Hot take:I think Arko isn't as good a soap as people say it is.
I first started wet shaving with Arko and tried a few different soap and cream brands.I know, I know, many people say "yeah, it's a very cheap and very high-quality soap," but I still think Arko is bad among cheap soaps.Their rival soap, Derby, offers better lathering, easier lathering, and more foam.On the other hand, making lather with Arko soap takes It a long time and doesn't produce very good lather. And that's not even mentioning the drying effect it has on the face.Is Arko a terrible soap? I don't think so; it's still okay and quite good for beginners, but I don't think it deserves the praise it receives. Its only good point is its scent, compared to its competitors among cheap soaps, and that's it.
