Just wandering does anyone who uses Arko have you used a 12 stick box and if so how long did it take?
Has anyone finished a 12 pack of ARKO 3017 style?

I bought a pack of 3 and still on the first one(OK soap) 3.5 yrs ago so if we X 4 that would give me 14 yrs to go +- 2yrs wiggle room

Very generous
lol.. i guess. i think it was less than $1 a stick in that volume. I gave away it away with some NIB best badger brushes, small co bigelow tubes and bic metals. i don't think anyone was that impressed unfortunately.
I have been using Arko stick 10 years. I finished many of them in regular term. I always press it to a bowl. Consuming one stick takes about 3 months in two times shaving in a week.
Stick? I’m still working on my puck, which seems to get bigger after every shave.

What a horrific thought
This is a proven fact: just ask @mio_cuggino : if you leave just two Arko Men in a drawer, you will open it the next day and find 4!

Fact: I have bought ONE beautiful Arko stick in my life. I have given them away. I NOW HAVE FOUR!
So: scientifically speaking, it is IMPOSSIBLE to 3017 ANY amount of ARKO!

Yes. I bought a case of 12 about 11 years ago. Used much of it in 3017 fashion and others as travel soap. Took me 3-4 months per stick. Used in many different water conditions in USA, Asia, and Europe. Never had any difficulty creating good lather.
I would buy Arko again, but not by the case. I no longer have more than 2 or 3 soaps or creams on hand.

I've purchased more than one 12-pack. I love the stuff and love to give it away.

I bought a 12 pack in 2015 and I think I already had 2 or 3 sticks at the time. I've only used 3 but I've given 3 or 4 away since 2015. I just started a new one for Arko August, so I'm now on my 4th stick. I still have plenty.
Only eight sticks left!
I pressed mine into a bowl, too, because face-lathering doesn't work out well for me.
After 20-odd uses, I've used about a third of it, but it's an almost new boar brush which eats soap. I've got 6 more sticks waiting.
Tell me about it.
I started with one, many moons ago, and now I have almost 30 or so.
I will be certain to let you know if I start running low! I REALLY wish I had bought more Palmolive sticks, though honestly, they aren't TOO excessively priced since the rumors started about them being discontinued. Or was the rumor true?
I've been reading similar rumours on B&B.
When I looked into it a few months back (I think late 2019) it looked like they were getting harder to find in the UK in the larger retailers, but some of the smaller ones still carry them.
I haven't checked on the other interweb sites.
I think I should still have 3 or 4 stashed away from my last big purchase, a few years back.
After success with turning an Arko stick into a puck, I gave the Palmolive stick the same treatment. I only have 2 backups, so maybe I should look for more online, just in case.
For me, the performance is much the same as Arko, but the smell is more nostalgic.
I haven't spotted any in UK retail outlets for a while now.
