I can't believe it! When I first started, I never thought I'd last the whole month. But then it hit me - someone had to step up for those less fortunate. You know, the ones who just can't seem to appreciate Arko in all its glory. I won't name any names, but let's just say one name starts with an M and ends with an M!
From now on, I promise that when I enjoy my humble fortune known as Arko, I will take a moment to reflect on those less fortunate than myself.
@FoolishMortal, it's been a fantastic journey. Your contribution has been instrumental in ensuring Arko continues to thrive. Thank you for your invaluable support in keeping this amazing community alive and flourishing.
Last Arko shave of the month!

I'd like to thank @FoolishMortal for running Arko August, always a great time to celebrate Arko!
Shout out to @Mike M, for a man that hates Arko he always plays along and brings good humor to Arko lovers.

...but this one IS cracked.
366 shaves in 2024
Shave#240 of 366 remaining 126(100%)
Arko August
SV Saturday
Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Feather (4)
Brush: Muhle Rocca R94 STF
Soap: SV Desert Vetiver
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Creme
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Last night for SV Saturday Desert Vetiver popped up in the rotation and as I often do on a Saturday I decided to use the Rocca set to give me an easy, enjoyable shave. 3017ing soaps seems to show up just how good SV is when I do get to use it, especially when compared to certain Turkish urinal pucks scented soaps.
I had a good close shave, which is a bit surprising with a Feather blade on its 4th shave.
A big thanks is due to @FoolishMortal for hosting Arko August and as always huge thanks to all the members who participated without whom none of this would be possible.

Another August ARKO! Festival has ended.
I didn’t have time to post yesterday, so I duplicated my close out shave today.
A great lather and shave.

Ì spread half a stick of arko in an empty sv soap tin,. Fill with water and soak my large SV badger brush . Use the tin full of bloom water as pre shave. Load brush for a minute and result is superb luscious lather.
My suggestion, don't be mean with this soap and you will have luxury for pennies.

Thanks, guys, for playing with me again for another Arko August! As @Mike M said, this thread would be nothing without all the participants. It was fun once again, especially seeing all the people who found Arko! or revisited and returned to the fold. 
It's a good soap for sure.
