    Arko is the only shave soap that I have right now. I could use it for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy.

    Yes, I believe I could easily do the same. If you can't get her done with Arko it is time to dig out the electric shaver.

    A lot of people claim MdC is great value because it lasts so long. I always wondered if you bought an amount of Arko shave sticks equal to the cost of one tub of MdC which would last longer?

    Well that was August 16th.

    I just came home from a meet with 18 samples. I test the samples by putting the sample soap onto my Arko stick and use it till I'm shaving with just Arko before the next sample. I think of it as cleansing my pallet before the next sample. Truth be told I'll probably unload most of the samples at the next meet and go back to just Arko.

    That's how it started, then it became 'I don't want to take any of these home' Just finishing up my first Wholly Kaw. Pretty good stuff!

    Arko, great performing soap, and if you buy enough, it's cheaper than your standard urinal cakes, so double duty !

    How is it I've never tried the Arko stick? I remember trying a tube or two of Arko Commando early in my straight shaving journey and liking it, but have never dropped the $2 or whatever the stick costs. I even remember the Williams Wars from circa 2011 or so lol!

    In that realm, there are still some cheaper tubed creams I like and buy occasionally: Palmolive Moisturizing Deluxe and Godrej Menthol Mist are two old favorites, both Indian if memory serves.
