Arko Normal Review Discussion Thread

[HlSheppard]

Justso,

Are you referring to the cream or the soap? This is the thread for the cream, but is seems like you're speaking about the latter... (?)

 

[Justso]

I'm so sorry, I didn't see the "Cream" forum. Gosh I feel like an idiot now.

 

[HlSheppard]

No worries - I just thought that might be the case. Cripes you think that makes you an idiot; follow ME around for a day!!

I agree that Salters and the 3 T's are more luxurious than Arko, however, they do not give a better shave. I can get a closer shave without irritation with Arko. So, if I want a luxurious shave, I go with the more expensive creams. Today I wanted a close shave, so I went with the "garbage"

I've used the "sensitive" Arko. Nothing spectacular. I don't remember the scent, which means at least I didn't find it repulsive. But it's nothing spectacular, and for the price I paid for it I will stick with the Florena at the local drug store if I want a low price high quality cream.

I was the recipient of one of our member's generosity a short while back (Thanks again, Bob O !) and included with the EdT and cream samples was a tube of Arko Normal. I find the scent to be very similar to that of European Palmolive, which is a nice soapy clean scent.

Performance wise, it's good, but not great. I will happily use it up, but I don't think I will venture to try the other scents. A while back, I took a tube of trash can destined Derby Menthol and Derby Lavendar off of Kyle's hands and I actually prefer the Derby to the Arko, but again can't see myself buying more when I run out.
