The "value" argument always spirals out of control pretty quickly here, and it all hinges on how you define value and worth.

Arlington is far better than AoS in all aspects : quality of lather, ease of lathering, scent and performance
I'd really like to know what products are being used that render the AOS "lacking". I've tried almost every highly touted product out there, and I love them. Not arguing, I just want to know what I need to go get
Also, I'd wager that the idea that Arlington is better (in any way other than scent) than AoS would be a decidedly minority opinion. I could be wrong as I'm not very smart
...I prefer the Valobra/AoS option. That's the only soap on the market than I can almost guarantee that no one will have allergic reactions to, especially if you opt for the unscented version.
If you have a Nordstroms you can give the AoS soaps the sniff test to see which one you like best.
They are excellent but the gap between AoS and D.R. Harris or MWF is smaller IMHO than the gap the latter 2 have over Parabeno errr... Proraso.
