    Do you melt the Arko, or does it have to be grated?

    Actually, I applied some pressure with my thumb, but pressing 2 sticks with thumbs gave a little bit soreness. Later on, I applied pressure with a wooden spoon. I must admit that was better. Arko is not a hard soap, you can shape it easily, but I think grating would ease this process.

    Usually recommended not to heat tallow soaps, I'd grate it.

    Dont melt the arko! It will seperate and be rendered useless (although not an expensive experiment one that will not work!)
    Grate and Press. Same with Palmolive or other tallow based soaps or sticks.

    I was home sick today and shaved about 3 in the afternoon so probably no shave tomorrow. Very nice shave, smooth and close. Have a good one.

    Well it looks like the North/South Connection are both under the weather today. I am sick as well, but I had to go to work. Tomorrow I rest. Get well soon Steve and I hope to do the same as well.

    The intoxicating almondly-allure of the Cella was obviously too much to ignore...

    That and the new brush, it's an INSTANT love. I'm going to have to do a review here soon, I'll give it a week to let it break in and see how it goes.

    The SOC may take a wee bit longer to fully break in (at last mine did, but mine was boar, not badger). The tips really soften & bloom nicely!
