Has anyone else noticed the price of Arko...

[dog]

Has gone up? Both at Amazon and at shoeboxshaveshop.

At shoeboxshaveshop it was $1.99/stick, it's now $2.39.

At amazon I'm pretty sure the case was $14.99, it is now $19.99.

Should I start stocking up for the shavepocalypse???

Ofcourse. I was lucky enough to find a case locally at about 10 usd...The moment they have a new case in, it is mine

Yeah, nothing beats buying a box of Arko locally.

shrug, it was crazily cheap before.

They probably sold so much when it was a buck or less a stick that they figured they might as well raise the price.

My guess is that they check on B&B too....

So we had better keep still then... Quite sure my local Turkish shop keeper does not check here...

Also noticed that at Amazon the prices for Jaguar boars are up with 3 - 4 usd. But now it includes a "free" tube of ARKO cream...

The weakening of the US$ against most other currencies over the past couple of years probably has a part to play. Distributors can only hold off the effects of a falling dollar for so long before they are forced to increase the prices of imported goods.

Im noticing prices for everything is going up. I was looking for Godrej menthol mist last night and it used to be $1.99, now it's $3.99.

The amazon price on the case of arko says you get an additional 3 sticks. Maybe that bumps the price up too.

Comparatively, Arko is still dirt cheap next to your other big names. Even at this "higher" price it's almost the same cost as VDH.
