Folks
I have been away from home for a month on or in planes, trains and automobiles.
As a bloke who likes his daily shave, I had to prune my shaving paraphernalia because of weight restrictions. I did a lot of research before leaving, practising with various combinations of soap and brush. I fixed upon La Toja shaving stick as my soap for the road ahead, accompanied by an Edwin Jagger Synthetic brush.
I normally bowl lather with TOBS creams or Stuga or Cooper and French soaps. Face lathering was, and remains, alien to me.
The lather I produced during the trip was passable but by no means as luxurious as I would normally expect from my go to lot. Fair enough. Sacrifices need to be made when on the road.
But, here is the point of my post. Attached is a photo of my shaving stick after I returned, compared to a new stick. Both are the old formula still available in Australia. Is this a normal reduction in soap size? It would seem that a stick would last about 3-4 months normally at that rate.
The collective wisdom of the B&B would be appreciated.
Cheers
Wal
