Bud, what is your take on the product description: "Pleasant, lemon scent"?
Arko Smell? Really?

I thank SteveWY for starting this thread. At long last I used this lemon smelling stick for the first time.
I washed and rinsed, leaving my face wet. I rubbed it liberally on my face and lathered. I easily ended up with enough in the brush for a 2 pass shave and maybe more.
Result? The shave was smooth, close and nick free; I think it compares favorably to my go-to Tabac soap which I bowl lather. When I travel I will put it in a zip lock bag since I have no container yet. I have no criticism of the performance OR the scent of Arko and will continue to use it.

Love this! That's what it is... a genetic anomaly that predisposes certain humans to dislike Arko!
P.S. I thought this thread was long-since dormant. I' back and subscribing again!

Hey my friend! Thanks for reminding me about this thread. I don't know if the Arko stick will fit in a pill bottle like Palmolive will but maybe try a twist-up container available readily. Try West Coast Shaving. I have my Arko in one of those and it stores nicely, twist up for action, and the extra height of the twist-up makes a nice handle.

Used Arko again this morning. The smell is fine, like a creamy lemon pledge. The lather is excellent. It's a great product at a great price. Time to try some Arko aftershaves next...
I'm with you mate!! Don't know what the issue others are having with arko. Just came back from Turkey and bought a heap of arko back with me. I've been using it ever since. Great stuff!!
Arko reminded me of a house of ill repute in Istanbul.
Sorry guys, it was so nauseating I threw it away.

You should have wrapped it in tinfoil and duct taped it to your chest just to have some fun with customs.
That would be a very bad idea ....
Lemon Pledge, but it works great for me.
I just ordered a 12 pack.
Never tried it before....just couldnt resist being set for life for $15.

I've been tempted but wonder what I would do with 12 sticks.
Have enough ARKO for the next 15 years?
