Will @Mike M find the gumption, heart and courage to " @never-stop-learning " and possibly find enlightenment in Arkoland with the greats such as @FarmerTan

I think the chances of getting @Mike M to shave with Arko are slimmer than a snowball's chance in you know where. LoL
But what if @Mike M had the self-sacrificing fortitude and courage, for the betterment of mankind, to repent of his ill begotten notions and seek arko-enlightenment! We must have faith!
That Nor'easter balm is very nice!
Heheh.... I did not know about this challenge but after I discovered the Turkish supermarket in my neighbourhood now sells Arko I have used it for weeks now.
Still cheap, still a great performer.

Sooo...are you officially in? I'm happy to add you to a category...
Yes I really like it. Scott threw in a free bottle with my first purchase. I will definitely be getting more. Scott is very nice and his products work very well.

I'd love to!
Is there a 100% Arkonite category?
I should have gone Arko/Sharko/Lupo for August...but it's too late now as other razors have been used. Perhaps next year.

Well said.Thank you for your kind comments. To me, learning is a lifelong journey with no final destination.
"Arkonite" My word of the day!
Days 8-12: KCG, Yaqi Cashmere, our favourite soap, Bulldog Sensitive balm; great shaves!
It was another lovely shave using the ARKO puck. A Lupo .95 OC, a Gillette Nacet blade (3) and ARKO produced a wonderful shave with no weepers, nicks, cuts OR irritation.
I've used ARKO exclusively since July 24. It always works very well!
