And while the boys were definitely more difficult/demanding/frustrating/expensive/time consuming, and I still have 2 of them to "finish" LOL, they are pretty special as well.

Good job Dad! Sounds like your daughter is wicked smart and had a good plan. No plan is ever executed without help and support, that’s where you come in.
LOL!
When you consider that we’re a bunch of fellas who cannot choose between 21 soaps or 12 razors, explaining that all of your children are equally loved by you is absolutely not necessary!

I did a trial yesterday which I concluded, some of the ingredients must be dissolving at an increased amount causing the off-putting smell.
I did indeed smell it before when I was loading it from a bloom container. All I did now for the test is cutting a single use "penny" out of the stick soap and lathering it up in the bowl.

Do you give them good nicknames??
For example: Son #1 = ARKO
Son #2 = Wolfman
Son #3 = Puck
and your daughter’s nickname = GEM
LOL.

...but this one IS cracked.
I heard that the only things to survive a nuclear war would be cockroaches and Arko sticks. At least the cockroaches would get a good shave and let's face it they probably won't mind the smell
Arko good.
More likely you will see the planet covered with roaches with a big clearing where the arko factory stood
Oy! You forgot about Keef.
Either plop it on the top of your next stick or puck, smoosh it into the bottom of a bowl, or cup it in the palm of your hand and load your brush.

Take a pocket knife and drop a penny size into a lathering bowl. Once the brush loads it up, add water little by little. The key is to ensure evenness. If you start with free water in the bowl, the soap won't absorb water twice for even consistency, imho.
I had a shave today the way I said and afterwards it didn't leave soapscale residue on the razor. That one feature puts it in top rank for me in terms of ease of use. Props to edta.

This morning I rubbed the Arko stick on my face and hit it with a synthetic Simpson Duke 3, dampened but not wet. Beautiful lather. Each time I dribbled a few more drops of water into the knot the lather exploded again. Took about 22 dribbles to get the lather thinned to perfection. Left to its own devices, Arko and a synthetic brush will lead to a massive Santa beard every time. Looks good for the camera but when I shave I want my lather thin, wet, and shiny, stopping just short of runny. I've used Arko pretty regularly for 10 years and I still consistently use way too much. Because it's just so much fun.
It just works incredibly well regardless of price.
22 dribbles? 
That's 11 double-dribbles! What kind of basketball player are you?

It’s okay when @Owen Bawn does the 11 double dribbles because he’s doing it in the22 dribbles?

Some men dribble, while others dip. I'm a dribbler, although I've been known to be a drizzler on occasion when I really feel like cutting loose.

Arko and the little Simpsons Classic 1 synthetic today. Rub the face with the soap, hit it with the damp brush, and VOOM!!!! Like magic.
