My first Arko stick is down to about the last 5mm. I was thinking of unwrapping it and pressing it into the top of a new Arko stick that I have on hand.
What Do You Do With The Last Bit Of Your Arko Stick?

Been shaving with one for years. It never seems to grow smaller than an inch.

Yes that will work. Put the new stick and the remainder of the old stick in your pocket for an hour before attempting the graft so that they are both really soft. Another idea is to flatten the dog end and press it in a mug atop a puck of Williams or another hard 'white' soap.
Roll it to fit into a small (21g or 22g) empty glue stick twist-up container (or purchase an empty twist-up container) to use as a small travel shave soap stick; can add a cut piece from the next new Arko stick if required.
It’s delicious on crackers.
Make and offering to the shaving gods.
There's just no way I'd finish any of my Arko sticks. Far too afraid to do that. I've heard that, if you do actually finish a stick, it angers the Spirit of Arko Man who rises at the next new moon to despoil the remainder of your soap and scent collection. Everything will then smell like Arko. I've even heard tell that some very fine brushes have disappeared. Be afraid, be very afraid- the Arko Man cometh. You must open a new stick immediately, place it front and center on your bathroom counter, surround the new stick with five brushes, no more, no less, then circle your razor loaded with your favorite blade above the new stick three times while saying- "Great Arko Man I seek your favor, spare me from the despair of weepers, preserve me from the nicks of neglect, and fill my soul with your lemony scent." If you do that, you just may be spared....
I’ve ground them up and mixed them with other ground up soaps to form frankensoaps. Then press them into a tub. I’ve mixed it with other neglected and unwanted soaps like Williams and Conk. The results are usually greater than the sum if it’s parts.
Up until now I have only been surrounding the new stick with four brushes; I had long suspected that I was carrying out part of the ritual incorrectly...
I have a mug with an arko stick crammed in it. So when I use an arko stick as a stick and it gets low, I cram it on top of the mug crammed arko and move on. Schwew that seemed like a lot of cramming in that post.
Kirko is not pleased with your mocking rituals.
It’s wafer thin.
That's what I do with any soap that is at the end of its useful life. The hard soaps I grate and the soft soaps I slice up. Last year I had "one soap" that was made up with the remnants of about 12 soaps. Some of the soaps in that collection were Wilkinson shave stick, Arko, Cella, MWF, Tabac, B&M Seville, and Williams.
I do the same thing I as do with the rest of the Arko stick: put it in the urinal.

I hope you don't shave with it after that.

Beat me to the punch!
Reminds me of the old joke from Roadhouse, the sign that says, "Don't eat the big white mint!"
Yup. Leftovers are pressed on top of the Williams puck.
Williams makes any soap look good.
