Arko has always been one of my go to soaps. Lathers like crazy and I never had a problem with the scent. The packaging looks like something from the 1950s because it is from the 50s just not easily available in the states before the Internet. Just thought I'd share.

Hi Rich. I use arko all the time. A great soap and for the price [I recently bought 12 sticks for about$13.50 shipping included] I can live with the scent all day long.

I am with you, I love ARKO and use the sticks a lot. The lather is second to none, and I have grown to love the scent. This is a glorious soap.

It contains tallow and is one of the best shaving soaps at any price in my opinion. The other one I use with talllow is Cella. Both unbeatable.

It has been indispensable for the barbers and men of our country for years, and still is. A soap that has carried its nostalgic style and formula from the past to the present for years. Soap is a tallow-based product. There are many people in our country as well as abroad. Since it is a hard soap, its service life is long. It is the crown of our country's barbers due to its economic nature. 75 gr. stick and 90 gr. bowls available. It has a structure that creates a fast and voluminous foam. It adapts well to oily and normal skin. It cannot be said that dry skin likes much. After shaving, the skin may feel slightly dry and tight. Its scent, the classic soap scum that resembles cleanliness, sensitive noses stated that they felt a slight smell of lemon from the bottom.

Love the Arko soap, both the stick and the puck. Don't mind the scent either. To me, it just smells clean, and the performance is great.

There's no need to soak this soap before using. Just wet the brush and lather straight on the bar. The scent of mine is like old barber shop soap or kind of like Ivory soap. Mine has no lemon scent.

just tried Arko for the 1st time. wasn't slick at all! i dont get it. everyone says it's slick. i whipped it in a dog bowl. was like the dollar tree soap. Palmolive was better and it wasn't very slick but Arko was zero. what am i missing?

The smell if the soap... this smell if made old style. Soaps were made for years back in the day, years ago this way. Every house hold store with bathroom, bar, where ever had this kind if soap... it was the only kind made. I'm guessing it's the process of how it was/ is made. It even came in shavings when you were in a bar bathroom.. a 2 or 3 inch leaver one would push up.. on the wall mounted machine and dry shavings would drop into your hand.

The smell isn’t the best but it really isn’t that bad. It just smells like cheap soap (which it is). It is by far my best lathering soap I have. I absolutely adore the tallow based soaps.

Leave the soap out without the cap on for a week or so the smell dissipates and it ends up just smelling like clean soap

Rich, what I am doing wrong with Arco. It breaks down more than any soap I have. Do you think it might be my water being too hard? I am thinking about mixing in some Kiss my face cream just to keep it from dissipating so bad. I agree it smells terrible !
