Am I weird?

Just picked up a box of Arko the other day. I was nervous of ordering it because everyone said the smell was not great, so I put off ordering any for a long time. I finally just broke down and bought a whole box. When it arrived I was pumped no matter what the outcome of how bad it stank. However I was pleased when I opened the box, I opened up a stick and put it right up to my nose and took a big whiff- thought, hmm.. this isn't too shabby.. Lets see how it shaves! I go into the bathroom, do my pre-shave routine. Rub some arko on the face, wet my brush and lather away.. This stuff just will lather for days! Also my first time ever face lathering, however it was so easy and perfect lather I was amazed.. Anyways... Long story short, I love the smell of arko..

Am I weird? Everytime I walk into the bathroom I pick up my open stick and smell it and set it down.. I can't get enough of the stuff! I've also started sniffing brushes too.. Whats happening?
 
You like Arko. Welcome to the 50% ! It seems to be polarizing on smell, but almost everyone agrees it's a lather-bomb!
 
I like it.

It can make me break out though if I face lather with it. I mush it in a bowl. Then I don't have to worry about it.
 
I don't mind the smell at all either. When mine arrived, I had the same experience and thought the comments around here might have been an inside joke or something. It is good soap, it works like a soap should, it smells like soap, and it is some slick stuff. Rock it out!

Yes.

Well, I'm just kidding because I don't know - never smelled it. I've read so many posts about how it stinks I've never pulled the trigger. Maybe your post will do the trick.
 
bought a stick a few months ago...my brick of sticks arrived this past week. I guess I'm with you :)

I couldn't make myself buy only a stick to try out.. 12 sticks for $18 w/ free 2 day shipping vs 1 stick for $5~ and free standard shipping (weekish) I figured if I hated it I would sell them on here. But I love it! and now I can put a stick in every room of the house, and one for the car for a air freshener. I mean... I'd never do that! ;) haha
 
I enjoy Arko. I like the smell and it works well for me. I will be ordering a case soon, and my son is also enjoying it. I am right there with you, brother!
 
You're not wierd. Normal I would say. Heck, I put a piece in my truck for an air freshener. Still love the smell.
