Yes I must confess the sticks make an excellent home made puck in your favorite container.

So is the new tub about the same size and shape as a Cella tub?
I don't have a Cella container, but I can compare it to Proraso if you want. It's quite a bit shorter, more like an inch tall. Not quite as big around as a coaster. That's about the most imprecise description you can have, but that's all I've got. 
This is a useful new offering from Arko. I have to admit that I am eager to store the puck and first use the bowl with Arko Ice Mint cream squeezed out from the tube into this new potentially airtight home for some product. Out of habit it seems that I will never cease having a deodorant container size helping of Arko in stick form.
I went through my first and so far only stick of Arko by cutting it in two and keeping it in an old 200 ml tub from The Body Shop. Loaded up the brush there and lathered in another bowl. After I get through sticks of LEA tallow, Wilkinson Sword, and Irisch Moos, I may get another stick of Arko and fit it into the Irisch Moos container.
One of the main reasons I went ahead and paid more was that it was a smaller, more slimline container than any other I had. In addition to that, it screwed down and wouldn't pop open like a Proraso container has on me several times. Now that I have the container, I'll be using nothing but sticks.
so how is the shave with it?? im so tempted by these i see the ing list is a bit different but is the shave the same? the lather? does it wear faster because some said its softer? and i may have to run and hide but i actually like the smell..
I ordered the Arko from bestshave.net... I'm beginning to think I chose the rowboat shipping option.. I ordered on March 23rd
i have a bunch of the sticks... and yet im very tempted to get this too
I like the smell too... Reminds me of Ivory soap
Well my 6 tubs just arrived and I am very much impressed. Lathered up beautifully and gave me an exceptionally smooth shave. Worth every cent imo.
The scent is surprisingly addictive though...
