a richer lather and lifts the hair, but the stick can also be rubbed on and worked up with wet fingertips when you are travelling.

Can I use it in a bowl or mug?

Yes. Shave slices off the stick into a bowl, or press the whole stick down into a mug, and load your brush from there like a puck.

My lather is thin and bubbly. What went wrong?

Usually too much water at once or not enough soap. Rub more soap onto the face and add water a few drops at a time while you work the brush.

How long does one stick last?

That depends on how heavily you load, but a 70g stick covers a long run of daily shaves, and it lasts longer if you keep it dry between uses.

How should I store it?

Twist the soap back into the sleeve, cap it and keep it out of standing water on the sink edge.
