I really like the smell but it's just too drying for me to use.
Its certainly not as bad as people make out imo.
it’s performance equals or beats nearly every other artisan or traditional shave soap I’ve ever used.

Believe it or not, but Arko is the only shaving soap that i've ever used and I like it...
Absolutely! The hate for the smell of Arko is genuinely baffling as far as I am concerned. Even if you dislike the scent it is not very strong. I just find it a little drying - that is my only criticism.
Yeah, I put a stick in a plastic tube, making sure to leave the top off so that it could "air out". It must be close to two years since I unwrapped that stick, but that synthetic smell is still way too strong for me. I used Arko a few times a long time ago. Good soap. I just wish that it was unscented.I find the exact opposite. The smell is basically like Ivory soap, but it is so strong it makes me nauseated. It's the strength of the scent to me.
Are you claiming Arko's performance is equal to or superior to soaps like Grooming Department, Tallow & Steel and Tabac?There is no better quality-price ratio in shaving than Arko. But putting price aside, it’s performance equals or beats nearly every other artisan or traditional shave soap I’ve ever used. And I tried lots...
