Probably the best lathering soap on the market even compared to the expensive brands. The only complaint people have about the soap is the fact it's non scented if that's a complaint at all. Incredible deal for a great shaving soap.

Don’t know if I’d call it the best lathering soap but it is pretty darn good. For the price it’s a hell of a deal. If you haven’t used a stick before though, it helps to learn first. It’s in my rotation of shave soaps.

I cut it up and mash it in a wooden shave bowl and use my brush.
Excellent soap! I believe it's tallow based. |

I love it.
I recently started on a cake of Stirling wool tallow soap, on the advice of a friend. I think I'm going back to Arko |

I started using it a few months ago and its a great soap for the price. It lathers up really nice, smells good, and it's super cheap.

One stick will last you a very long time. Not knowing that I bought a 12 pack a few years ago.
Glad I like it! Mine is scented and I like the smell also. Doesn't lather very well if you have hard water. We just put a softener in so I'm seeing a huge difference. |

I tend to use Arko the most. I just read the paper off the top of the stick and run it on my way face. Then take a wet hand and lather it all up and shave it off. Cheap, easy, and smells good.

Incredible deal for a great shaving soap. But at its price point? Yeah it’s awesome, I bought the 12 pack box of sticks and 3 of those bowls they did for a long time. My wife uses it to shave her legs. Love that scent too, similar to citronella reminds me of summer and camping. |

That's my most used soap, bought a big box off of Amazon years ago. I still have a lot left. It leathers really well.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well to be fair I like Arko a lot but it’s got a detergent agent in it, which is the ghetto ass way to make your soap lather well. it’s pretty dang rough on your face compared to a true premium soap like Mitchell’s Woolfat for example & it’s significantly harder to do it the right way with animal fats and oils. Significantly harder than that to do it vegan. So it’s not a fair comparison at all. But at its price point? Yeah it’s awesome, I bought the 12 pack box of sticks and 3 of those bowls they did for a long time. My wife uses it to shave her legs.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have heard the scent likened to a urinal cake. I have never used Arko so I can't say if I agree with that or not but do have to say that some peoples opinions of D R Harris Marlborough smelling like an ashtray are wrong but I would agree that Tabac smells like an old lady's purse (sort of like cheap scented talcum powder).

I forced myself to use it once, the lather did live up to the hype, before selling it at a discount. Awful stuff. |
