Arko Into Shave Mug

[jhan39]

Hello All,

I was wondering whether flattening Arko into a puck shape and putting it into a mug would cause this soap to lose anything or is it best left as a stick to rub upon the face? I'm asking because I have a new to me Old Spice mug that I wish to use the Arko in after having run out of William's for the moment.

Thanks,

Arko is quite happy to be smashed, smooshed or kept as a stick. It's a pretty laid back soap.

Nothing can stop the Arko man from smiling! Mash it in the mug!

i put mine in an old Bath and Body Works candle, the single wick $9.99 size. middle size. complete with lid since the candle comes with one.

works well!

I use Arko in an Old Spice Mug. Works very well and it feels right at home ..

The only thing it might lose is a little of that stank and that's no problem for me. I'm an Arko fan but can do without the scent.

Arko works BETTER in a good sized mug or bowl, IMHO.

I smashed/ground arko and VDH soaps into twist up tubes. Good for face lathering and stores well. When I get my scuttle made, I'm going to have something like this built into the bowl so I can grind the soap sticks for bowl lathering.

Treat it mean & keep it keen.

I agree with Jason on this one.

That is where mine is too, I like to put a dab of Old Spice aftershave at the bottom of the mug before I smush to appease the OS gods.

It can be mashed into a mug very easily however i prefer using it in stick form.

Cut it and mash in a mug , grate it or just warm it in a summer window and mash it into a plastic sandwich meat tub!
