Arko August 2021

While everyone is waxing poetic about their Arko sticks, I will contribute my Arko routine of late. I am a very frequent business traveler. And when I am not traveling, I like to camp a lot. I primarily use Arko as a travel soap. I have been using Arko for my travel soap for many years. Arko has been all around the world with me. And I love it. I think the stick format works perfectly for travel. And yes, i love the Arko scent. It reminds me of the Ivory soap of my youth. If you were to consider how much I actually travel (well, before the lockdowns anyway), Arko becomes one of my most used soaps. Well, the last dozen or so trips, I started rotating other interesting sticks into my travel kit. Ogallala, PAA Club Guy, La Toja, LEA, Speick, etc. And after doing this, I am quite certain now that Arko beats them all. So unless something changes, Arko is going back into my travel kit full time. I am looking forward to starting the Arko August event next week. I wont be using it every day, as I believe variety is the spice of life. But I do have a couple of long trips in August, and I will throw in a few Arko home shaves as well. Stay smooth!

I'm in for ARKO Gung-Ho. I have a stick that has been staring at me from the corner of my vanity every morning because it hasn't seen any love for several months for no other reason than I just have many other soaps that seem to edge it out of the rotation. I guess it is time for the ARKO man to muscle the others out of the way.
 
I cheated.

I finished my last ARKO stick a few weeks ago and was going to shave with my Tabac stick until the end of July before starting my ARKO August. Yesterday I read that the true original Tabac is no longer being manufactured. To save the last of my true Tabac, this morning I opened a new stick of ARKO and shaved with it.

It was great to get back to that lovely ARKO scent and lather. I don't think I will be able to stop using it for quite some time.

Does starting ARKO August in July disqualify me from ARKO Gung-ho?
How dare you! LOL. I’m certainly not a rule maker but if I had to guess I’d bet the hierarchy of Arkoland will forgive you.
It’s really great, isn’t it?

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.
Right. I use a boar brush AND strop on boarhide!

I'm going to have to change mine to Arko on the down-low. I just discovered AAA (All Aventus August) so I am going to participate in both.
 
Well dang. I need to be in the Arko Boarko group. I only have boar brushes. Lol.

Arko Sharko Boarko has a ring to it…
So it does. What the heck - I'll just make a specific category for each and every participant!*

*No, I won't. That's silly and this is getting ridiculous. Everyone is special, and while some are more "special" than others - and though I started much of this tomfoolery by trying to be clever and accommodating - I have to draw a line somewhere. This thread is about Arko, and about Arko it should be. Next year, there may be just two (2) categories!

On behalf of everyone in this thread, thank you for your dedication and perseverance even though things have gotten completely out of hand hahahaha :) Promise we’ll behave next year.

(Think you could add a category where we put a TOBS cream container in an Arko wrapper and call it “Tailko of Old Bonko Streetoriko” or something?)

So what do you shave with when you're 108?
