Arko's got some great performance but Palmolive is where it's at for me. The scent is very refreshing and it's performance is top notch for a shave stick.
 
Palmolive many times over the Arko, it works well but I think the Palmolive gives a better lather and scent as well.

I agree i love my Palmolive but to be honest i never tried the Arko :eek:/ This is why a called this poll.
 
Haven't had the chance to try Palmolive. Super easy to get in Europe, have to order online from somewhere here in the US. But I do know that Arko lathers if you look in it's general direction and I like the scent.
 
Both are good. I used Palmolive exclusively for a long time.
I like the scent and skin feel of Palmolive more than Arko.
 
As I mentioned in the Cult of Palmolive I get a better glide with Palmolive. Perhaps given the same 20 seconds you get more soap build up with Palmolive leading to a better shave. I've seen clumps of it stuck in my beard before.

Up Palmolive!
 
I voted both since both soaps are simply good. I prefer the scent of Arko over Palmolive; if Palmolive just had a better scent...

On hot days Arko is my #1 soap and on colder days I might prefer Palmolive but you really have to try both!

Arko is a solid performer for the price, But Euro Palmolive is better. No question.

It is the only soap I use right now, and I have a bunch in boxes.

Very similar performance from both with the edge going to Palmolive. Also can't go wrong with the nice clean, green scent of the Palmolive either. I happen to be fine with the scent of Arko, but you wont find any threads on Herr talking poorly about the scent of Palmolive.

Of course you could always take a small step up and get yourself a stick of one of, if not THE finest shave soap currently in production and grab a stick of La Toja.

I prefer Palmolive scent over Arko. They are both in the same league. If you have a choice, try both.
 
I had to vote for Palmolive. I've only used Arko once, but the scent got it banished to the laundry room for some airing out. Arko's lather seemed fine, but I really love Palmolive's scent. We'll see how Arko does after its probation.
 
The only area that I thought Palmolive was slightly better was the scent, which reminds me of Irish Spring bar soap. Otherwise, I prefer Arko.
