Arko in puck form

I decided to demote that puck of Altesse to expensive bath bar duty. I made a stick of Arko into a puck quite simply by interlacing my fingers and then squeezing the stick into a mash, between my palms, and then forming a round by slamming it with one hand into the other palm. This interlace and squeeze thing is the way my father taught me crack walnuts without a nut cracker. You use 2 walnuts, one against the other, both between the meaty base of your thumbs and then squeeze.
The Arko, as good a soap as it is, doesn't offer a lot of moisturizer. If you have dry skin and follow up the Arko with an alcohol splash, over time this might be drying.
