Palmolive Stick VS Arko Stick?

I've used both, Palmolive in Germany during a holidays and this set aside my Lea stick that I got use when travelling.
When I bought Arko it's scent remained me Tide or Persil, all washing machine powder soap. Also noticed is a soft soap, much more soap than any other stick. Once used to test and then toss it.
Now I use Tabac stick when in a trip, but because there's no Palmolive in Spain. Very good stick performer and very balanced ingredients if you make a comparison with what there is out there. Hope someday supermarkets bring the brand here.

It's gotta be Palmolive for mine.

It's just an incredible performer for its price. It's an incredible performer at 10x its price.

I find I have to be in a particular mood to use it due to its scent. I find the scent most relevant when I am thinking about loves lost, the inevitability of death, the inexplicability of life's purpose. In those moments, it's just perfect.

The scent...I love it. It is fresh and uncomplicated, and I don't really seek much more in a shave soap. But it's very evocative for me as well: it takes me back to the early 1960s when my Dad was still alive and had his Palmolive stick and Old Spice mug side by side in the bathroom. No matter how often I use it, I always get a momentary flashback when I smell it anew.
 
I like Arko, it's very reliable; however I find that post-shave to be a bit drying. I can certainly be happy with both but Palmolive probably beats Arko in that department. The scent is more agreeable too, which I think is a plus.
 
I bought Arko recently, one of those what else can I add to my basket thats cheap thoughts, like the scent and good for the money. Looks like I will have to try the Palmolive too by the replies here.
 
To me, that's an easy choice, given that Palmolive stick (and cream for that matter) performs sub standard.

Arko on the other hand performs incredible.

Palmolive stick for me. Never tried a non-EU stick though (I believe there is an Australian Palmolive stick too?). ARKO is decent enough, but Palmolive is better for me.

Both are inferior to the excellent Wilkinson Sword blue stick.
