Derby Shave Stick 

My pleasure, Frank.:)

Thanks!:) Absolutely good for travel.:)

Brian B. Thanks very much! I agree! Shave sticks are terrific for travel! Compact and they leather like crazy! I like the shave I got with the Derby stick. I'm going to be using it again.

Hi, Ross!:) I pretty much just wipe it off (if needed) and let it dry out in the open. Once dry, I place it on the shelf. It's soap.:) For travel and home, there are these cases: www.westcoastshaving.com/products/twist-up-shaving-stick-containers-2-oz?_pos=1&_sid=1c20b875c&_ss=r Also, any of these plastic tube shaving brush containers could hold a shave stick: amzn.to/3agjWrh (affiliate link). And these, I think, would possibly work: amzn.to/33GJlbf (affiliate link).

:):) LOL!:) Thanks, Michal.:)

Steven, Thanks for the kind words.:) I think you're gonna love using the shave stick!:) Derby is right up there with Arko.:) makes heaps of lathe.:) Any brush can be used, I've gotten best results with a good synthetic brush followed by a good boar brush.:) Enjoy!:)

Shave sticks are impressive with how well they can lather. I love them. Hope you enjoy it.

@@TravisPeriod agree!:)

I like it a lot!:) Probably the only SS razor (AFAIK) at that price point!:) I have several razors with SS handles but the base plate and cap are zamak. The Fendrihan is fully stainless.:) I've never tried Fendrihan's MKI razors, but I've heard they are rather aggressive. As I understand it, the MKII was designed to be milder. It's a mild to almost aggressive shave. I believe these are made in Taiwan. Very well made and the precision/blade alignment is spot on. The stainless steel cap is nicely polished, but the handle is not...it's much more organic and rugged.

Mark Szorady Taiwan makes a lot of quality cutlery now so razors would be right in their wheelhouse ... Thanks Mark

My pleasure, Rick.:) Thanks for your informative comments.:)

I understand.>) Some folks don't like the Arko scent, so this is an alternative.:)

I can understand where folks will have different takes on these blades.:) I'm fair-skinned so, for me, they work.:) Someone with a thicker beard, maybe not so much. Still, others may find they do work.:) As they say, YMMV.:)

Try the Derby Premium!

Well, Zell, YMMV, as they say.:)
