La Toja shave stick!

[nathanb]

So I added a La Toja shave stick to my Semogue 830 order and I tried the La Toja for the first time this morning.

It was great!

Some nice lather with very little effort. I am kind of ambivalent about the smell of the lather while I was shaving but the smell that lingers afterwards was definitely nice.

What other shave sticks would you recommend? I have my eye on Speick but what else?

Irisch Moos, Tabac, Valobra and Palmolive are those that spring to my mind immediately.

 

[Topgumby]

La Toja is good stuff.

All you need is Speick my friend

+1 on La Toja smell! Awesome lather too!

 

[fidjit]

La Toja is about the only non-tallow soap I used. Originally bought as a travel stick because of it's useful container it still sees regular rotation

Irisch Moos, Tabac, Valobra and Palmolive are those that spring to my mind immediately.

I'll add Arko to that list.

I'll add Arko to that list.

... and SPEICK

La Toja stick was damn near tabac lather for me. Sadly, it irritated my skin.

Shave stick?

Irische Moos.

Wilkinson's Sword! Don't forget Big Blue.

Wilkinson Sword is a lanolin stick and is very nice - very underrated and hard to find
Tabac is....well tabac
Irisch Moos is really nice
Arko again another nice stick
La Toja I found to be very nice
Lea - got one but not tried it yet
Palmolive (tallow) - great stick performance but rubbish as a stick, far better grated into a bowl
QED (Bergamot) - Really distincive smell, fruity for something a little different

These are all the good ones I have tried but am sure there are more, DR Harris does a shave stick which is the same as the bowl soap. Of them all I love the Irisch Moos the most, Tabac with a different smell.

The La Toja stick is great-My wife just came back from a trip to Spain and brought me a bunch of them-Fantastic quality lather with very little effort and I really love the scent-I intended to use them only for travel but am finding I can't resist using them even at home!

La Toja burned my skin. Bummer.

Next stop for you is = SPEICK. Awesome stuff.

 

[Audiolab]

Not tried Speick but know of a few who have and it seems well received, the Valobra one seems to be a nice stick (again from what I have read).

Speick is my favorite shaving soap. hands down.

If you like la toja, I think you will like valobra, but you need work a bit more the lather. You can choose boots too. Try to get a hidrated lather with la toja stick, because la toja dry quickly.

 

[Hemlock]

Of the sticks I've tried, I like the La Toja best. Valobra is nice as well, maybe give that a shot.
