1. I find Arko to be covfefe. I put it in an empty deodorant container.

  2. I think covfefe is just going to end up being the name of Trumps childhood sled.

  3. When I first received my stick of Arko, it smelled up the whole bathroom.
    I unwrapped the entire stick and just set it on a shelf to air out. After about 3 weeks, the scent ended up being a fraction of its original strength. It is very pleasant to use now. Great performance. It is well worth the little bit of trouble to air it out, and I will buy more when this stick gets used up.

  6. No, did not grate it. I just broke off pieces and pressed them into the container. It was very easy to do.

  8. I warmed up a stick first, then just kneaded it into a bowl. (tucked the wrapped soap under my arm while I did some reading. Once it hit body temp, it squished easily)

  9. I Would want to keep it as a stick. I think the twist up would travel better. I have a stick of VDH glycern in one. Makes a great travel soap.

  10. I just meant that it could be manipulated without chopping it up. I'll try to find the link for the empty tube you can get that's exactly the size for arko

  11. To me Arko has a mild lemon Pledge smell. It does lather well and lasts for a very long time. It's a very good bang for your buck soap.
    Once I started on Tabac though, I haven't used much else over the past year.

  12. I'm a retired plumber; trust me, Arko doesn't smell bad!!!
  13. To me, scent always takes back seat to performance. Thanks for your thoughts on Arko!
  14. I find that Arko is my choice more often than any other soap. It's one of the only shaving products I've ever used up and bought more. I can only say that about 3-4 items in the den.

  15. I suggest an Arko Users/Lovers Club. I would be member #2.

  17. Arko is my travel soap and a wonderful performer. I'd join that club. Put me down as member number four.
  18. Consider it a thing gentlemen just changed the name of the thread!
