  1. Did you just load the Arko is a ‘commode inspired’ receptacle? I yearn for this type of low hanging fruit, Mon ami. :eatdrink047:
    PS- good job allowing the Arko to air out by grating and un-lidding…:yoda
  2. Fans of Polish Pottery might take umbrage to that comparison.
  3. Fastest way to kill a soap is to use as stick
    With no control, ends up to over than 2 grams per day

    Maybe You're enjoying this too much ...

  5. 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!!!

  6. Understand.
    You're looking for just a quickie ...
    :sexe:
  7. I silently eschewed @jtspartan's comparison. I didn't speak up since he's making our shaving bowls. Your pine shaving bowl may now be at risk.
  8. Plywood makes a better bowl, imo.

  9. How about we 3017 two sticks of Arko? Aside from @PanChango's 55-stick extravaganza, 3017ing two sticks has never been attempted. Just think, we'll go down as Men of Renown in the Shaving Hall of Fame.

    Your second stick is on me, if you choose to step up and stand in the gap for shaving excellence.

    Break free from the chains of mediocrity, Joseph.

    Triple. Dog. Dare.

    notice how i leave the lid off.to let it breathe..;)
  12. 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.
  13. You crystal-crack cray-cray...

    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.

    Methinks the photo is misleading. The tub isn’t nearly as full as it appears:

    Better neck work today. The CC is a slippery sucker. Not ideal.
    I weighed the soap and it has actually gotten HEAVIER!!!!!
    OMG :angry017:
    Have a great day!
