Arko August 13th 13th day, 13th Arko shave Torrey 232 Arko stick Omega 636 No pictures because I'm mad at the Torrey. Not nearly as smooth a shave as I was expecting. And my neck is still burning three hours later. Must be the razor's fault, right?
I've been stupid-busy of late, so today was another quick 1-pass SAS. Arko lathered up in about 30 seconds and helped me get out the door. Happy camper! SOTD: RazoRock Mission Nacet (5) Arko in a (used) tub Stirling 2-band synthetic WH w/menthol, LT, Stirling ASB Vintage Avon Moonwind Cologne
Had my second great Arko shave today! Already starting to really like that lemony soap scent, reminds me of vacation hotel soap and also a little reminiscent of my Grandma's lemon Joy dish soap, so those are both very nice memory associations for me.

When I work through all the artisan soaps I have in the next few years, I will only use Arko and Williams. I just don’t see a need for anything else. AoM; B.O.S.S.;Knight of the Veg Table;MFR2019
Arko August 14th Wade and Butcher "Hollow Ground" Maggard's Black and White synthetic Arko stick (of course) 14 of 14 so far. But I gotta admit, I'm now hearing the other soaps in the drawer calling my name...
You have reached the inflection point. Stay strong, and know that the others will still be there on September 1st.
Again a good shave today with Arko, followed by Pitralon Polar AS. I think I will use this AS more often, as it also cooled a little bit, which I liked. Karl

I thought I was going to be Arko so-so but 10 days in and I've used it every shave. Although with the triple digits temps I have taken to adding a squirt of Pacific Rush into the lathered brush. Slick and cooling!

Over a week of Arko shaves, head and face. Dialed it in now, was going way too dry at the start. Still a great soap.
