    I would consider it a display of skill and dexterity if I can exceed the 158 =)

    Yeah, I ordered 3 cases of the Derby sticks (36 sticks) without ever having smelled them. So I guess I am as they say in poker "Pot-Committed" now. With 18 years worth of the stuff.

    I will probably allow myself to shave 2 days with fancy artisan soaps and the other 5 days with the Derby. It will probably have me appreciate the artisan soaps more :kngt:

    I already force myself to brush teeth with Pepsodent or Aim brand toothpaste that costs 75 cents per large tube so that will give you an idea what kind of guy I am.

    I hear same company that makes Arko just came out with a matching aftershave too:

    RyX DoH!

    Nothing wrong with a thrifty shave. Many profess to have started wet shaving with the idea of saving a few bucks. A few minimalists actually have avoided the multiple rabbit holes. I wish you good shaves, Sir!

    As often happens, products get reformulated over time. Usually for the worst. Owning cases of a product you like is sound Boy Scout philosophy.

    I know. Once I got to 99, @RyX had to teach me the rest of the numbers.

    If I bought a sick of Arko today and I lived to 120; they'd be able to bury it with me. At least it'd keep the worms and zombies away.

    Try rubbing the stick on your wet face and then face lather it and let us know your results. Because I think Derby and Arko work better as face lather soaps
