Heck yeah! A little over a year, I wanted to try Arko, as it had pretty much the same ingredients as vintage Williams, so, yeah, I bought the 12 pack. I still haven't used up the first stick (I'm still using my other soaps, too), and I gave one to my brother in law, so these should probably last me until I retire.
 
Some of us truly hate the scent of Arko. I am fine with it, and would compare it to the scent of Ivory soap, but more intense. I like it's performance, and you can't beat the price with a stick. It's not in my rotation, however, there are too many soaps and creams I like better.
 
At first I thought I'll join the Arko cult, but ...

It really dries out my face too severely. I have to apply lip balm to my lips after shaving if it comes in contact with them while brushing/lathering. I also get some skin irritation and itch.

Also, on the protection front it's not that good to me.

Overall great soap, great value, but not getting along with my face.

Arko is cheap and performs, but dries my skin too.
My relationship with Arko had to come to an end due to the chemical-detergent scent.
 
I don't care for Arko.. I can't say it performed poorly, but I could "feel" it on my face after I was done using it. I don't enjoy using a soap I want to keep rinsing off.

I threw it out, I hated to waste it, but life is too short to use something you don't enjoy, especially when I use safety razors for the enjoyment of it.
