Arko stick soap to dry on my face/

[LMAN007]

IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I USE ARKO STICK SOAP, IT TENDS NOT TO TO STAY MOIST, AND DRYS OUT ON MY FACE, BEFORE I CAN FINISH 1 PASS.
I WET MY FACE,APPLY THE ARKO AND THEN LATHER IT UP WITH MY BRUSH.DOES ANY ONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM OR AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?
PERHAPS CUTTING UP A STICK AND PLACING IT IN A BOWL MIGHT CREATE MORE OF A THICKER LATHER AND A LONGER MOISTURIZED LATHER ON MY FACE?
ANY COMMENTS ON APPLYING THE ARKO WILL BE TRIED.
THANKS

I've only used Arko twice but I get a great lather by applying plenty on my beard, and gradually working water in with the brush. The lather explodes and I get a brush loaded with enough for at least two more passes after the first.

This. and less water. Believe it or not, dry or "airy" lather is the result of not enough product and too much water.

When I received my first stick, I took the wrapper off it and kept pressing on it, (Using the heat from my hands to make it softer) To put it in my VDH bowl.
I have used it there ever since.

I have done the same thing but you still did not answer my questions.

I generally use the same technique as you do. Wet my face, apply ample Arko. I then also rub a little soap into the bristles of my brush (which I tend to leave a little on the wet side). Before using the brush to work the soap into lather on my face --- I rub a little water over my face to rewet the soap. Plus --- I use war --- but not overly hot water. I found that using very hot water did tend to dry out the soap on my face (for some reason)

I agree with what the other shavers said.

I have test it in face and bowl
Nothing fantastic just a simple soap to do your job
The smell reminds hospital.
