To me it smells just like Ivory soap. Am I the only one?

I have no idea what ivory soap smells like. Is it a shaving soap?

It's a standard bath soap here in the States. (You know us Americans, we assume the rest of the world has exactly the same products as ours. LOL)

Floating soap…well I never…lol

Got to agree with you on the Arko, it reminds me of the old barber shops too over here. There is something about a lemony scent that always reminds of clean. Just trying out some JM Fraser's shaving cream and if you like lemony scent this has it in spades and no wonder I think it is meant for the barbers trade coming in 450ml plastic containers.

Ivory soap is a hand soap usually in bar form.

It seems I learn something new every time I come on here.

Arko doesn't really remind me of any soap I have smelled apart from the Barber shop smell of course.

I'm frankly amazed thats such a cheap soap does so well in the lather and the moisturising stakes. It's going to be
tough to beat in so many categories.

I have just started looking at Barber supply stores here. I'm quite interested in 1L of Wahl Bay rum…lol

I hope you like the Fraser's, it sounds like half a lifetimes worth

More than a lifetimes worth at my age. Yea, I do like it. It is another one of those soaps that, like Arko, does a good job at what it is supposed to do and not break the bank. Love cheap and cheerful.

Wow, both feet in then
