If you can actually use a full stick of Arko without interruption, I applaud you. I will even make a shave bowl for you to commemorate the event. Just don’t put Arko in it…
Sure, Charlie. I just assumed you wouldn't consider it a detriment to stick to the same soap for 2-3 months and wouldn't need the motivation. Your history of hoarding Tabac comes to mind...
Back to our regularly scheduled broadcast... Package came today Game on. Rules of engagement: Surface area MUST be increased! For the records, I started with 74g I tared out this bowl into which I am going to press this soap. Soap is grated. Pressed into the bowl. I lost 1g in the process. The Shave Day one The players will remain the same until the Arko is gone. Exception will be razor blades. I am new to the Cobra and I might experiment with some different blades. The Jerry Juice is being 3017'd as well. The brush, known fondly by @clint64 as "The Soap Destroyer", is the Simpson CH2 Synthetic. Once I got over the visceral, olfactory images of toilets, back in the 60's, I loaded the brush: After the first pass Nice lather. I might just enjoy this challenge...
Did you just load the Arko is a ‘commode inspired’ receptacle? I yearn for this type of low hanging fruit, Mon ami. PS- good job allowing the Arko to air out by grating and un-lidding…
Fastest way to kill a soap is to use as stick With no control, ends up to over than 2 grams per day @Primotenore Maybe You're enjoying this too much ...
Meanwhile in Italy ... https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/sos-november-2022.66866/page-19#post-2058351 As projected, this setup is almost perfect to me
Maybe I am, Pierpaolo, but believe me, when the soap has as much surface area as my Arko now has, I can use MORE than 2g/day...maybe 4g!!!
should i up the ante.2 sticks and a puck..?.that could take forever.. notice how i leave the lid off.to let it breathe..
I admire your dedication. I am still working through my final puck of Institut Karite. After that I will probably spend about 8 months with a puck of MWF. I think everyone should use a soap from start to finish at least once. Seeing how long a soap would last really helped me break my impulse soap purchases. It also got me to the point of if a soap isn't good enough to use daily, I didn't bother with it any more.
Friday, November 18 Arko~~Simpson~~Cobra~~Sailor Jerry Day 2 3017 Challenge. Cobra will strike when you least expect it. Today's shave was much better, although I still got some weepers in very strange places.
