    Default Arko

    I picked up about a dozen assorted tubes of ARKO and Damine(probably spelled wrong) shave cream from bestshave.net over in Bursa, Turkey.

    I gave the ARKO Ice Mint a try this morning, face lathering and all I can say is fantastic. I just wish I had discovered this stuff 40 years ago when I was stationed over there in the Air Force, but relied on the canned stuff from the px.

    Extra tubes will go as presents for my son and brother in law.
    Regards,

    Jeff

    I like these creams. They're inexpensive, lather nicely, and shave well. The Ulta-Sensitive very, very nice.

    I just used the arko cream for the first time this morning, added to Arko soap stick for super lather. This stuff is really nice; Inexpensive too.

    I love the regular Arko stick soap, and tried the Ice Mint cream recently too. I've never tried a mint shaving cream before, so it was kinda weird/unusual, but also really pleasant on a hot summer day! Arko is amazing stuff!
    Arko, Boar brush, '59 Fatboy (or Lord L6), Personna Meds/Feather, GFT Skin Food. Smooth!

    The Ice Mint is great. Tried it for the first time today. Definitely a keeper.

    It's a good brand. When I climbed back on the DE shaving train, I went through a tube of Arko Commando and got a lot of nice shaves accompanied by a nice scent as well.
    Cheers, Mike

    Thanks dad! You shouldn't have...
