Gentlemen, I am out traveling again in Germany and when packing thought "what soap should I pack, keep it small, because I will buy, buy, and buy while in Germany and later in Spain".
So looking in my supply I decided to grab a stick of Arko, and a small plastic container with a screw lid. Put the stick in the little cup and it came up to about half....so out comes a knife and about 5 or 6 seconds in the microwave. Press it down in the little container and I have a very light 1/2 stick of Arko for my carry on hand luggage.
I had not used my Arko for a few weeks trying to finish up some small amounts of cream and soap (so I would have more room for new purchases
). I have been in Germany 3 days now and had forgotten how well it works! I just don't get those who don't like the smell, or complain that it's inexpensive.
Now I have to decide if I really want to spend the money on other soap/sticks when I can get Arko for next to nothing and get such a good shave!
OH - and I was telling a friend here in Germany about the joy of a brush, warm lather, and a DE. We were talking last night and he was complaining that he did not like the blades he was using (will go nameless) so this morning I am going to give him a few of my Feathers and get him hooked on those. I wish I would have brought a couple of sticks of Arko for him!
In a little less than two weeks I'll be out of Germany and off to Lanzarotte in the Canary Islands! Let's see what shaving "stuff" I can find there and can't live without Then explain to SWMBO
Best to all!
