Who is is Arko fellow? And why are you smelling him?
A thread that isn't really about "Opinions on Arko Scent"
- Thread starter Owen Bawn
- Start date
The aroma brings back sordid memories of latrine duty during basic training. However I really like the packaging and must admit the stuff does work great!

Having read so much about the famous brand of Arko and seeing the division about the scent, with some tripidation I puchased a stick. Upon using it for the first time I wondered where it had been all my shaving life. The odours is a citrus based and is fresh and pleasant; naysayers will describe it as urinal puck scent, but that is unkind and an exageration.
The striking thing about the soap is the performance. It is stellar. A few shavings from the stick into the bowl, no need to bloom, then BANG! oodles of shave cream. An extremly slick and cushioning cream ideal for shaving. I have been trying some artisan soaps recently and the main thing I notice is the amount of soap they require to give a good lather. Arko provides way more suds per cent than the 'big names'.
I thank the forum for bringing the great name of Arko to my shaving rotation. I could say the same about TABAC, but that's a whole other bag of cats.

This is another example of the kind of creative, original, edgy humor that makes this thread a pleasure and a necessity.

What kinds of sordid activities were you lads up to in the latrine?
Latrine duty must be military code for whipping up mountains of gorgeous lather with Arko. Sounds heavenly actually.
Cleaning of course the stuff we used smelled just like it. The truth is cleaning toliets barehanded with a tooth brush is sordid no matter what you use. Cheers...

"Latrine" sounds French. I think it's a Montreal suburb.
Soooo... is that Arko stuff any good?
This thread is like an itch you can’t scratch.

I like it. There's that word again. Man that goes back aways...
You'd have to had been there. The word I'm thinking about also starts with an "H" but it's a place in the opposite direction.
I'm not sure how I missed this incredibly complimentary post!
This proves that EVERY SINGLE DAY you can get a Blessing from the Kingdom of Arkoland!
Oh! My friend! You mustn't DO THAT! I use old Pharmacy Pill Bottles and trap the Arkoman and his glorious scent inside. I've got one that came from @mio_cuggino all the way down here to Michigan that STILL smells brand new!

I fully believe that Arko should be called an "Arkodeziac!" True story doggone!
Ycch!

Wow . . . Arkodeziac! Hmmmmm. I admit it has a certain off-the-tongue thing about it. Perhaps a Turkey-cum-Michigan je nais se quois?
That my friend is what is known around here as a "non quality" post I think.
This is quite possibly the most important topic on B&B. Possibly?
Are you mixing Latin and French? @Owen Bawn ain't even THAT smart, or brave!

I think Arkodisiac is actually from the Greek; cum is Latin for with or and, and the French is totally mangled. So I'd say it's a perfect post.
