Review (5/5): This product is MUCH better than its price point might indicate
This product is MUCH better than its price point might indicate. It lathers easily and provides a slick cushion. I think the only thing anyone would really have a problem with is the smell. It smells like funky lemon--I don't know how else to describe it; like lemon scented bathroom cleaner. But if you let it air dry outside of the package for a while the smell dissipates. Since I don't really care for peeling off the wrapping and using it as a stick, I chop it up and press it down into my shaving mug.
UPDATE 2/3/15:
I have been using this and Tabac extensively to compare side by side. Tabac's lather has an amazing consistency but Arko provides better glide and comfort... Pretty ironic considering it costs many times less.
