Thread: Anyone tried Arko soap?

If you haven't and you're in Bris, I just got some.

PM me if you'd like to try it.

I used it last night and it was very nice - makes a great lather and the smell is OK (although I was using a new brush which stinks....hehehehe)

There are quite a few threads about ARKO. I just got three sticks the day before yesterday from an associate in Macedonia. I used it yesterday morning and this morning, I like it a lot it is very simple and easy to use. I am a beginner so I don't know much anyway or have anything else to really compare it to besides my SRD soap that came with my kit. I am going to try and face lather my SRD soap tomorrow to compare the two.

Mmmm... Arko.

It's very consistent, so I use it when travelling - it doesn't seem to mind hard or soft water.

I also use it with a newly-honed razor, or when I'm trying a new technique, because the ease of use and consistency eliminates one of the variables.

And I like the wierd smell. And it's cheap.

Used it tonight. Great glide for the price. It right up there with my williams and palmolive.

Just got an order myself and have been using it for a few days. No complaints at all

My travel soap, also. Does smell a bit like Ivory soap (a cheap bath soap in the states, a very plain cheap tallowate soap that is). The scent that's left behind fortunately doesn't remind of ivory (which I don't mind, it's actually the type of soap I use in the bath, but it is a bit offputting to have the shave soap smell a little like a bar that costs me 33 cents).
