It looks like there's interest in another Arko August (mostly from the Arkolytes, but it is what it is ), so I'm hosting the thread again. I learned a ton about how to get the best shaves I can from Arko and really enjoyed those shaves. Arko may be cheap, but it's a top performer, so it's definitely a "high-value" soap!
I don't have the discipline to 3017 a soap, but I can use one for a month. In my quest to actually use up the soaps I have, that's my M.O. - one month, one soap - and August is for Arko.
If you want to join me, just post here (or don't). Even if you just want to use Arko in August rather than for August, feel free to add a SOTD post.
I'm posting this now so that you'll have time to order some Arko and receive it in time, or let your Arko "air out" before use, or grate it and soak it in some aftershave in preparation for the month. Heck, you might do all three. Whatever the case, I'll see you in August!
As I did last year, I'm organizing participants based on how much they plan to use Arko during the month. The categories and participants were:
Arko Gung-ho (all Arko, all August)

I'll start the list in the next post. Feel free to self-select, or just post your intended usage level and I can maintain the list.
Let's Arko!
