    Default Arko shaving creams (Turkey)

    Recently added some Turkish "Arko Citrus" shaving cream to my rotation, I got it from The Dutch Shaving Shop. They come in a 100g (=3.52oz) tube and cost merely €1.95 (=$2.88)
    It transforms into a really nice creamy lather and has a very pleasant scent to it. After the shave which I finished with "Arko Citrus Cologne" (Kolonya) it felt like I returned from my local
    Turkish barber shop where I usually go to have a hair cut.

    I don't know if the Arko products are available in the US but was wondering if anyone else tried one of their other "flavours" and if so, how they are?

    I've been thinking about it...haven't gotten myself to spend money on it though.

    I really really like the Commando (Both cream and aftershave/cologne)! Excellent stuff and you cannot beat the price!!

    Absolutely in my rotation!

    How would you describe the scent of the Commando cream?
    I've been lurking for that one as well.

    The Arko products are probably the best buy for the buck on planet earth!

    We can buy them in the states here: http://www.tulumba.com/default.asp

    The shipping is amazingly fast. I've used their shave stick, their shave cream, and Commando A/S. All are great!

    +1 on the Commando. It has a strong floral/citrus scent. Not overwhelming. The matching aftershave has great staying power. The shaving cream leaves my skin feeling moisturized.
