    There is not enough soap in a case or Arko to degrease a Ford engine block. Just saying.......

    Something tells me that a liquid Arko solution pickup on a pressure washer could get out of hand really quick. Or, might be fun.

    Just made sure to make a video of it. I am happy to contribute one of my precious sticks of Arko for the endeavor. For some reason it seems to lack a risk factor :signs002:

    I keep coming back to this thread, and the same thing comes to mind each time.

    "What's the challenge to Arko?" Getting a bad shave? :)

    Um I heard my Ogallala Bay Rum whispering to me the his morning ..... so I used that only no after shave. The result is nice face feel and a lingering scent of clove it's rather nice.

    Arko tomorrow.

    It's a challenge to myself to see it through, have the full product usage life experience, and now a random set of two answers.

    Well...Barbasol, Arko, Veg, and cheap Shavettes with random blades on a shaving forum is my middle aged step-dad punk rock. Testament to my claim that DFS is DFS, and that techniques trump tools. I honestly like Arko very much, and think it's basically de rigeur for new converts, if for nothing more than it's polarizing status.

    -Or-

    Maybe it's under the radar moderator white hat trolling. Veg, Arko, and Barbasol can cause actual forum trolls to attack! And it's ok when they attack, and most helpful that they've self-indentified.

    That's right, drugstore products as lazy bird-dogging. But, don't tell anyone, I'll just deny everything.

    I loved your Renaissance post on your thread! That's me also, using the things I acquire. I did the newbie RAD thing, but then spent the next year using razors in 30 Day Rules. The only allowed outcomes after a month of evaluation was "Love it!" Or "Give it away!" Also I am in another music phase right now, studying bass with a teacher, building a guitar effects path, and learning all I can about all that.

    And we find nothing weird that a shave soap was whispering to you. Pretty normal stuff around here. This was Williams Wednesday in the hutch so it was screaming for attention.

    I also need to get a few Arko shaves in. Maybe I will do that over the weekend.
