It's Barbasol time! Love this stuff for the menthol. I do add extra water when I use it, and it does tend to be dry.

Thanks, I am definitely an officially an AutoStrop-addict....I've got a late-model A1 on the way -- really looking forward to it's arrival!!! As for Arko -- it's one of those high-value (i.e., inexpensive soaps) that just "works". I whole heartedly concur on all of your sentiments here! There is so much "Right" about this shave!!! And my money says you're gonna LOVE that incoming A1. I'M Crazy for mine.. I believe these early Auto Strops are definitely one of the elephants in any shave cave lucky enough to house one!👍👍😉. GAISMAN was a genius on so many levels!! I want a Gaisman/Auto-Strop tee shirt!! And we just can't say enough good things about Arko, for me. For the first seven years after I rediscovered TWS, Arko was the only soap I used.🙃👍 And I love the DIY Deo container treatment here. I did that with a Williams cake and an Old Spice Deo-Dispenser👍👍...Besides being a pleasure to use...It works great for traveling aswell! You've got so much of what I love about shaving going on here! I am also big fan of Arco. Great soap with great scent! And now i need to put it in some DIY container... soon! 😁

Nice job on the Arko. I put mine in an old Arm and Hammer container. Thanks!! Yours was the Arko container that inspired me to make one of my own. I tried to cut my label nicely (like yours), but the stick was used and had gotten wet, so the paper wrapping was not cooperating with me.

Sun 16th June Jayaruh Syn. No67 Tabac soap ATT SE1 / Windrose handle Schick Proline [ 7 ] Tabac A/S Lotion Rather than start a new rotation, I decided to treat myself to a repeat Shave with the ATT SE1, as it works so well for me. With no rush and a good lather I dod enough polishing up work to get what is probably the best Shave of this AC/SE rotation.
