We know Arko has reached the Divine level when we talk theology.
There is a Cult of ARKO! should you heed the calling.
Be warned: ARKO! is for everyone, but not everyone is for ARKO!
Be consoled: If you are not for ARKO! because it dries your skin or smells better than you believe you deserve, there are hundreds or even thousands of other soaps and creams and oils available. Some are even slicker and a few may even smell better*.
And to return to the original topic, most soaps will traverse between stick or puck with everyday violence.
I suspect Canada Shaving Soap could be made into a shave stick, too, but it would require Count of Monte Cristo/Cask of Amontillado levels of violence.
* = I’d put Saponifico Varesino in the slicker and better-smelling than ARKO! category for scents I’ve huffed. ARKO!, of course, remains slicker and better smelling than I deserve and doesn’t make my boar brush think it’s Magnum P.I.…
