Mention the word “Arko” to anyone who wet shaves and they probably have an opinion of the short stick that has a unique smell. The shave stick, which goes for as cheap as $1.99 on some websites, has been around for decades. Created in Turkey in 1957, the tube still has what looks to be the same artwork around the foil-wrapped stick. Say what you will about scent, which is unique, it provides a decent lather and shaving experience.
