    Re: Valobra stick vs Arko stick?

    Posted by John C on March 10, 2009, 12:33 am, in reply to "Valobra stick vs Arko stick?"

    The Valobra is excellent, as is the Erasmic. I'd be hard pressed to choose between them, though the Valobra doesn't have much of a scent except generic soapy. I haven't used the Erasmic cream, but the stick is just delightful.

    By the way, another vendor says that the Erasmic stick has recently changed to a non-tallow formulation, so you might want to double-check before ordering.
