[FoolishMortal]

On behalf of everyone in this thread, thank you for your dedication and perseverance even though things have gotten completely out of hand hahahaha

@FoolishMortal your dedication, perseverance, and kindness know no bounds and neither does our appreciation of you, sir.

Thank you both - that is too kind.

I host Arko August for the challenge, camaraderie and quirky fun. So far, this thread has delivered in spades, and it's not even August yet!

Promise we’ll behave next year.

You say that now...

 

[MrBeez]

Shouldn't Arko Whole-Hog be synonymous with Boarko? I'm planning to use Semogue boars with my Arko all month. I'm gung-ho and whole-hog but not Arko-Sharko. Any porcine sounds I make will be involuntary/coincidental. Probably.

I love it. @FoolishMortal please throw me in the Whole Hog Boarko Pig Pen kind sir. Thank you for managing this madness!

 

[FarmerTan]

I love it. @FoolishMortal please throw me in the Whole Hog Boarko Pig Pen kind sir. Thank you for managing this madness!

I think that is the place I should be. This is my plan of attack, as well.

Just today my lovely War Department defended my honor.

A friend told me I wasn't fit to sleep with the pigs.

She was quick to point out that yes, I was indeed fit to sleep with the pigs! What a lovely lady!

True story doggone!

[FarmerTan]

You may be a @FoolishMortal , but you are da man my friend.

 

[GNR]

I just ordered another Boar brush to break in on my face during ARKO Boarko!

 

[pdieten]

Shouldn't Arko Whole-Hog be synonymous with Boarko? I'm planning to use Semogue boars with my Arko all month. I'm gung-ho and whole-hog but not Arko-Sharko. Any porcine sounds I make will be involuntary/coincidental. Probably.

Ummm...

All-boar brushes are Not A Thing here. (Unlike my mixed-hair brushes, which are fine.) Nonetheless I went all the way into the back of the cabinet and dug out three boars that may be tolerable for use (and are still here mostly because they're not worth selling) so maybe I'll give them a shot. But all month? Hard pass.

 

[FoolishMortal]

58 confirmed participants. Not too shabby...

 

[Dave himself]

I've been using it from the 15th and loving life just a man and his Arko

You are another cheater (like me). It takes great willpower to hold off using ARKO until the start of August. That is the challenge!

 

[SpannerX]

I'm in, Gung-ho for me! Love Arko. After this month I might have to get an other stick.

Fair enough. I love my mixed brushes too, and I use them most of the time. But I used Semogue boars for all of summer 2020, including Arko August, so I’m gonna keep it rolling.

 

[Jubejubilee]

So, since there’s also an Aventus August thing going on, here’s a recap of all the rules I’ll be sticking to for the whole month:

- Daily shaves
- Arko soap stick only
- Shark Super Stainless blades only
- Semogue boar brush only
- Aventus-related aftershave OR fragrance OR both, every day (Fine Platinum, Montblanc Explorer, Armaf CDNIM, and of course, the real deal Aventus on occasions)

I’ll also try to document the whole thing with pics and notes and post some of that in the thread.

Should be interesting

(I guess this makes me a member of the… arkosharkoboarkophotocreedo gang?)

 

[FoolishMortal]

I'm in, Gung-ho for me! Love Arko. After this month I might have to get an other stick.

Welcome.

[rbscebu]

My estimate is that with all the ARKO August participants, the equivalent of about 9 to 10 full ATKO sticks will be used up.

 

[bluesman 7]

You are another cheater (like me). It takes great willpower to hold off using ARKO until the start of August. That is the challenge!

What's all this cheating talk. Arko has been my only soap since mid April, when Arko August wasn't even in the headlights.

That's because you were already in ARKO April .

 

[pdieten]

My estimate is that with all the ARKO August participants, the equivalent of about 9 to 10 full ATKO sticks will be used up.

I don’t know. Judging by the rate my Arko stick is disappearing (or not), I think if we all shared one new stick to pass around and shaved every day, we’d still have soap left over…
