The Arko Challenge

Day 7, 6 April

 

I heard most of the Gods use citrus musk as their middle of the week aftershave.....just a rumor.

 

@ShaverX

You might get a kick out of this one.

 

Veg and Citrus Musk are far and far away my fave Pinaud. I like Clubman, but it's third. AV, Generic Kroger AV, Barbus (Hungarian AV), Osage Rub, FW and a little Skin Bracer also see joint time with Arko and Barbasol. I am truly a drug store AS junkie.

 

I once had someone tell me I always smelled like the drug store aftershave isle.......I thanked them.

 

They have good taste too, apparently.

The classics are classics for a reason.

My guess on this stick....

Closed to new entries, good luck to all who ventured a guess!

 

Day 9, 8 April

 

Don't know how I missed this one. This is fun!
SINCE this is Closed to all new entries, good luck to all who ventured a guess!

I actually got an ARKO stick about 5 years ago when I joined this cool forum. Have yet to use it up...
I am currently away from the homestead so I don't have access, but I need to get that bad boy out and join in the fun.
I am regularly using my Parker SR1. Just not with the ARKO STICK. Makes me sad... kinda.

One thing... I DO NOT have the VEG! I may have to rectify that soon.

Bama, you would definitely like this:

PanChango
Good luck with your Parker. I think they are an excellent shave tool.

 

Thanks for your soap suggestion! I love lavender.

Have you not yet tried Lilac Vegetal?

 

Note that there is a hand lotion of the same sent (Vanilla Lavender). I use it as a post shave balm. Very nice. I used it this morning.

I have not tried Lilac Vegetal. I love Clubman Pinaud, VIBR, Citrus Musk & Lime Sec.
I have tried Vanilla, Special Reserve & Musk and find those scents OK, but uninspiring.
Just have not been tempted by Lilac Vegetal.

But based on the enthusiasm expressed here, I will have to remedy that sometime in the near future.

Day 11, 10 April

 

Rolling rolling rolling keep the shaves a rolling...rolling rolling rolling. Arkooooooooooo.

 

You are not loading enough. Maybe you need a bigger brush? More passes?

 

Not loading enough? After pass two I hired a DJ and threw a foam party, South Beach style. Tomorrow, after pass two, I plan on degreasing the engine block on my Ford.
