Congratulations to the start of your 3017 journey @jtspartan and @ischiapp Randy, @Frijolero I hope you come along. I am late to the party as my stick of Arko is just being shipped. Therefore, I will up my ante and not only 3017 the Arko, but will shave exclusively with my Cobra Classic. And... I will 3017 my bottle of Sailor Jerry's Spiced Aftershave. Booyakasha
Not sure when ... In this decade or the next. I just need a little room in my den. BUT I'm going to try this (in)famous Arko.
You've never tried it? An 'easy to whip up' tallow lather for sure. Unfortunately accompanied with a chemical/citrusy/medicinal scent that I (and one or two <thousand?> others) struggle to get past. A comparison to a Urinal Puck has been made by a fine Gentleman or two. It also lasts forever. BamaSamurai once got over 100 2 pass shaves on a stick as part of a challenge. Apparently Hyperbole is the 'literary device of the day' in Appalachia... I'm blushing...thanks for the shout out. Alas, the Short Comb came from Andrew in Colorado originally. Same Rockies, just further south. C'mon now...There is no empirical evidence that Arko will do that. I do have both Qualitative and Quantitative data that confirms that Pinaud Clubman is up to the task, however. ...and you still shaved! No doubt your face smelled better without Arko on it...this is low hanging fruit, my friend. 'Tis true. A quality lather. I do find it a little drying though, but I think I'm in the minority on this one.

148, and he quit before it did. https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/the-arko-challenge.55208/page-29#post-1380769
Thanks for finding that…I didn’t even remember my guess at the time was 101 shaves. I hadn’t even tried it by then, either. @BaylorGator sent me a stick soon thereafter…with Clubman. True story.
More than five months. Not bad. It reminds me I've not yet killed the cartridge of my Gillette Fusion challange. Started 1st November 2013 ... http://www.ilrasoio.com/viewtopic.php?t=3712 ... but I don't quit. https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/sos-october-2022.66791/page-24#post-2055129
