La Toja Stick: Revisited

[Bad Badger]

You can get a 3-pack of La Toja sticks for $13.99 shipped on Amazon. (That's over 5 oz total)

I’m traveling this weekend so will bring my stick along for it’s maiden voyage.
Unfortunately I’m going to have to use a shave club cartridge razor for the shave.

The scent changes when you lather it. I imagine someone has hung freshly washed clothes out to dry in the bright sunlight on a hill overlooking the sea.

I get the freshly washed clothes also. Nice fresh scent.

Probably the best scent description for La Toga, that’s it bang on.

Been shaving with it the last two days. On my quarterly drill makeup for the military and left my Cella at home. It performs nice, even when paired with a Fusion 5 cartridge razor.

How would you rate the Taylor of Old Bond Street stick in comparison to the La Toja or the Speick stick? I haven't used a shaving stick in a long long time but wanted to get one for travel.

If you want one of the English brands, I think DR Harris makes the best shave stick. Though, Harris is pretty expensive compared to La Toja or Speick.

I have the TOBS St. James stick and its performance is exemplary. It rolls on easy, smells amazing, and provides a super slick lather. La Toja and Speick are creamier and more moisturizing post-shave. The first time I used it I didn't load enough product and my second pass was barely visible. Didn't matter. I would classify the scent as a woodsy aquatic and definitely in the cologne territory. Very neutral post-shave feel as well, I plan to use it as my summer go-to when it gets hot and humid out. It's not drying though so you could use it whenever. Not cheap but worth it.

I grated a stick with a half puck of Tabac and made La Tobac, it's very, very nice!

Ooh, good idea. I think I will do that.

Just grate a stick or two into a wide Colt PETG jar from Maggard Razors. Et voilá.

It really is crazy how well it performs. Can easily hang with all my top-tier, high-dollar soaps.

+1! Yes indeed: great performance at any price IMO!
