Cult of Arko

[DevinLT1966]

Help I've been Arkoized. I just wish I could find a local supplier so I didn't have to pay shipping.

Hrm...Just jumped on this train too...Cheap including postage from turkey, I guess I'm sitting and waiting.
Has anyone attempted to mix it with other products to "tame" the smell ?

Not necessary - It smells fine as is.

I think all you guys complaining about the smell just need to Man up and just accept the fact that in order to get such a great shave you need to enjoy the MANLY smell that is ARKO!

Young man, you've tried soaps of renown
I said young man, there's a new stick in town
I said young man, don't let the scent get you down
Only wimps think that it smells crappy

Young man, you got to score some ARKO
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
You can lather, and I'm sure you will find
The aroma only makes milquetoast guys whine

It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
It's got a unique scent, that is sure to annoy
Separates the He-Men from all the boys

It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
You can shave yourself clean, I mean what's the big deal
If the paint in your shave den peels

Young man, it smells like lemons to me
I know some men, say it's more like urinal cookies
I said young man, you won't smell it you see
If you hold your breath through pass three

No man needs a soap that's top shelf
I said young man, ARKO pays for itself
Just don't sniff it, and you'll be OK
'Cause if you do, your septum will decay

It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
It's got a unique scent, that is sure to annoy
Separates the He-Men from all the boys

If the paint in your shave den peels

Young Man, with ARKO you can't lose
It shaves so good, and it'll clear out a room
I think it smells just like Lemon Fresh Pledge
But at least it's not like the Veg

So you see ARKO, well it's practically free
But that odor, would scare off a Banshee
So when you get, the stick called A.R.K.O
You can say good-by to SWMBO

It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
It's fun to shave with that A.R.K.O
Young man, young man put that spendy soap down
Young man, young man the ARKO dude never frowns

A.R.K.O and just got to get A.R.K.O

Don't get me wrong. I love the Arko scent but I had a couple of other sticks that I wasn't using so I cut a full Arko, 3/4 Valobra, and about 1/2 Spieck sticks into small pieces and mashed them into a bowl. It's smells really good(mostly Arko comes through) and works like a charm.(of course it would with those soaps)

Just about lather itself with that combination.

Getting a bit "sick" of the smell.

havent used it in a while because of this.

I can understand this, so I rotate, usually during the work week I use one of my great performing soaps that I know will quickly lather up with minimal effort, usually it is Arko, Cella, P.160 or Tabac. I tend to use that one soap all week and then on the weekend break to one of my other soaps or two then rotate back to one of the great performers for the work week. That way I get to try different scents as well as not get too sick of a single scent.

Picked up my second Arko stick from tsd shop for two bucks as a throw in to a blade purchase.
Immediately bagged it to store the scent until ready for use.

No kidding. I can't think of any of my soaps or creams that lather like this:)

Most excellent.

[StubbleShaver]

Just grated my Arko into my newly acquired (From SWMBO) vintage scuttle and can't wait to "get my shave on" in the morning!

Ah!

[Deltaboy]

Long live the Cult of Arko!!!

[jsj_297]

Arko stick is just fine by it's self.

[britewhiteram]

why do you guys grate it down and make it into a cup? is it not just easier to rub it on your face and lather away? its not like it doesn't make enough lather for 8 shaves........
