Arko Shaving Soap in Bowl, Red, 90 gram

One of the best shaving soaps I have used, and the price makes it unbeaten. Thick lather that lasts and has unfailingly given me a comfortable shave. I can compare it directly to Cella shaving soap, which is excellent, but I think is just beaten by Arko. Many complain about the fragrance, but I don’t find it that bad. It smells just like the cheap bar soap in my old primary school toilets. The fragrance doesn’t last in my experience, but yours may differ.

Beautiful Shaving Soap. Great lather and smell. Definitely worth the money, and totally recommend. Also a shout out to La Barbiera who have delivered once again. 100% all-round.

For the price it's pretty good. Having it in its own little bowl is convenient. It doesn't lather up as much as some of th expensive soaps I've had in the past, but then again it's nowhere near the same price so there's no comparison in terms of value - this wins hands down. There's no strong fragrance and it looks to me like it will last a pretty long time. I shave every day and it's barely gone down since I bought it. Arko do a range of soap types so if this plain one isn't to your liking you could try one of the others. But for the average wet shaver I think this represents good value for money at a reasonable quality. Not the best I've ever used, but more than good enough for a decent shave and at a very affordable price.

I bought this for it's size, compatible with what is allowed on airline travel. It comes in a sealable tub, so doesn't make a mess. Produces a good lather with a decent shaving brush and gives a nice smooth shave. Curious scent, not unpleasant, maybe think old fashioned barber shop. Its so inexpensive that you could bin it after use and it would still be good value.

Great product. Really gives that feeling of being at the barbers. Nice sent and big quantity.

Lathers well ,smells good to

Lathers up really well, with a soft pleasing foam, fresh smell and moisturising effect. Blades glide easily, this soap provides adequate lubrication to allow a smooth close shaving result. Its been around for years, so that has to be testament to the quality and popularity.

A while back I got fed up with razor burn and ingrown hairs so I decide to ditch the gimmicky Gillette razors and geld and go old school with a well made safety razor and soap and a brush. Best decision I ever made. Not only do a save a fortune on crappy disposables, but I get the best shave and no dreaded rash. This soap is key to my shave routine. Creates a good smooth bubble lather (with a brush) and doesn't dry my face out. It also lasts ages.

Arko tıraş sabunu dünyada kabul gören Türk ürünlerinden biri zaten. Kokusu, kıvamı, sert şehir suyuyla bile verimli kullanılabilmesi ve çok uzun süre dayanması benzerleri arasında sivrilmesini sağlıyor. Plastik kutudaki yassı sabunun folyodaki çubuk sabundan biraz daha maliyetli olduğunu hatırlatayım. Gramajı biraz daha fazla ama fiyat farkının çoğu kutuya veriliyor. Evde kullanacaksanız çubuk sabun alınıp kaseye basılabilir. Bu kutu da seyahat için, veya başka kase kullanılmayacaksa daha uygun diye düşünüyorum. Keyifli tıraşlar, sağlıklı günler dilerim.

I purchased this again not because I needed more but because of the tremendous price at the time. This soap is never out of my rotation, it is an absolute pleasure to use. One of its best features is it is tallow based, which makes it super slick and cushioning. The scent however seems to polarise people. Various descriptions like "Industrialised lemon" and others that are unflattering to say the least, are bandied around and so probably stop some from purchasing. My advice is to wait for a low price and give it a whirl and see. The shaving stick is 75g and the puck is 90g in a rather nifty red bowl. The bowl fits within the palm of the hand. This soap is easy to lather either on the face or in a bowl, the soapy-lemony scent isn't long lasting and doesn't interfere with my colognes etc. It's an all round budget beating marvel, who's performance you can rely on.

Ik kocht deze omdat het een naam had op de scheerfora als goed en goedkoop. Vooral de staafjes zijn voor een lage prijs te verkrijgen dus als hij goed en fijn is voor je zou je voordelig klaar zijn voor wat betreft je scheerzeep. Ik koos eerst voor deze variant in doosje vanwege het gebruiksgemak (opbergen, vervoer, geur afsluiten). Voor mij bleek het niet echt super te zijn. Het scheren gaat opzich wel redelijk maar nadien blijft je huid droog achter. De geur is niet zo lekker, misschien went het of vervaagt het, maar zo vaak heb ik het niet meer gebruikt. Had ook het idee dat mijn huid met irritaties kampte nadien die ik bij andere zepen niet ervaar. Al met al niet verfijnd. Mitchell's Woolfat is een stuk duurder maar voor mij het fijnst. Speick is ook ok. Dan betaal ik toch liever meer voor een betere ervaring.

It's got a great logo, first of all. Let's not gloss over THAT. That foamed-up dude is a joy! The price is good, the lathering is excellent. I would love to see the pucks in a paper box instead of the plastic, since I already have a shaving cup. That's the only minor "complaint" I have. I am definitely going to try the sticks. The reason I wanted to try just the one puck first was all this talk about the "pee puck" smell. I have to say that it smells like plain Ivory type soap to me, if anything. The scent is mild and it just smells like soap. Are the sticks different? Maybe but I suspect this is just a matter of some people smelling it one way and others smelling it differently. I don't mean using their noses differently just that some notice some aromas more than others. OK I guess what I am REALLY saying is that I have found a new quality brand of normal shaving soap and I admit that I am a bit disappointed that it DOESN'T smell like a pee puck. At least a bit. That is all. I hope your day is as happy as the Arko Dude!

First about the scent, that’s up to each to decide. Personally, I neither love nor hate it. It’s okay. Some have mentioned it as Ivory soap, soap flakes from the day or household cleaners. It seems to be a bit of all that to me but it’s okay. You rinse with hot then cold water when finished correct? It goes away. No for the shave part of the review. My go to soaps are Mitchell’s Wool Fat and Tabac. Peroso and Cella get turns now and again. This soap is as good as any of them. The little container would fit nicely in most travel kits too. I’ve shave 2X with it now. Fist was using a 1956 Gillette Super Speed (red tip) and a Derby Premier blade. The results were out standing. 2nd shave, I used a Dovo Bismarck straight razor and the results were even better. I use primarily bore brushes (just like them better than badger or synthetic but will try at some point with both). After loading the brush I worked up the lather on my face. It was slick enough and wet enough for 2 perfect 3 pass shaves and clean up for some problem spots. It’s easy to lather. The lather hold up nicely and it just the right wet/slippery combination. Top it off with the after shave of choice and Bob’s your uncle. I will use this from time to time and when it’s gone but more. Frankly if your just thinking of starting wet shaving. This is a perfect starter soap. It does it’s job and it won’t set you back a lot of cash. One last thing about the odor, your not going to walk around smelling like Pledge all day so get over it. This stuff produces a damn fine shave which is the whole point.
