ARKO! [for most of] February - only the courageous need apply

Your 2018 Sabbatical is 100% OVER, means you can go shopping again :smug::smuggrin:
Don’t think I care enough to pay eBay prices for one stick-
Arko is something you add to the cart to get free shipping or something like that, not the reason you make a purchase
 
I can probably do that random eucalyptus “SHAVE” crap from woolies- even still that stuff isn’t the worst I have tried.
 
I found my ARKO stick today, so I'm in!

Just a good tip for those using their ARKO. I've found the old spice deo stick is the best for grating up the Arko stick and smushing it in to use. And best of all its Arko red too! Leave the top off if you want the smell to die down or cover with lid if you like it like I do 😊.

Not sure why Flickr wont let me direct post but the link goes direct to the picture.
 
Congratulations!

You survived guys - any post ARKO! February thoughts?

What will you use tomorrow?
 
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Doppelgänger Black will be my lather tomorrow.

My original motivation for signing up to this challenge was to try and finish off my sole Arko stick - on that score I failed - there's still over 80% of it left.

It was a struggle to get through to the end, but funnily enough I haven't gone off Arko. It'll still have a place in my rotation; too decent a performer to just discard completely. Will be very very rare uses though, probably on days I need a quick one pass shave.

More than anything else I've realised how big a role variety plays in this hobby. Using the same thing everyday was just a drag, even if the results were perfectly acceptable.

And no the scent didn't grow on me. Also agree with @SpeedyPC , the lack of moisturising was an issue.
