Arko Shaving Cream Soap Stick (6 Pieces) by EVYAP

Excellent product and highly economical.

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.

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

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.

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

No more cans yay! Works as well as shaving cream, but no more can waste and cheaper! Win win!

Seriously... why would you use anything else? Genuine question.Provides an incredibly rich lather that lasts and does an outstanding job of promoting a comfortable and effective baseline for a BBS shave. Others have complained about the scent... it is lemony... get over it. I have been wet shaving for almost 50 years... all but two with a DE safety razor (the two, I stupidly experimented with these ridiculously expensive, not anywhere near as good multi blade razors). You simply cannot go wrong with this product. It lathers extremely well, it lasts a long time on the face, it doesn't dry out the skin, it provides a superb cushion for the blade and... on top of all this... it is ridiculously cheap! Other than snob value, why on earth would you pay 30 plus dollars for a boutique shaving soap that MIGHT, at BEST, provide the same as Arko....????

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.
