Review (5/5): Great Shave Soap - You Will Not Find a Better Deal!
Soap Performance - This gives a ton of lather, and feels luxurious, thanks to the tallow and glycerin. A little goes a long way.
Soap Scent - It has a strong lemon-like smell when you first open the stick, and I can understand why this can be off-putting. But I found this scent to completely go away after the stick had been open for a couple of days. Now it smells simply clean and old fashioned. Like Ivory but better. (I have high-end taste when it comes to my scents and perfumes, and this clean soapy smell is nostalgic and pleasant - and unisex!)
Economical - This soap should cost you less than a penny a day to use. The quality, performance and price simply cannot be beat.
How I Use - I wet my skin and also the stick. I rub the stick across my legs a few times (I'm not a guy!), then use my brush to lather it on my legs. Easy peasy!
If you are new to DE shaving, you can't go wrong with Arko. Fail-proof, good quality, great on skin.
