Arko - what can I say?

Never actually tried it as a stick. I like it pressed into a mug too much.

 

Next months 30 day focus going to be Arko related perhaps????

 

Its probably just as good either way. I got hooked on the almost magical appearance of thick lather after rubbing it on my face.....

 

I think Trey rubs the stick on hi face......it makes it much easier to bite off a hunk
What a bunch of Arko fan boys

 

I spread it on crackers. Or on bread with a little jelly.

 

Great idea. Let me think on it. I just received some MdC, and I'm itchin' to try it. Maybe a comparison between the two most talked-about shaving soaps (MdC and Arko), holding all other variables in my routine the same?

Just because the outward appearances are different...it's the shave the counts.

 

Lol- I might be afraid to discover that the $1 stick performs as well as the $70 tub.

At the very least the MDC should win the smell contest.

 

As you can see, Arko gave Trey @trey06dmd another smoooooth shave. It's what's for breakfast!

 

But...how will you know if you don't like it as a stick if you don't try?

 

Arko is in my blood.

 

You might want to consider seeing a doctor about that.

 

I did, he decreased the dosage and increased my alternative soap consumption.

 

Try a small Ziploc container. The lids seal, the containers are inexpensive, stackable and work well. You can easily fit two Arko sticks into one container.

 

Just bought a puck at Pastor' s last week for 2.99. Did a test lather and couldn't believe the lather. Cant wait to try it and hope it tastes as good as it smells.

 

Great tallow based soap with a fresh clean scent. For variety, try using it traditionally by rubbing the stick on your face and face lathering. Works great that way too, enjoy!

 

That's how I use it, but instead of the short end I rub the length of it like a bar of soap.

It is quick, easy and I get a great shave using it.

 

Arko, the toilet block of the gods! I am definitely not a fan of the scent. I find it drying and irritating, and there is no moisturizing component.
I know it's cheap, but there is better out there. It's almost as bad as reading about guys who use toilet soap....YMMV yadda yadda yadda....

 

Better!

 

My shipment of Arko arrived today, and it was delivered to my Bride's work address. She caught a whiff of the goodness inside the package, and she decided to double-bag it since she was riding home with a coworker. The Arko is currently sitting in our garage. My Bride thinks it might work better than bug spray.

I'm splitting this shipment with a friend of mine who just started wetshaving. Neither of us have tried Arko. I look forward to giving it a try next month. I'm calling it Arko April.

Don't tell @Bama Samurai ! If he gets wind of this, he may go into shock!

 

If you're going to face lather it - which I truly recommend - just be sure that before you start rubbing the stick against your face that your face is WET. I don't mean a little damp - I mean WET I personally found that to make a world of difference
