Hmm if I'd find a reliable supplier of the shaving creams to give me some change I would go gung-ho with you. Would love to try the mentholated and sensitive version. Also all out of hydrate. Could get them, but for 10 euro's a tube...seems a bit much.


Down low it be. Or as we'd like to call it, only for special occasions.

First Arko-Boarko shave in the books!

I can't get over the fact that they actually stamp their sticks with the soap name. Very premium stuff.

The shave, ofcourse was excellently slick thanks to the Turkish lather.

 

[Shaun asleep]

@Mike M , sorry brother, I didn't notice. Looks like your name went off before my update.

you can't handle the Smell-O!

Nice touch though

Arko August 01st of August 2024.​

Shave number one for Arko August 2024. Two Arko Sticks grated this morning and pressed into a puck. My fingers still smell of Arko even after several washes with different other hand soaps.

Second Arko shave of the year this morning, used it yesterday too. I forget every year just how good Arko is, I just wish the scent was lighter.

I should use it more, but I have way too much soap and need to work down the home-made stuff, it doesn't have preservatives in it and will go rancid if I don't.

Happy Arko August everyone!!!
