Shaving with Arko

[Talltexan]

I am new to using Arko, what is the best way to shave using the Arko stick?
Is there a certain way to get a really smooth shave? I use Feather blades with a Murker 34HD

thank you for your help!

If it gets anywhere near water and a shave brush, it will spontaneously explode into lather

Seriously, just rub a little on your wet face, it doesn't take a whole lot, and start to lather with your brush. I like to start out with a dryer brush and add water if it needs it.

I press mine down in a mug and use it as I would a puck. I find the stick is way too soft to use in its intended form. Arko is a great shave soap.

Both of the above suggestions are great but I prefer using it as a shave stick

Just dip the end in water and rub it across your face works the best

Thanks for the video. I watched it just before I had my first Arko shave. It performed just like it did for Geofatboy.

Wet the brush, wet your face, flush the Arko down the toilet and use a better soap.

Oh, don't forget to open a window to air the place out after having that Turkish Stink Bomb exposed to air.

I would have to say Greg, you are probably the no. 1 hater of Arko. The comments you come up with always give me a good chuckle.

I missed this thread till just now, but that is pretty much the same advice I had.

Sometimes the Arko Haters Kiddies forget they're not in their little enclave and make stupid suggestions to people asking for help....

Well, to be fair, the thread was 4 days old, and had lots of standard advice already, including video links and such, so the tail end having fun with it part was just that.
