Arko isn't even close to as bad as people made out

[hcoop112]

I don’t understand your question, @hcoop111

Fearing a major league pun has flown over my head and I’m missing out.

Even without understanding the pun, I won’t be missing out on ARKO! at my next shave.

It’s a olddddddd saying lol like oldddd....pretty much it means you are indifferent on it or you don’t care about something..say you get a new razor and it performed average and you are indifferent on it...well you would say when somebody asked how do you feel about this razor ....oh half a dozen one or the other when do people really make sense is the real question lolll

Amazon Cyber Monday Deal:

12-Pack of Arko for $8.45

If I ever find a deal like that on La Toja, I'll be ordering a pallet.

I snagged that deal on Black Friday. Delivered on Saturday. Excellent value!
I agree with you on La Toja!

I heard it as 6 to 1 half dozen to the other. Because ya know 6 is a half dozen. So "makes no difference".

And also....I am on board the Arko is awesome boat Love the stuff. Even the smell.

Arko shave soap plus lilac vegetal after shave- which scent survives?

Yeah that seems like an appropriate pairing

 

[thombrogan]

Thank you, @hcoop111 !

MdC is the Arko of France

This is the original saying

If you can stand the "particular" scent of Arko, ... it's not as bad as a performer as Mitchell's.

Now I always heard it as 6 "of" one or a half dozen of the other. Or maybe it was 6 of one and a half dozen of the other. I don't remember the "to" in the phrase and can't remember if it was "and" or "or" in between but think it was always or.

I vote for "six on one hand, half a dozen on the other"

Heard that one also. How about wish in one hand and... I better not finish that one!

 

[trentr]

As an old phrase, who ever we heard it from and who ever it trickled down from likely put their own tongue into it.

 

[BudgetShaverGuy]

6 of one, a half dozen of the other means something is the same thing, either way. Where I grew up, the people I knew were not so eloquent when you would try to propose the same thing with a different name. They would say same ** man.

I’m not sure how anything in this thread requires the use of this phrase though.

I liked the topic but found it a derail so moved over here

Post an ages old phrase you heard growing up

Based off a discussion on "6 to one, half dozen to the other" in another thread, I thought it might be interesting to put some old phrases all in 1 spot. I'll start with one my Grandpa used alot.... "Just between you, me, and the fence post...."

I like the scent of Arko but just for a test this morning, I added a few drops of aftershave to my Arko (bowl pressed) and lathered up. Results were fairly pleasant. Personally I find it unnecessary to change the scent

 

[Owen Bawn]

Terrific Arko shave today. My Simpsons Eagle G3 Pure brush absolutely raked the Arko out of the mug I had mashed it in. Beautiful lather, fine shave.

 

[Danlmo]

I have hard well water and Arko lathers better than other soaps I have used for this condition.

 

[Paul Bearer]

the complexity of scents found in soaps like Nuavia Blu/Rossa, DG Darkfall, B&M 42 etc has made me appreciate the simplicity of the arko scent much more. its strictly business and no nonsense.

i think i'm done with the expensive artisan soaps once my supply is done....it has become nauseating, not to mention expensive. i'll carry on with 3 sticks (arko, la toja, speick) and MWF (maybe throw in proraso red for winter). that's it.

 

[Guillermo Myres]

I think that Arko is sufficient. It whips up into a fine lather, just smells like soap. When I think of smell, to me the after shave is what is important. I like my Chanel AS, not overwhelming. I bought a 12 stick box years ago, still have nine. I have a short wide ceramic cup. I just refilled it with Arko chopped into 1/2" chunks soaked in hot water overnight , ecess water tossed and press it down. And I have a nice solid puck. Regards, Guillermo
