So I picked up some Arko after reading some pretty decent reviews here and I have to agree with the positive comments.
I cut up my first stick and mushed it into my Grandfather's old shaving mug. I put a little bit of warm water on top as I showered and then dumped the water. Hit the soap with my wet brush about 10-12 rotations in the cup and had a really great lather and slick shave. The scent wasn't as bad as I expected and my wife agreed. It mostly smells like Ivory to both of us.
So if you have been thinking about giving it a shot I'd encourage you to at least try it. Good price and soap!
