Help! I can't get Arko to lather!

HAH!


Just kidding.:straight:
I used it last night for the first time. Wow, that was quite an experience. And the legends are true, it is like magic. I don't even mind the scent.

Ha, nice try! I was going to come in and tell you that you were doomed. I'm a total noob and even I can get Arko to lather!

Well played!

If you don't mind the scent, it is hard to go past Arko. Good soap and great value.

I haven't actually tried Arko myself, but doesn't it pretty much lather if there is any water anywhere in the room?

I was going to say, if you can't get it to lather you're doing it wrong. Stop trying to lather in your ear, dammit!



No, that would probably work too...

If it had been April 1st I wouldn't even have bothered to take a look at a thread with a title like this. Well played sir!!

Yes, well played. Way to grab our attention. I just needed to see what you were doing. I once stared at the picture too hard and the stick burst into lather, so I needed to know what the case was. :thumbup:

Whew, you had me scared for a sec! The Mayan calendar has nothing to do with it, the end of days will come when Arko ceases to lather.

I'm pretty sure there is a whole series of Arko/Chuck Norris jokes waiting to be created, for those so inclined.

Had a historied stick of arko on my desk and this thread made me give it a whiff. Still smells the same as it did 18 months ago, though muted. It actually isn't a bad smell, not my taste for shaving products, but not offensive. Dying down a bit helped it out. Figured what the heck I'll give it a whirl. Already shaved today so I just did some boar'n'bowl.

First, I removed the mangled and decaying wrapper and stuck the brush and stick to soak a bit.

Then I scrubbed the stick into the nooks and crannies of my bowl... cause why the hell not?

Loaded up my brush and wiped the proto-lather from my fingers into the bowl.

Lathered that sucker up.

Not bad. That much product made for a super-slick lather. Texture was not up to my standards, but definitely on par with what I get from soaps like AOS and MWF. A very respectable lather.

Nothing wrong with that coverage. The stuff is a great deal and I can see why it has its fans. I did my whole left arm up like that and couldn't tell I'd used any lather from the bowl at all (I used a lot of product).
