Arko isn't even close to as bad as people made out

[FarmerTan]

No, really! Arko is doing a drop of UNSCENTED! LOL

Dude. I fell for it. I'm callin' you out for fake news reporting!

Unscented Arko. That's awfully close to blasphemy my friend!

I really don't get it. If you like the tallow base but don't care for the smell try out the 4 Arko creams available. The scents are quite subdued and inoffensiv and they lather like the stick.

In the UK 4 100 gram tubes sell for about 13 GBP. Yes compared to 10 GBP for 12 sticks this is pricy but come on 3.25 per tube is still a good deal and you don't have to endure "THE SMELL"

btw I like the stick!

In the high end soap threads there are often complaints of their soaps losing a lot of their scents over time. You don't hear those complaints often in the Arko threads.

ARKO! is an intensely personal experience. The scent is always there, but it’s subtle even when we can’t be.

I can be subtle....

Yeah, probably not.

I love Arko. Yes scent is personal. Some like it, some hate it. Thankfully I love it and love how it performs. Even if it cost 5x what I usually pay for these soaps, I'd still but them. I've tried dozens of soaps from very popular ones to artisan products. None compares to Arko in terms of performance IMO. It works perfectly every single time regardless of which country I'm in or the type of water that comes out from these taps.

As much as I respect you brothers, I have found over these many years that my assessment of the shaving products I use is always right. That being said, Arko is great.

I've never been one to chase the "hot" artisan soaps. I've seen far too many angry posts about how so-and-so never makes large enough batches of their limited edition goose-fat-base croap in the collector's titanium bowl, so they got shut out of the drop and are going to do themselves in.

I also can't afford those soaps, so I gravitate toward the tried-and-true classics that do not require a loan to purchase. I'd read here about ARKO for years before I picked one up at Pasteur's. It quickly became a favorite. I like soap sticks anyway; Palmolive and La Toja are great too. ARKO is not in any way offensive in its, uh, aroma. It just smells clean to me. It lathers like a champ. It's one of the cheapest soaps out there. What's not to like?

Depends on whom you ask...I’ve heard Arko smells identical to a urinal cake.

That is so YESTERDAY man!

Today it's industrial car wash scent!

That’s because I’m still livin’ in my “glory days.” I haven’t let them pass me by....

It’s a basic soap. And it smells like it. But it works great. Someone dislikes it, they don’t have to use it. That simple. Have a great weekend gents!

You can say that again!

Give me a break! I didn’t know the car wash used urinal cake there too. Did they change the name of the the Arko scent because of the bad press?
