have you ever been to the Mountain of Arko aka Mount Arko? 👀

[Ace the Masta]

Never been to Mt Arko, but I once tossed a stick under my shed to get rid of a groundhog. Does that count?

Pretty sure that means banishment from the kingdom!

I'm from Bulgaria and the Arko sticks used to go for around 30-40 cents each and a pack of Polsilver SI for 20-25 cents. Sadly, they are gone from the mass market, but some say that they still appear from time to time here and there, but I can't find them locally as I used to in the past. Since Turkey is close, I can buy them directly or ask in one of the Facebook shaving groups when someone is going to Turkey to buy a few packs.

At least you got a way to source it

I'm trying to find some palmolive shaving sticks but they've been discontinued so hard to get tbh

Mount Arko can be a very dangerous place. Aspiring mountaineers must be properly equipped. You must take plenty of water, for example, and although only a fraction of the height of Everest, oxygen masks are essential. The slightest vibration can set off a deadly avalatheranche.

How would that get rid of the groundhog? Did it emerge from its burrow looking like a naked mole rat and slide away on the residual slickness?

Nice Arko stick collection you have there.

I know this sounds picky but it looks more like the Tower of Arko than a mountain of Arko. We need to be precise when expressing ourselves about Holy Arko.

Your guests: dude, do you have a male cat around here somewhere?? That stench!
You: No, but I do have 3dz Arko sticks

Lol honestly I don't get why people are put off the smell?

I would imagine most people who don't like that lemme NY citrus smell probably wouldn't enjoy a shave at turkish barbers lol

I haven't used it in so long I don't even recall what it smells like. I just know many folks don't like it. But also many folks do.
I do remember it being a fantastic soap though !

It didn't really work. I was lazy. I should have shredded it, dissolved it in hot water and poured a bucket under the shed to flood the hole. I eventually attached wire netting to the bottom of the shed and sunk it 6+" down and a foot out. No more critters. The skunks, possums and groundhogs that took turns living there moved to my neighbors sheds.

I don’t mind the wee mammals doing that with my shed. My neighbor shooting them on my shed from his porch without my permission and then lying to the police was a different matter… But now I know what to do if I need my guests gone and am happy it’s just strenuous labor and not the sacrifice of a majestic ARKO! shave stick. Thank you for the tip!

That worked for me when I threw a stick of Arko under my porch to get rid of the racoons. However Farmer Tan and Owen are living under my porch now.

I usually pop the stick into a stainless bowl, so essentially a puck

If he ever gets bored of shaving with Arko, he can play Tower of Hanoi with the soap sticks.
