    I love Arko shaving soap....so nice, thick and creamy, and the smell is just a good clean soap smell that disappears as soon as you rinse.

    It's my go to shave soap when I travel. Clean scent and a two year old could lather it. And it's dirt cheap!

    Arko is like a pocket knife. You should always have one with you!

    I use it most of the time. I like everything about it, especially the price.

    I always have some but use it infrequently since I have many better (yet more expensive) options in my den

    Since I first tried Arko about 2 years ago, it's been my go to shave soap. I've successfully tried a fair number of different soaps, but for availability, storability, price and performance Arko IMO just can't be beat! I mash my tubes(2) into a small Ziplock storage container and bowl lather in a SS bowl. The scent is very mild and pleasing, although I wouldn't mind if it had an almond/amarzipan scent. :happy088:

    Very good soap. The price is right. Just not crazy about the skeeter-be-gone scent.

    Read this thread, you'll see Arko being used a few times. As well as other great soap/creams.

    It's one of my travel sticks. I know whatever water I'm using it will lather.

    Pretty sure most here have arko. Definitely a soap everyone should own.

    Excellent quality and excellent price.
    Works well with any water type, and any brush I've ever tried.
    I use it at least twice per week.

    Unsure if I will use my second stick. I opened the first one and it got binned just for the scent.

    It is in my rotation twice. Once as a stick and again as a cream. I just wish it were readily available here in the US.

    I really meant in stores. I would like to avoid shipping charges without having to order $35 or more.

    I love Arko!!! I have two pressed into a glass dish and a tub in my Dopp. I always keep some on hand for freebies in a trade or sale or to give to new converts.
