And I really like this soap. I had a great shave even with a less than ideal face lather technique which I will need to work on.
I picked up a couple sticks as part of a larger order. Have to say I was excited to test all of the hype. A freshly opened and sniffed Arko bar does indeed smell like the fake fresh smell that comes from a urinal cake. I laughed out loud when I took a sniff. But I noticed that that smell changed into a fresh smelling Ivory-like soap smell in lather and this morning on the stick itself.
It's definitely in the rotation now. It's a great slick shave, one where you're feeling your face hours later. Would rate soap wise just below Razorock and Tabac but in the herd of a nice slick shaves and this standing could improve as I better my technique.
