Thank you! In Michigan our mosquito problems are legendary! I can be bit in July and still be itching in December! I will have to start bathing with Arko, and only partially rinsing.I went on an extended fishing trip in the wilds of Northern Ontario one summer. What you might not know about Northern Ontario being it’s in the Canada and all, is that in the summer, they have mosquitoes that put the tropics mosquitoes, Africa’s mosquitoes, and all of Indonesia’s mosquitoes combined, to shame!
They are freaking air Puranas! Worse still, they coordinate attacks with their ally and equally painful cousins, the venerable... horsefly. The air-cuda.
But note, if you shave with Arko in the morning, remarkably you’ll be fine for up to an 8 hour period. You fish while your mates dance. Yup.
You cad! No gentleman would use March fat.
This here is a smart man y'all.I will only use February fat, it’s post holiday richness is the most cushioning there is...
For what a daily shave costs, even with a luxurious soap, it's not worth trying to make something work that just doesn't work 100%. You can try to air Arko out all you want but it's still Arko. Shave with what you love 100%, it might cost you 30 cents a shave vs. 10 cents, but you're probably spending $1 somewhere during the course of the day on something nowhere near as enjoyable as your shave soap.
You speak the truth! I have lived in Northern Ontario for most of my life. You do not mention blackflies ( the horrible little beasties). The mosquitoes and blackflies get so bad, they will chase a 1500 lb moose out on to the highway just so the breeze can provide some relief from the clouds of insects. Spring is the worst. I'll have to try a stick of Arko in my pocket. As an added bonus, if I ever get lost, you won't need a bloodhound to find me.I went on an extended fishing trip in the wilds of Northern Ontario one summer.

And don't forget, the Arkoman model is the young Santa Claus!I like Arko. The scent went away in a few weeks when I let it air out. The lather, slickness, cushion, and post shave care were all adequate for me.
If you can handle the scent...
Great travel soap. Convenient format (stick), works well in any water hardness, makes great lather with any brush or even no brush, protective, slick lather, good shaving results. And, it’s cheap if you leave it behind in your hotel room..

Sure saves you time with the lathering!This is the reason Arko is my travel soap.
After doing Arko for the month of August. It's making it into my Mon-Fri work day rotation.
