Well I will say that I am now a believer in the face lathering method... I ordered a stick of the Arko with my latest blade order and it is the first lather I have really gotten to work well... Omega cream was meh, it worked but nothing special; some pink block I got (think it was Van der Hagen..) was utterly crap and required me to add a little can-o-crap to get a decent base... a chemistry experiment in every shave... ; this stuff just smear it on and add water.... instant foam... And not to mention it smells damn good! That other stuff either smelt like crap or in the case of the Van der stuff, day old 110* weather crap... I didn't get that really potent lemon smell that everyone complains about, but rather something along the lines of Irish Spring soap. A lovely smell. Not to mention I was able to get the closest shave to date; I was used to getting a crappy shave, but with proper lubrication (...lets see how many sexual innuendos inadvertently come up... up to 2 already 
) my face actually kinda felt like that first shave as a kid where your face kinda feels naked, sensitive even.
Just figured I'd share my impressedness of such a cheap but very effective soap. +Cheap, +Smooth, + Scent; -Only place to get it is Amazon (atleast around here), and its an add-on item unless you want to buy it 12 at a time.
