ARKO

[lagaffe]

I really fancy giving Arko soap a try, but before I rush off and buy any, does anyone have any they're willing to sell me (or have a little bit of a stick left that they're willing to let me have to try as a sample)?

I've read all the posts about the smell putting some people off, so I'm keen to sample before I part with money for a new stick (tight git that I am... )

Cheers!

I acquired an ARKO stick for about £2.50 all in off eBay - it's hardly bank-breaking stuff.

You're right - that's good all-in. I've obviously been looking at the wrong sellers on eBay where the postage dwarfs the cost of the soap!!

Off to look again......

go and ask at the Turkish barbers near the big roundabout at the Playhouse, they might give you some

OK - not ticking the 'view all International sellers' on eBay was my big mistake before. Found a seller in Turkey (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/leufeu)whose postage charge is less than the price of the soap.

That way I'm not going to feel too bad if I hate it....

Or chase me out, brandishing cuthroat razors, for being a scrounger!

offer to pay then, should get one for 50p

better still, go for a shave

they'll probably use Arko on you

It's OK - I bought one on ebay a few posts back.

Thanks for the suggestions though, chaps!

Arko is the business!

I'm looking forward to trying it, fozz!

How's things over in Houston? My sister lives there & I took my daughter over & spent 10 days with her, my nephew & brother-in-law last June. I thought I'd melt in the heat... phew!

He'll do six sticks for approx £11 incl p&p.
Looks like value to me.

He's very good - he replied within an hour of my eBay purchase to tell me he'd post it out the next day, then let me know today when it had been posted.

Normally I pay for an item and then I never hear anything from the seller - I just have to assume it's been sent out!

Very good thanks lagaffe. Life is hectic with two kids & their after school activities, swimming, which also involves weekend duties from time to time. But that will be the same in most places. All in all we enjoy it , except the summers which are wilting at times.
