I am finishing a tube of a Portuguese cream called Rio Sul. I thought I was heading for a puck of Cade next, but after pulling out the canned foam version of La Toja, I realized how much I miss the scent. La Toja stick up next!
Very good soap, hard to go wrong, you should definitely try it. Scent for me is "fresh laundry hanging on the line overlooking the sea."

The lather it produces is fantastic.
It stings my face just a bit, so I stopped using it for that reason, but if it wasn't for that, I'd always have it on hand.
Henkel AG is a German company that bought out the company making La Toja. I understand they moved production of the soap to Eastern Europe (Slovakia or Poland). The mineral salts get shipped from Spain to the factory.I really like La Toja in the stick form. However, I was just reading in the Spanish blog, which is linked earlier in this thread, that La Toja was purchased by a German company and the soap production was moved to China...
The cream is in rotation at home too; I use it at least every couple weeks, and most every week to be honest.
I buy the cream from Italian Barber when I am ordering other stuff. Last time I got it for $8 tube, and I got three of them. Much better pricing than Amazon, etc.
