Cult of Arko

[JoeH]

Had a great shave today with my tubed Arko.

Cult of arko on the 2nd page again??? Not angry, just kinda disappointed....gonna give those tabac lovers some ammo if we keep doing this.

[AirForceMX]

Still waiting on my Arko to arrive! Tabac? What is that? I bet it can't wash your dishes, serve as a post-workout snack, AND shave your face!

[joshua1970]

He kind of reminds me of that Rev Jim Jones guy!

LOL I see it, it's the hair.... but Jones def had a fatter face, and huge 70s glasses

he reminds me more of a young BOB, from the Church of the Sub-Genius...

but, I like MARCO myself... though admittedly a neophyte to the wonders of Arko.

can't see it ever leaving my rotation... especially at it's price :)

I think my omega boar is finally breaking in, as it gave me enough lather for 10 passes i think today.....

[bryan1980]

Alright......these little rolls of greatness were in my mailbox today. My five year old son thought they were fireworks. Close, but the only thing they explode with is lather!



That little guy on the wrapper is saying "Now, you too can have a lather this luxurious!" The scent is also quite good, in my opinion.

If you get a whole box of Arko can you use them as Xmas decorations?

Stash them around the house and drive SWMBO crazy .... with desire?

Keep one in the pocket of every pair of pants so you never have to shave without it?

At the rate my stick of Arko is lasting a box of 12+3 must almost be a lifetime supply

I wonder who profits from the sale of all this Arko. Does anyone know the Amazon Arko vendor?

Well, can't be much profit.

Gus/BOTOC

maybe not for the vendor, but I've certainly profited!

So this controversial scent I'm hearing about.....can it be overcome with an AS, such as Aqua Velva?

Like most soaps, the scent doesn't last much past the final face wash. Whatever you put on afterwards will dominate. In any case, the scent is fairly weak after you use the stick for a while. Still there, but not much stronger than Ivory or similar.

I think one of the attractions of Arko is that it is so simple. It does the job cheaply, almost effortlessly, and without fanfare. Arko actually stopped my AD for shaving soaps. I had dozens until I realized that Arko was all I needed. I still have dozens... but I'm not looking for more.

Yikes, I've run afoul of the cult!

Actually, if it smells as you described, it sounds quite nice.

Yes..let's not insult the cult members while your membership is pending...LOL!

I'm pretty sure he's named "ARKO man".

[jpress76]

Soap gets better with age, something I learned today. Maybe the only thing better than Arko is aged Arko?

[ricardo9505]

great shave with arko stick (mashed in a tub of course) with a drop of noxema. mmmmmmmm
av after shave
omega pure badger
ej barley chrome de89

[jsj_297]

Unfortunately my Arko is aged to the point in only smells like Ivory brand bath soap now......I miss the lemon. Oh well, thats the price I pay for being a super cool mug/face latherer.

[gwav64]

Another thing that's cool about Arko...it's a lot wider (diameter) than other shaving soap sticks and I find, as a result, that it's quicker to spread onto the face if used as a stick.

[Topgumby]

Wonder if three sticks of ARKO duct taped together would yield thrice the speed and treble the amount of that ARKtastic lather...
