Where do I get Arko Stick in Toronto Canada?

[jbs33333]

Dear Shave Bros:

I have heard a lot of about this Arko stuff. I think I want to try it.

I generally order from Fendrihan or Italian Barber. Neither carry any Arko product. So, where do I get this stuff?

Thanks in advance.

There should be some Turkish shops down on Queen West.

what Turkish shop on Qu W sells Arko?

Can't remember. In late 2011, one of my former coworkers who lives downtown picked me up a stick from a shop he said was within 5 mins walk West of City TV.

Bestshave.net sells Arko direct from its home, Turkey. Cases of Arko sticks are available on Amazon.com. You may find a Canadian seller (which would probably eliminate you having to deal with customs) on eBay or Etsy but I can't claim that for sure. As for customs duties I am not familiar with Canada's policies. In the US we are allowed $100 a day (one source I have seen claims that is now $200 a day) of items mailed from foreign countries with people saying that enforcement is sort of lax. However, as a Canadian that may not help you much.

I order my Arko from Ebay.ca

Online retailer Classic Edge carries Arko.

This might help but a quick look doesn't show Arko in Toronto. If you find some, please update wiki

In the US it can be found in Turkish and sometimes Middle Eastern Grocery stores.

Italian Barber has it now. I got it in my last order.
