Pitiful...just pitiful.

Leave me alone.Hey @Owen Bawn . You better stock up on some more Arko because you never know when the shavepocolypse will come. If you haven’t heard Mitchell wool fat is no longer has tallow as an ingredient.
I hope you were able to get a puck of the last remaining tallow MFW while you were across the pond.
Some think Arko will be the last non-artisan tallow shave soap very soon.
I recommend getting DR Harris shave soap if you are looking for something with tallow and triple milled.
You can read all the drama that this has caused at.
Mitchells Wool Fat Shaving Soap is no longer Tallow based
RIP Tallow MWF My favourite tallow based shaving soap, which was cheap and easy to find in the UK is now reformulated into a palm oil based formulation.www.badgerandblade.com
I always thought that Arko was the original artisan soap. What do ya know?!Leave me alone.
You see it as a banishment I see it as an improvement. To each their own.Does slock think we've forgotten that he's the reason this thread was banished? He's either stupid or he's got a lot of sand the way he's flitting around here.
Back in the 50's there was the Janitorial artisan movement in the arts. Arko stems from this.I always thought that Arko was the original artisan soap. What do ya know?!
How have I never seen this? Perfection.Pitiful...just pitiful.
Have you tried the Veg?Just unwrapped my first stick of Arko and it took me a minute to stop laughing. Its reputation seems pretty well deserved.

I think Arko reached its artistic height in the sixties after Andy Warhol visited a public men's roomBack in the 50's there was the Janitorial artisan movement in the arts. Arko stems from this.
Speaking of India, I'd like to find a nice soap with the scent of goat vindaloo.Found this thread randomly, but I had to comment on my Arko experience.
My wife is Indian, and when we visit her family outside Delhi, we stay at a club/resort that a family friend has a membership with. They really chose an inspired name, "City Club." Well it had this constant cleaner smell from housekeeping.
When we got back, shortly after I got my first Arko stick. I opened it and smelled it. I immediately went to my wife and said, "Remember staying in City Club?"
"Yeah."
"Smell this."
*Sniff*
...
"It smells just like it."
Lemon(grass) scenty cleaner smell. Not bad, but it is the smell of a cleaner.
Maybe I'm just weird. I do kind of like The Veg.
Now you need to find a way to stop @FarmerTan eating the shrubberyWe've had a lot of problems lately with the deer in our area eating all of our shrubbery and other plantings.
But I finally found a solution! I took my last remaining stick of Arko!, chopped it up and scattered the pieces around the perimeter of our yard.
It worked like a charm!
I haven't eaten shrubbery since @Owen Bawn caught me nibbling on cat knip. Or was it nip? Anyway, it smelt like peppermint to me!Now you need to find a way to stop @FarmerTan eating the shrubbery
