i had to wrap it in a sandwich bag. the bathroom and half the house smelled like laundry soap from exposure overnight! it may be premature but all my soaps may end up as a pif. so far only tabac is in its league for the price.

I agree. I've grown to love the scent and would be quite upset if I couldn't get a whiff of it now and again.
But I see why it bothers some gents. Anyway, do give it a week of fidelity and you'll be quite amazed by how good the lather is. You can really manipulate Arko's lather to be slicker, denser, airier, however you want it. Remarkable stuff. And by the time you have tried it for a week, yeah, you might crave that barbershop-and-incense soapiness.

razorsdirect.com has free shipping and the price of 5 sticks is $8.99 delivered! may be time to re-think my shaving directives and get back to cheap and effective measures. no more $20 soaps and $25-$38 creams!

arko to me smells like detergent. performance wise i think it is ok, but there are better performers out there by a long chalk.
it is dirt cheap though, so if you are on a budget and can bear the smell, then go for it, although even then i think there are better performers in that rough price bracket such a la toja.

I decided to drop it from the BullGoose line-up. With it available from amazon for less than $1.00 a stick, there is no profit.gil3591 wrote:and i couldn't find it on your website , either, phil!BullGoose wrote:Man...I really should not have sent you that stick.
