ARKO August is almost here

[rbscebu]

For August I will be using an ARKO soap exclusively for my shaves.

It is spelt ARKO or arko but never Arko. Check the packaging.

My ARKO stick, all ready to go!

​

Until then, I'll just have to put up with a Tabac stick.

ARKO has a use-by date. Check before you start using it. If beyond the expiry date, you may find that the soap has started to loose its wonderfully memorable scent.

LOL I thought that scent had a half-life of 2,000 years...

[rhodes96]

I am defiantly not in for Arko August.


If we are doing Stirling September, I am defiantly in.

how does arko compare with tabac? i love tabac

Last year when I first tried ARKO, that magnificent scent reminded my of something that I just couldn't remember. After a few shaves my memory of the decent returned. I last experienced that scent as a wee lad when watching my grandfather straight razor shave. He must have been an arko man then. Unfortunately my grandfather died when I was about 5yo, but arko brings back fond memories of a great man.

I find that in shave quality, arko is just a little better. Both are about equal in lathering ability. I was told by one of my girlfriends that scent of Tabac reminds her of the smell of her grandmother's facial powder. That could be why some say that Tabac reminds them of their grandmother's purse.

That magnificent scent of Arko is an acquired appreciation, much like many need to acquire an appreciation for the taste of beer.

Don’t understand why people don’t like the smell of tabac, I like it and love the lather of tabac so I might try arko one day

Can i ask, never having used a stick soap how do you lather them up?
Face lather or rub it into a bowl or something or maybe cut shavings into a bowl?
Im curious about the tabac sticks.

Wet it and rub into your stubble. Suggest trying a Speick stick as well. Great performance and scent.
