Best way to open a stick of ARKO

I've opened 5-6 sticks of Arko all different ways.
Didn't notice one way being better than another.
I throw them out after 1-2 shaves. I'm not into the bug spray / detergent thing.
Last one I got for a trip to Vegas, used it 2x. Left it in the hotel.
Yes, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.....

I have a strong aversion to used soap. But if I find Arko in Vegas, I'll make an exception!

Wow, now it's not just old nuclear tests contaminating Las Vegas

I hand-peel it and store it in a prescription bottle for travel. This is for face lathering. BTW, I drilled holes in the cap and bottom of the bottle.
But that unwraping and smushing into a bowl is a good idea as well.
 
Recently, I gave a young newcomer to DE shaving a complete starter kit.
Then, yesterday, I gave him a hands-on crash course in DE shaving.

To see his face when I cracked open his new stick of ARKO .... :

... His nostrils contracted,
... his eyes shifted nervously,
... he looked bewildered ...
while I reassured him:
... "you'll get used to it .... it's an excellent soap...Turkish Tradition ... !"
 
You’re timing for this was perfect. I had literally just open this stick before I read it. Just had to post.

I was debating whether to cut the Arko man’s head, or just giving him a buzz. I opted for the buzz.

It is giving off an amazing aroma. Hopefully the neighbors cats will still have something to eat. Now that the mice have ran away squeaking.
With a SVORD!
