The Arko Challenge

Day 48

 

I don't know of too many artisan soaps that work as well as Arko.

 

Day 49

 

Looks like you're going to hit at least the three month mark with that soap.

 

That brush looks almost as good as mine you know.

 

Try 5-7.

 

Gogo gadget Arko...

 

Is the synthetic brush that much more thrifty with soap than either a boar or badger?

I've used plenty of Arko over the years and not gotten this longevity out of a stick.

 

Yes, or at least it seems so. Synthetic is very efficient.

 

Day 50

 

So, in other words, those people with 80+ soaps shouldn't use a synthetic, unless they're under 12 years of age?

 

Or stop buying soap. Yesterday.

 

I think I'll stick to the boar for a while longer. I have 8 sticks of Arko left unopened, and if I was as parsimonious as you're managing to be, with the rate I've been shaving, that would be.... a decade's worth of shaving. I'd never get to use the Palmolive!

 

That is why I do 4 passes and use a big badger.... since I'm a couple years older than 12.

 

An Omega 48 was my daily forever. Then I tried Plisson. Ive passed on $$$ brushes. Even PIF of fine badger, because it wouldn't lather as easily a the Plisson.

 

...don't ever change.

 

Day 51

 

Arko is a lather machine and i dont hate the scent. I just dont reach for it often.

But if someone is on a budget i would highly recommend it.

 

Blah!!
