the shave factory Arko Shaving Soap in Bowl (90g)

Very impressed with this soap. I'm newly converted to DE shaving and using soap over canned foam. This is a great product and I find the lather very easy to create with my synthetic hair shaving brush. The smell is addictive and I sometimes find myself taking off the lid and just smelling the soap. Highly recommended, the price is reasonable when you consider this is probably going to last 4 or 5 cans of foam. It's also much less wasteful as you foam up what you need.

I am super sensitive to perfumes and creams. Everything irritates me. Arko does not! I like the smell even though it might not be for everyone and it creates a great lather. It is easy to create foam with it also. And the price is hard to beat! It became part of my morning routine.

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.

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.

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!
