MDC is a soap that I load with swirls , then work up a lather on the face. It does take a few times to get the technique down when it comes to MDC.


Admittedly, I only tried an Arko shave stick one time. I did not care at all for the scent. It was bad enough that I wiped off the Arko lather, tossed it out & finished with Cella.

To be fair, maybe the Arko was bad due to age, as I bought it from a display case that looked like no one had opened it in years.

So, to me there is no comparison between the two.
