    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.

    If I didn't have half a kilo of Cella left yet I would have to check that out!

    Maybe in a few years.

    I have a stick that I got at a meet at your place Dave and I like it for how it works but I can understand how some do not like the smell. I am thinking after reading this thread of putting a piece in the bottom of my new shaving bowl and seeing how that works.
