I finally tried my Arko, put in one of the tube dispensers that i found on Amazon, and rubbed it on my wet face and lathered it up. I was amazed. It is now my "go-to" travel soap, or for use when I'm in a hurry and going to use a DE. I like the smell...it reminds me of a bar soap from my childhood, and many is it reasonably priced when compared to my assortment of 10-30 buck soaps and creams.
