Review: Excellent quality and value - 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.
Review: Beautiful Shaving Soap - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's pretty good
*by A***N on 14 February 2025*

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.
