Scent brought back childhood memories.
Some have said that they don't like the smell. Maybe they don't associate it with the same thing I do. It's the scent of vacation. A happy place. It took me a while to figure it out, but it reminded me of the generic tiny hotel soaps that were offered at every hotel stay when I was young. Now hotels offer their own special scents and that experience is lost. But I get a mini vacation every time my husband shaves. And he gets a great shave. He loves the lather and how long lasting it is. He's put part of a stick into an old container so it stays clean and fresh. Great value, too.

Works great. Aroma ???
It does have a slight janitorial aroma but it works great and the price is right!

Arko is fabulous shave soap
I have been using Arko shave soap for years . It is worth the buy. It gives you plenty of lather, especially when using a shaving brush. Arko has nice scent and last's a long time. You only need to get a few sticks at a time. A Much-recommended product.

Has a "distinctive" scent, but quite slick.
Works as expected. The scent is kind of a mix of lemon, rice-paper, and ??? I can see where people get the "urinal cake" description, but it's not overpowering and doesn't last all day. It's slicker than I imagined it would be, and based on just a few usages looks like it's going to last a long time.I plan on using this as my 'travel soap' so we'll see how that goes. It's a solid so not subject to the US TSA's ounce limit, and being a solid is more suited to face-lathering so I won't need a bowl with it.

Cheap, great lather, smell is fine.
Excellent lather, slick and personally I like the scent. It's just a lemony soap smell and doesn't linger long. It's my new go to shaving soap. I've used many brands of expensive soaps and this is every bit as good. Some don't like the smell, but if you do it's a great value tallow based soap. Doesn't dry my skin out. YMMV

Best shaving soap period.
Without a doubt the best shaving soap i own. I have tried many and this one is the best hands down. I wet my face, and wet the stick a bit. then i rub it on my face and use the brush to build the lather on my face. It allows me a three pass shave if i need to with no dryness and no burn. Closest shave i have had wet shaving also. Smells clean and wont fight against your aftershave. Washed off with out any dryness. Awesome product. All i will use for now on. I have used it for the last week. You owe it to yourself to try this shaving soap.

Misleading Product Description
Misleading product description, I like the Arko shaving stick so when I saw this I thought it was a good deal, it says in the product description that this was 6 sticks for a ridiculously low price, and I would only be paying about 6.00 dollars shipping. Well it came in a box big enough for 6 but only had one stick in it. The soap is great ,but one star for false advertising.

Scent too strong, but has a good shave.
The smell irritates my nostrils, good shave though, but won't be using.
