Arko shaving soap , the eternal debate...

Tell that to a bunch of drunken teens

You're probably right. It's been so long that I've forgotten how busy that night was. You had a lot of ground to cover before the prom ended and couldn't afford to be away from your date very long. That time, well spent, would determine how the rest of the night would go!

It smelled awful to me and dried my skin out pretty bad. I gave mine away.

It's in my travel bag with other lower budget things that I won't cry about if I lose them. The performance is great, but as others have mentioned it is a little drying and lacking in the post shave department.

I actually like the scent of Arko. Performance is good, price point is insanely good. I like subtle citrus scents as well. It's a solid first soap, but can see that the citronella scent they use can be offputting to some.
