Hello gentlemen!
Let's start an international petition to Henkel (the company behind La Toja), in order for them to revert to one of the previous formulation of the shaving stick, since the last one, although good, it is not as good as it used to be. Another goal is to put some pressure on Henkel in order to make them bring back the good old Manantiales bowl ("cuenco de afeitar").
Well, what are the GFT samples doing there? As a matter of fact... nothing - it was the only photo that I had with both the stick and the Manantiales together!
I believe that this is a worthy cause, and definitely not a lost one - sometimes, even big companies listen to their customers and act.
Recently, the same has been done with Lascaray, producers of the LEA shaving stick, and they came up with a new formula of it, containing tallow and lanolin.
Another recent successful story was the recent comeback of Lavanda shaving cream, produced by Ach. Brito/Claus Porto, and reintroduced by public demand, mainly on Facebook.
Now we should do the same with La Toja and ask Henkel to improve the stick or revert back to one of its oldest formulations like these ones here:
- This one has tallow on it,as you can see:
And this one has a formulation almost like the Manantiales shaving soap:
And yes, before you ask "Why mess with a good thing? The current shaving stick is awesome!", let me tell you: the current La Toja soap is indeed a good product, but the former formulations (specially the tallow one) were MUCH better! They know how to make a really excellent tallow shave soap, with less ingredients and a greater perormance than the current one - they've already made it in the past, why don't they make it nowadays?
And please, request also for the La Toja Manantiales shaving soap on a wooden bowl to come back into production. This soap was perhaps La Toja's most prestigious product, but it was sadly discontinued about 7 months ago. It was made in Spain, a true Spanish product, while the current shaving stick is made in Slovakia.
So we can write something like this :
To whom may it concern :
I have been using your shaving stick for almost X time and I'm not happy with the actual shaving stick performance: its quality have been lowering, and it's not the same of what it used to be.
I would like to request that you can change the actual formulation/ingredients of the shaving stick or revert to one of the older formulations, with tallow.
Also I would like to kindly ask to bring the La Toja Manantiales shaving soap on a bowl ("cuenco de afeitar") back, since it was a brilliant shaving soap sold on an outstanding package, maybe your most prestigious product, and I was truly disappointed when I discovered that is no longer made.
Kind Regards:
XXXXXXXX
Of course you can write whatever you want, this is just a suggestion (and please, excuse my English, it is not my first language)
This is the Henkel email to send this request: Formulario - Henkel
We already made Ach. Brito to bring back Lavanda shaving cream and LEA/BEA to make a new stick with tallow and lanolin. Lets make Henkel to make La Toja with tallow again! We need your help and this is something that would be beneficial for all.
Thanks a lot for your help, gentlemen!
