I've just used La Toja stick today, after a long time. It's so MAGNIFICENT and SUPERIOR that I'm now asking myself why I continue using other soaps...
Marco, you were posting about Ach. Brito Magno soap recently. How would you compare Magno with La Toja?I've just used La Toja stick today, after a long time. It's so MAGNIFICENT and SUPERIOR that I'm now asking myself why I continue using other soaps...

These are the 2 finest low-budget hard soaps I have in my den. Shape (stick Vs puck), scent and ingredients are different. But each, in its own way, is MARVELLOUS. I hope this answers you question, Sir.
I would be really interested in this comparison. These soaps are on my list for the future.By the way, I think a very interesting comparison would be between Mogno and Musgo Real. Both are made by the same manufacturer (Ach. Brito) and both share a very similar ingredients list. But price-point is way different. Is it just because Ach. Brito needs to maintain Musgo Real and Claus Porto, its luxury brand, in another price range? I hope I can test the Musgo Real puck soon to answer this question properly.
Since La Toja contains mineral salts, you might not need the alum block for these shaves.Today I had one of the best shaved I’ve ever had. BBS shave, no cuts, weepers or irritation. As I ran the alum block over the face I had absolutely no sting.
Post shave was wonderful also. Face and head felt moisturized and smooth....

I’ve been waiting for La Toja to be back in stock from my preferred online supplier, eager to try it. Splurged on Musgo Oak Moss shaving cream, very nice, but also have Ach Brito Lavanda, equally great, half the price. Love the Mogno soap, interested in Musgo, but again double the price, for what I imagine will be an equal performer. I‘m content for now to hold off and enjoy the abundance of quality soaps/ creams I’m working through. It’s hard not to scratch that itch though.By the way, I think a very interesting comparison would be between Mogno and Musgo Real. Both are made by the same manufacturer (Ach.

Yes, but the real question is Brioni, Canali, or Isaia?
Sartoria Cardona when I want to go bespoke. Gutteridge for "everyday" attire. Velasca for Italian handmade shoes.
Got distracted hence the double post.....La Toja: for a shave so nice, you'll say it twice!
+1. The shave stick is greatThe La Toja soap stick is even better than the creams. For the creams, most people prefer the Classic over the Sensitive one.
