 Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of review video and I'll be opening the ARCO shaving soap bowl which I have it right here. If this is your first time or if you visit thank you for your support on this channel. I'm always trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more review videos there will be links in the description box below. So the ARCO shaving soap bowl caught my attention due to its high ratings and I wanted to give it a try. So the first thing about the shaving soap bowl is that it has a very attractive designing because of the red color it you know catches your eyes and then the other factor is that this is a very inexpensive shaving soap bowl. I purchased it with my own money and the cost is below $5 so it's not expensive at all. So I'm going to open this up and show you here and then we'll shave with this and see whether this is good or bad. So the bowl looks like this and this is very small and this brand actually is made in Turkey and on the back of the bowl there are different languages and it doesn't exactly say where the specific product is made of but the brand ARCO is from Turkey so I'm assuming that you know this is made of Turkey or could be made in anywhere. So once you open the bowl the one thing is that it has a tushed close and you know open so you can just close the bowl all the way and this is totally closed not unlike the Wilkinson Sword shaving soap bowl which doesn't really close. This one closes and then once you open it up then the soap looks like this so here and you can see that there is a like you know face here. The one thing I noticed about the smell of the soap let me just smell here again. So if you are in one of those countries like India, Egypt, Bangladesh or you know many other countries like that then they have a cloth washing soap and it kind of smells like that. It's not that I don't like the smell I like the smell but you know this is kind of like you know very classic barbershop smell but it has a hint of washing a cloth washing soap smell if you like you know happen to be in one of those countries and you know try some of the soaps to wash clothes then the smell is very similar but you know I like that smell so we're going to start shaving with this and then I'll give you my opinion. Hello everyone I'm going to try the ARCO shaving soap bowl which I have it right here so I'll just open it up and it looks this way so I'll just leave it here and today I'm using the Omega S brush and this is a synthetic fiber S brush so I'm just going to you know soak it up a little bit or make this wet a little bit and I'll just throw the excess water and here we have the soap bowl so I'll just you know put the brush and try to leather it up okay so I'll just leave it here and add slightly water and I'll just try to you know leather up on my face and see how it goes if there's a towel here okay I'll just leather up a little bit more so at this point the leather looks okay it's a bit thick so I'll just leave it here so the soap seems to be okay you know it has that classic barber smell but as I mentioned before that you know you can this smells kind of like you know it's kind of a smells like a cloth washing soap if you buy from one of the countries like you know Egypt India or Philippines so it has kind of similar smell but you know it's not that I don't like the smell I like that smell but somehow you know it's matching with the smell which I experienced in those countries from the cloth washing soap and the foam is just fine you know it has thick leather foam and it seems to be you know holding up and it has as you can see that you know it's very thick leather and you can like take less water or more water based on what type of leather you want but based on the price and everything I'm happy with the product and this is only around five dollars Canadian so very inexpensive product and I like the experience of it and I like the smell too although it smells like clothes washing soap but you know I like the smell so overall I'm happy with the product and I cannot complain about anything due to the cost and the nice you know bowl and the bowl closes all the way which I showed you before so it's not like Wilkinson which doesn't close so this one actually is closing you know all the way that's the review of the Argo actually sorry Arco shaving soap bowl thank you for watching this video there'll be more videos coming so I'll see you shortly
