I just had an excellent shave. I feel just as fresh and happy as the handsome guy on the lid.

Have you tried it in the shaving stick? Even better! And significantly cheaper, too!
Yes it is. I have had a couple of years with serious (not grave) physical issues that took away the fun in shaving (and visiting B&B) but things have been improving this year, shaving is fun again and RAD and RBAD flaired up so I couldn't resist checking how things were going here on B&B.
Thank you for letting us know friend. I always wonder when friends disappear...
Well the puck might be more expensive but it's still pretty cheap. And even though I enjoy the Arko scent while shaving I don't want to smell it every time I use my bathroom. So a little red lid is worth the price in my opinion
Just arrived, $1.25/stick. It's the new version with a fresh lemony/citronella/soapy scent that rinses clean leaving an invigorating non-greasy PSF.

You mean it is ARKO normal? Or a scent change? If it keeps mosquitoes away, as is normal, I am content. Seriously, the citronella content in ARKO does tend to keep biting insects' attacks down, from my camping experience using it. I understand citronella was used in anti-insect formulas by Allied forces in the Far East in WW2.Just arrived, $1.25/stick.

Same old goods with a happy description. Some might call it spin.
I hope it never changes actually.

Had a nice Arko shave at 4.45 this morning. Face lathered with my new little Truefitt & Hill brush that I won in the St Sue Auction. Followed it up with Dunhill for Men balm and EdT. I look good, I feel good, and I smell good.
Long Live Arko!
Long Live Arko!
well I've been using Arko now for almost a month, and I have used it 14 times now, the scent is still the same, the performance is of course amazing, and while another brand of soap might offer more in weight and volume for more money, but why......$6.50 for a puck shipped to my door.........you can't beat it.
I use it daily and get about six weeks per stick.
3rd shave with Arko, have the red container/puck, a mess to lather, little red container is too small. Kind of getting used to the scent, actually not too bad. Very good lather, just right, not too thin or thick, excellent cushion and residual for touch ups. And it's cheap. Do I need help or an intervention before this gets too bad, another rabbit hole full of little red pucks???????

That's a big difference from what I get out of an ARKO stick, unless you are shaving three times a day. I normally get about 150 three-pass shaves face lathering with a 75g stick of ARKO.

I haven't counted but I think I get around 100 two pass uses from a stick of Arko. The one I'm using now was opened for ARKO-SHARKO AUGUST in 2020 so it was used daily for a month; then used once or twice a month for a year, and then again daily for ARKO-SHARKO AUGUST 2021. Here it is about a month ago. It probably has been used for about 75 shaves at this point, and there's still a good bit of life in it.

Would you consider posting your thoughts on Arko's scent in the thread dedicated to that topic? We'd love to hear what you think.Just arrived, $1.25/stick. It's the new version with a fresh lemony/citronella/soapy scent that rinses clean leaving an invigorating non-greasy PSF.

Doing some catching up….
Wait a minute, you’re using a $2 shaving soap that you don’t like the smell of?
I do like the smell. On my brush and on my chin. But it is the only soap in my den that also works as an air freshener if I don’t keep it contained

Here is a worker inspecting an Arko storage areaI do like the smell. On my brush and on my chin. But it is the only soap in my den that also works as an air freshener if I don’t keep it contained
I zoomed in. That guy could use a good ARKO lather to remove all those whiskers.
