    I love the price and quality of Arko Shave Sticks. At present I use a round "Brut" deodorant container as my holder. It works, but it's a tad to big.

    Do one of the more expensive sticks come with a container that could be used as my future Arko holder?

    You can buy a twist container for a couple of bucks. Yes to answer your question.

    The West Coast Shaving push-up is just a deodorant container sold in bulk, for folks that make home made soap & deodorant. My "Brut" beats them.

    Anyone know which brands of shave stick match Arko in container size?

    I'm not getting what you're looking for? I've used the containers from WCS for an Arko stick. I grated it and filled the tube with the Arko.

    I don't want to grat my Arko. I want to take it out of the wrapper and have a travel holder the same size. I've heard three or four of the more expensive sticks are the same size as Arko, and come with quality packaging.

    Erasmic shave stick comes with a plastic base that also fits Arko stick when the Erasmic is done.

    Large pill bottle at the druggist. I offered to pay, they gave it to me free. Poke holes in the lid.

    I have also used small (100?) vitamin bottles.

    RaZorBurn123; yes that looks like it. Tell me more.

    Richgem; yes, that is the info I need. Are their any other sticks that come with holders and match Arko, besides Erasmic.

    Thanks to all.

    I used an empty La Toja container once - Arko is too big to fit right out of the wrapper so I rolled it out on a table (like a rolling pin) it got thinner and longer and then fit.

    I keep mine in one of those I did not grate it, though. Arko is very soft. I just pushed it in on the stick in the middle with no problems. Cut the label to fit on the outside and taped it in place.

    I got that pic from eBay. Search shaving stick container. You'll find lots of different ones. Good luck!

    The Williams stick was a lot smaller than the Arko is now. The tins for the old Colgate or Palmolive sticks will work, though. Look for the handy grip ones.

    I agree. The old metal ones are so trashed. If that's what you want cool.

    That's basically what I did. Arko is very soft. It works for me.

    Mamabears for $1.99 each. I have used them for Arko sticks and they are a perfect fit.
