Mike, you have quite a nice bunch of stuff my friend.

If you'd ONLY give Arko a TRUE try I'm thinking you'd have more money than Midas.

And then I could hit you up for a loan!
 
Frags

I have 1 A/S Balm and 6 aftershaves, but according to the Mrs they all have to go, because she doesn't like them. I may save the Old Spice because I like it and it was a gift from my son. I did have another, Suede Blue that she approved of but I used the last of it last month.
I will replace it in the next couple of days with Happy by Clinique (one she approves of)
I hope to get my frags down to three or four and keep my 1 balm. I am currently using the last of a GIT clone called Tweed, liked it when I picked it up, but the Mrs says it has to go.
If your wife says the Brut has to go, then tell her +1. It's horrible. The only thing it has in common with 70s Brut is the name. I gave mine away.

The folks over in that Provence pronounce it “Mar-tin dee Kan dray.” They originally tried spelling it “Arc Eau,” but everyone complained about the brain bowls and glass jars used in place of a foil paper wrapper.
You keep this up and you'll be our own Poet Laureate.....at least until @Owen Bawn comes back out of retirement...

So don't get TOO comfortable in that chair, Tugsley!

@Owen Bawn doesn’t join cults and I’m in a bunch of ‘em. Plus, he called me “Irish” instead of a Yoo-knighted Staytz Sitting Zen. Citizens of Ireland; including our esteemed @Mike M ?; are Irish, not me. I’m a proud ARKO! American through and through. @Mike M is proud to not use ARKO! on a habitual basis.

I shaved a fortune
I admit it....I still don't get it. ARKO is the same price per ounce as Proraso on Amazon +- a few pennies. And with Proraso you can choose from 4 different scents. Does it last a lot longer? Or is it the smell that lasts the longer of the two?

Enlighten me... please. <eg>

ARKO! soap has a lot less water than Proraso, so it lasts much longer.

I’ve never tried Proraso, so I don’t how well it works. The green, blue, and lime appeal to my curiosity.
