Just received my arko and tried it for the first time today. Well I'd like to say it lathered well and made for a good 2 passes just how I like. Now on to smell , being that I've worked in a hospital for the last 16 years it seems to me that a urinal cake and ivory soap had a baby and that's how arko came to be...lol..as we all know its dirt cheap but that did not affect performane as far as I'm concerned. ..buy and use with confidence gents....cheers
