Company: Arko
Product: Arko Shave
Stick
Today we take another look at shaving sticks. The one that
comes to mind we have seen in just about every shave of the day posting at a
few dozen times a year and that would be the Arko shaving stick. The packaging is unmistakably ARKO in its
iconic red wrapping. I received mine from a friend overseas along with some
other fantastic products to try. I kept picking it up but then pushing it to
the side because I didn't really enjoy the scent. I've avoided this product for
as long as I possibly could and now is the time for seeing what this little
stick is made of.
Since 1957 the Arko shaving stick hasn't changed much and
some say this is a good thing because they like the nostalgic look and feel of
the product. You have to peel away it's wrapping in order to use this product
which then leaves it exposed to the elements and there is no way of really
closing it back up. I'm ok with it but I see so much room for improvement on
that and having a redesign for the packaging could increase awareness which
leads to more sales.
