It’s awesome. It’s one of the slickest soaps I’ve tried. It lathers like crazy! I have no problem getting a baby bottom smooth shave with this soap and it leaves my face soft and moisturized. It has a nice clean scent to it, it has a spiced smell to it that is very clean and fresh. The smell isn’t overly strong and doesn’t irritate the skin or the nose. In my experience a badger brush works the best when applying to the face as well as building the lather in a bowl or mug. Letting the soap bloom in the dish for 3-5 mins in hot water works the best for a rich and dense lather. I load my brush with it and then lather in a bowl. You get more than enough for a three pass shave. It very slick and the lather lasts for the whole shave and it doesn’t lose any slickness or hydration. For the best result throughly hydrate your face with hot water and let drip. Then take the bloom water and massage into the beard. The bloom water acts as a pre shave. The shave with this stuff is great! For the price you can’t beat it. It’s inexpensive and been in use since the 50s, what’s not to love?. Review: A Working Man's Soap - I purchased this shave soap for my boyfriend and after we had the double disaster of his shave cup breaking with the last of his shave soap in it. When we got the soap I initially had low hopes, as the packaging is very old fashioned and quite cheap, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the product. Here is what he has to says about it: "Arko is a no-frills soap for someone with a tough beard and not a lot of time. The soap is incredibly quick to lather to whatever consistency you prefer and has a masculine scent that I can best describe as lemony sawdust - I find it very pleasant, though some may find it a bit challenging. As someone with very difficult facial hair I have found that Arko works better than any other soap I have tried at preventing razor burn and promoting a close shave. Ten minutes from start to finish even after a few days without shaving, and I smell nice to boot." As I noted before, the packaging of the product leaves something desired and while the shaving soap does come in a bowl, the soap puck is also the size and height of that bowl so if you plan to use the bowl it comes in to lather the soap be prepared for it to make a bit of a mess. If you're okay with that, the bowl is quite adequate and served our purposes well. If you plan to transfer the soap to a cup, just be aware that the puck is about six inches across so it may not fit all cups. I've used it a few times on my legs an underarms and find it also gives a nice close shave that I really can't complain about, though it certainly isn't marketed to me, it gets the job done. Overall, Arko Shaving Soap is a great product at a very fair price. Don't judge a book by it's cover! ## Features - This soap lathers easily and quickly; It builds a very thick and lubricating lather - Fantastic, potent and longer lasting scent - Just for men who loves traditional shaving - Gives a close and smooth shave - Leaves the skin very smooth and supple ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00C8A2NHS | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #433,733 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #220 in Men's Shaving Soaps | | Brand | the shave factory | | Brand Name | the shave factory | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,152 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735035935743, 08690506462642 | | Item Form | Soap Puck | | Item Weight | 90 Grams | | Manufacturer | Derby International LLC, dba KANAR | | Manufacturer Part Number | ARKOBWL | | Model Number | AK90 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 735035935743 794168061590 | | Unit Count | 3.15 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** the shave factory - **Item Form:** Soap Puck - **Item Weight:** 90 Grams - **Skin Type:** All ## Images ![Arko Shaving Soap In Bowl, 90 Gram - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PiaC1XSNL.jpg) ![Arko Shaving Soap In Bowl, 90 Gram - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XOMQXW4vL.jpg) ![Arko Shaving Soap In Bowl, 90 Gram - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bmhzfa4pL.jpg) ![Arko Shaving Soap In Bowl, 90 Gram - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+xhxyT75L.jpg) ![Arko Shaving Soap In Bowl, 90 Gram - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31ZrLuwyqJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the tub Arko the same as the stick Arko?** A: The ingredients for the tub is: Potassium Tallowate, Potassium Stearate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Aqua, Glycerin, Potassium Cocoate Parfum, Parraffinum Liquidum, Tetrasodium EDTA, CL77891, Etidronic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Disodium Distyrylbiphenyl Disulfonate, Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol. The ingredients on the Arko tub is similar but are listed in a different order, the stick seems to have more Potassium Cocoate which may be why the tub has a harder puck in comparison to the slightly softer Arko stick. **Q: What are the ingredients?** A: Ingredients: Potassium Tallowate, Stearic Acid, Potassium Cocoate, Aqua, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Glycerin, Parfum, Parafinium, Liquidum, Tetrasodium EDTA, Etidronic Acid, Disodium Distrylbiphenly, Disuffonate Amyl Cinnamel, Citronellol, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool **Q: Is this better than Williams? Much, a little, or about the same?** A: I have used both and Arko is BY FAR the better quality shaving soap and definitely worth the difference in price. For the very budget conscious Williams is still a good shaving soap. But if you can easily afford it, Arko is the better deal and lasts a long, long time. **Q: What can be used as refills?** A: You can buy the sticks, unwrap them and heat (not too much!) in the microwave. You can then mash them into the bowl if you like. I prefer using them like a big crayon, however, and whipping up the lather on my face. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean and comfortable shave every time! *by B***. on September 19, 2020* I wanted to try Arco for a while but never got around to it.

Some people really love it, others really hate it. Doesn't seem to be any real middle ground. But for $5, I didn't mind the investment to find out for myself. That said, this is the best wet shave you're gonna get...for 5 bucks. It's all business, gets the job done really well. Lathers very rapidly, and the lather itself is full bodied and provides fantastic protection. And it's gentle enough on sensitive skin like mine that doing multiple passes with the blade won't result in redness or irritation, at least not in my experience. The scent is...ok. Like others have said, it is lemony and somewhat disinfectant smelling. But not overwhelming so to the point where it's off-putting. Doesn't smell any worse than any of the drug store junk we all learned with when we were 13. It's not terrible, but it's nothing to write home about. And it doesn't linger after the shave for too long, so if you shave in the morning before work the scent will probably have faded by the time you get there. Or at least by lunch. And for a tallow-based shave soap, it doesn't have quite the same moisturizing properties I would normally expect. So while post-shave moisturizing balms/creams are normally optional, I'd say it's more mandatory for Arko. Lastly, it's great for travel. It's smaller than most other containers like you get from Barrister and Mann or Taylor Old Bond, so it won't take up too much space in your dopp kit. And if you accidentally leave it at the hotel or something, you won't be crying about the $5 needed to replace it. All in all, this stuff is pretty good. But for the price point, it's amazing. There are certainly better performing and more pleasant smelling shave soaps out there, many of them. But not for five bucks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arko Shaving Soap in Bowl, Red, 90 gram - Redwestmelon Shaving Brush -Shaving Brushe with Elegant Wooden Handle Hair Shaving Brush Mens Shaving Brush for Hair Salon Tool Wet Shaving Brushes for Men - King C.
