My first shave soap was a puck of Col Conk Bay Rum. I learned to lather with it, and I thought it was fine but I bought some a stick of Arko to try. I haven't gotten face lathering down, and as my puck of the colonel was getting used up I decided to try to blend them. Initially I melted the puck of CC into a mug using the double. boiler method. It melted to a liquid nicely and formed on the bottom of the mug.
I grated the Arko today into the mug with what was left of CC and attempted to melt them together. Apparently, Arko is made of whatever they use to make flame retardant clothing. After more than 2 hours, the Arko was still not melted! It reduced to a dry paste like substance. I mixed it as well as I could and pressed the mixture to the bottom of the mug. I'll try it tomorrow morning.
I see Arko has a product that comes in a tub instead of a stick but the stick is less expensive. Does anyone know if there is any difference in the product itself or is it just the container? If I like the Arko for bowl lathering I can just grate it into a bowl or mug and save some $$.
