Picked up some Arko.

So true. This is one confident dude -- doesn't have anything to prove 'cause he already knows what's up.

Someone should make a comic book of the Arko dude's adventures.

They should print the comic on the inside of the Arko wrapper, like the old Bazooka gum did.

Arko and Derby are good soaps and have a permanent place in my rotation
I think the packaging looks "timeless"

Ok, ok. Ill rstract my statement. Looks like im out voted again. Damn left handed truck driver looses out again. Ha. Ill take another good look at the picuture, print it on my labeler and that is what will go on my (now puck) of Arko in the tin.

Stupid looking picture on it. ... Now i just got to make a much cooler looking sticker for the tin than the stupid face that comes on the stick label.

That "stupid" looking face has been named Kirko by B&B Arko lovers.

Love Arko, use it every day. Both sons use it too, oldest loves the refillable twist up container. Youngest and I both prefer to mash it into a container (see gallery) and load the brush from there. Youngest bought the red bowl because it's cool.

Can't be beat for the price and reliability.

Love the Arko!

Arko is an amazing soap , I love the retro look to it.. The Arko guy is the kewlest!!

I know it is an unpopular opinion but I actually don't think Arko performs as well as a lot of soaps that I have.

Is it cheap - Yes
Reliable - Yes
Will I continue to use it - Yes
Is it the best soap - NO

This is nothing short of brilliant. Who among us wouldn't start collecting these? You should call the phone number on the wrapper and pitch this idea.

I believe I know a few people who speak a bit of Arabic.

Good man! IMO everyone should try the classics, including Arko.

"Timeless" is the perfect word 👍

Arko is wonderful and unpretentious!

Me too, plus one addition. Open up wrapper and air out the stick in the garden shed for a few weeks before use.
