Gentlefolk,
It's that time again - August is approaching, and so it's time to prepare for Arko August!
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 usual M.O. - one month, one soap - and August is for Arko.
If you don't have a stick of Arko, now's the time to get it, whether you buy it or trade for it. Don't worry, Arko won't break the bank, and it will outlast a lot of other soaps (which may be a blessing, may be a curse). Unlike the latest formulation from your favorite artisan, Arko is cheap, but it's a top performer, so it's definitely a "high-value" soap!
You can also use this advance notice to 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 both!
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.
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)
