It's funny as I have all these traditional soaps and creams from the English companies but Arko is right there with them in performance and fragrance IMO. But you gotta have some variety, right?It's great stuff!

I'm probably a bit older than many here and grew up with Barbasol and Williams. I thought neither were very good then and imagine it's even worse now. Didn't Williams change their formula as well? I've got a puck from a few years ago and didn't think it was as good as the old stuff (which, as I said, wasn't very good then either).In light of the whole "Williams Mug Soap is no more" saga, I just ordered another dozen sticks of Arko. WMS and Arko are my 2 main soaps, just because they're wonderful soaps and were super cheap. I didn't stock up on the WMS, but I will with the Arko.
ARCO is a brand owned by BP these days, but was originally a corporate name/branding for Atlantic Richfield Company, a petroleum products company.What’s Arco? Does it work and smell like Arko?
I used to go to Arco Arena with my father to watch the Sacramento Kings play.ARCO is a brand owned by BP these days, but was originally a corporate name/branding for Atlantic Richfield Company, a petroleum products company.
Some equate Arko to an industrial product so I guess Arco should have made Arko.
Childhood vacations were often spent at grandma's place in the piney woods of Lufkin, Texas. Driving into town, we would pass a paper mill that smelled of rotten eggs. Uncle Hubert worked at the mill, and swore the scent was lovely.
I actually love the taste of durian. I have a poor sense of smell.... durian doesn't bother me. But I admit, I've never had durian while enjoying an adult beverage.Ah, the background Texas scent of hydrogen sulphide….mmmm. Or is that just a Midland/Odessa thang?
Got back from the oil rig after a month with a tube of proraso and a stick of Cella/MWF… cracked open a twist up stick of Arko/Mwf to enjoy the Proustian rush of the power and glory that is Arko!
I’ll just declare I don’t mind the stench of Durian - don’t bother eating it much due to it not mixing at all well with alcohol… but on the other hand I detest stinky blue cheese.
Don't ask me how I know this, but you can skip a shower for MONTHS if you use Arko as a shower soap!I'll just use it to shower with and skip deodorant.
What are you doing to the war department?Don't ask me how I know this, but you can skip a shower for MONTHS if you use Arko as a shower soap!
Lol, I wonder if that's why I have been sleeping on the couch so much?What are you doing to the war department?
Totally just did this. I smell amazing!Don't ask me how I know this, but you can skip a shower for MONTHS if you use Arko as a shower soap!
Yeah the smell even repels dirtDon't ask me how I know this, but you can skip a shower for MONTHS if you use Arko as a shower soap!
Hi CCS, Williams (final formula) does require a different approach for generation of good lather. While most of my soaps work well with a synthetic brush for Williams (and Mitchell's Wool Fat) I've found the key is to use a stiffer boar brush and build much of the lather directly on the puck. I typically build on the puck of these soaps for about one minute and then complete the process via face lathering. Soak the boar in warm water for a couple minutes before use and shake out excess water. Add small amounts of water as you go to dial into the consistency that is optimal.I'm probably a bit older than many here and grew up with Barbasol and Williams.

Yes, @Mike M , every person in Michigan is a genius!There’s something wrong with someone who doesn’t appreciate the greatness that is Arko.
No, you probably don't need therapy. A decongestant maybe....Yeah, I know, smells like a urinal puck, ect. I do not get that at all. I smell it, and it smells pleasant to me.
Perfection my friend!No, you probably don't need therapy. A decongestant maybe....
