don't understand why some people is saying that the smell is chemical , for me the scent is very natural , very nice , like a speick scent but much more intense . I have 130 soaps in my den so I can compare .
Hello Donald! You should try Pink Woolf shaving soaps, Trigodon shaving soaps and also vicco sandalwood or without sandalwood shaving creams. All are from India. You will love it!
@@MrDonXX Yup Scent is not good at all of dettol shaving cream and they uses harsh chemicals so I haven't tried till now. Now Vicco comes in bigger tubes and different packaging.
*_Yes Robert people either hate it or love it but we have been getting a 50 50 split on this one I think it a great cream but the scent had put me off personally. Thanks for watching_*
Actually the Dettol anti septic lotion was recommended by IMA(Indian Medical Association). And what reckitt benckiser owner of dettol brand did was they misuses this tag on each and every Dettol named products.
oddly I didn't notice but that sound like it would have it on the label I have since let someone else use it for a while since I did;t like the scent so I can't verify it right now Thank for watching my friend
Yes, here in Belgium Dettol is very well known for its desinfecting products. I guess the smell u talk about is indeed that typical antibacterial desinfecting Dettol smell. I dont like it either, Women buy it because the ads always emphasise the germ killing properties.
Great shave Don. Here in India Dettol is a huge brand for antiseptic products. The shave cream has been branded with that branding expanded to exude the sense of confidence of being anti septic when you shave... its intentional and I don't like it for the same reason. Lathers excellent and scent socks.. too many good Indian shave creams with agreeable scents !
*_I agree cream is more or less a good performer but the scent is the turnoff why use something like this when others will do thanks for watching Manish_*
that razor is awesome i find it gives wonderful shaves and very forgiving . floating blade is very cool . creams are such a subjective taste however that ver here in the uk dettol is an anti septic sort of liquid for cuts and scraps and cleaning down areas that need to be bacteria free . has a very sort of chemical smell to me
Detol is a well loved antiseptic and disinfectant liquid in Europe. To me, it smells of childhood. But I can't say it puts me in the mood the shave, Don.
Good video again. For me.... mmmm dettol is a good cream. I had 2 pack lemmon dettol. Smell Very strong citric fresh... good protection. I like Indian shave products! But now is very very expensive Dettol😢
Here in South Africa Dettol mainly does Antiseptic liquids and body soaps, as well as cleaning products, known for killing germs etc. Growing up with that scent in the house makes you kinda love it. Haven't seen a Dettol shave cream here but will definitely try to get some. Great shave sir
*_Yes, this has been pointed out and most likely the scent of the cream is from the Antiseptic liquids which to me is why it smells like cleaning products. That's for the great feedback Ernest and thanks for watching_*
Hi Donald- Great shave and soap review; thank you! It’s difficult shaving when the scent is not really something you enjoy. I hope you are doing well. Have a great weekend. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, my friend!
As a relatively new subscriber, I am always impressed by your close one-pass shaves. I don't think your style would work for my skin though. But I appreciate your reviews. When a shaver says they don't like a scent, that's good enough for me. There are too many great smelling soaps and creams out there that most shavers do like.
*_Thanks for watching and becoming a subscriber Bart I agree with your comment 100% why waste time and effort this one seems to be unanimous with others who have tried it saw ell._*
Many Dettol products here in the UK, but never seen the shaving cream, maybe they didn’t want people wandering about smelling like a 🚽Take care. Cheers🥃😷
Haha! This I had to see. Dettol (Det - Toll) is a company that is more known for antiseptics / medical disinfectants here in Asia (at one time almost exclusively used in every hospital here in Singapore) and this is the first I have seen a shave cream by them. Going to bet that now that I have mentioned it, you'll probably think of "Hospital Disinfectants" that slowly evolve to a kind of a synthetic fresh lime scent, you'd find in clinics, yes? 😂 The Occam as always just works and gives you a smooth shave. Great shave and have a great day!
I bought the exact same 30% free Dettol about 3 years ago from my local Indian grocery store for $2.99 CDN. I used it once, HATED the scent. Used it twice to try to like it and have never used it again. When people make fun of Arko and they try Dettol they would never make fun of Arko again! Otherwise gtrat shave Brother
So Dettol is available in South Africa as well and it is a very well know brand here but not for shave soap. It is actually known as a very effective antiseptic liquid (which is bright orange in color) and also some antiseptic soaps. The smell of the Dettol antiseptic liquid is very strong and sharp - as a disinfectant liquid would be like. That is likely also why the shave cream is sharp smelling. It may well have a bit of that disinfectant’s scent (& disinfectant) properties. Probably also why the doctors recommend it :) haha Maybe for Covid-19 reasons.
Hi Don, thanks for the shave today. Its been said already but dettol here in the UK is more a cleaning/bleach type of product so I imagine not the type of scent I'd want as a shaving soap, so thanks for taking that one on the chin! Have a good day and catch you on the next one.
Great shave Don, the smell of Dettol reminds me of my childhood in the 80's. A great cleaning product and antiseptic. Have a great weekend. Very best regards Gordon.👍👌
I have to disagree. The ice cool is way better than the fresh. So far this has been better than many shave soaps. I get close comfortable shaves no nicks cuts and i love the scent. Its all i use now
Here in the UK detol is mainly a brand of antiseptic or house cleaning products never knew they made a shave cream, great video Don 👍
*_Yup, they do - lol and it smells like one too! thanks for watching Jonathan_*
I love this shave cream the cool one in the blue box is my favorite.
don't understand why some people is saying that the smell is chemical , for me the scent is very natural , very nice , like a speick scent but much more intense . I have 130 soaps in my den so I can compare .
*_Yes its been a toss-up about 50 - 50 on the scent and that seems to be the key factor here many do say it a good performing shaving cream_*
Hello Donald! You should try Pink Woolf shaving soaps, Trigodon shaving soaps and also vicco sandalwood or without sandalwood shaving creams. All are from India. You will love it!
*_I'll give them a try this one was good but didn;t agree with the scent Thanks for watching_*
@@MrDonXX Yup Scent is not good at all of dettol shaving cream and they uses harsh chemicals so I haven't tried till now. Now Vicco comes in bigger tubes and different packaging.
Scent is a big player in shaving soap, for me even if it performs well I won’t use it again if the scent is bad.
*_100% agree with you thanks for watching_*
its the best no razor bumps at all (guaranteed)
I have this great soap in my den , the scent is wonderful , very very fresh
*_Yes Robert people either hate it or love it but we have been getting a 50 50 split on this one I think it a great cream but the scent had put me off personally. Thanks for watching_*

OH! that's not good thanks for the tip and thanks for watching
Don does the Dettol shaving cream say antibacterial? Because a lot of Dettol products are for antibacterial, that’s why the shaving soaps smell weird.
oddly I didn't notice but that sound like it would have it on the label I have since let someone else use it for a while since I did;t like the scent so I can't verify it right now Thank for watching my friend

How does it compare to Spieck?
I always keep some Spieck on hand. Its good face skin medication.
*_I never used Spieck so unfortunately I can;t give you an honest answer on that_*

Nice shave Don! I'm not a fan of those industrial antiseptic smells (at least not in a shave soap), but thanks for the video regardless! 😁
*_Thought it was something I should pass on to wet shavers thanks for watching Chris_*
An appealing scent is very important since a great wet shave is an act of wellness to me.
Thanks for showing, Don.
