I had a sample of that one. I liked the soap, just wasn't wild about the scent. I looked at their site to possibly order something, but none of their scents grabbed me.

Great shave Chris! I have almost pulled the trigger on that soap but haven't. Starting to think that maybe I should.
Thanks, Dave. Much appreciated.
Thanks, Walt.
Thanks, Josh. And roger that!
Understandable. But so far, I've liked the ones I've used.
It's good stuff, and you'd swear it was a tallow soap, but it's not. I'd say it's one of the best vegan soaps I've used.
Can't argue with that!
Thanks, Chris.
Tuesday's shave:
One word:
"IN...JEC...TOR"!
Here's the set up:
Yessiree! 2-passes for a totally irritation-free, fantastic DFS result. 'Nuff said about that.
Instead of a soap this morning, I decided to mix things up a bit and went with a shaving cream. I don't use shaving creams often, but I do enjoy them, and this La Toja is most excellent. I totally dig the scent of La Toja, but the shaving stick and the regular shaving cream tend to not agree with my ole mug; however, this sensitive skin version is perfect for me, and it still retains the same clean, fresh scent of La Toja.
Finished up with the La Toja aftershave spash, which fortunately, agrees with my ole mug also. This is definitely one of the best splashes around. It's totally "glug-worthy" (a nod to Don's coinage), especially during summertime. Awesome! A perfect start to the day.

Excellent shave today Chris! I haven't used a cream in quite some time. But I plan to use some that TJ gave me after I finish up a couple of reviews. Thanks for taking a full on "glug" or two of the aftershave!

Nice shave Chris. I too haven't used a cream in ages. Have a new tube of Bigelow's around I should use.
Thanks, Don...Which shaving cream did TJ give you?....And thanks for coining the term, "glug"! I've always been the same way with a/s splashes. If it isn't running down your arms, then you didn't use enough!
Thanks, Dave. And Bigelow's is good stuff - especially during this hot weather.
Thanks, Chad. Hope the travels become less eventful.
Thanks, Doug.
Roger that, Chris. And yes, I think the a/s scent is the same as the soap.
Thanks, Josh. And roger that!
Wednesday's shave:
Okie Dokie, a quick entry due to the fact that I've got to head to work in a few.
Here was the set up:
The ShaverJoe w/Game Changer synthetic whipped up an outstanding lather for the U.S. Aristocrat (W1) w/Persona Red. Two passes and some cleanup and I'm out the door with an excellent DFS(+); actually, I'm going to call it BBS(-); yep, that's what I'm going to call it.
The Sir Irisch Moos served me well today. Magnificent!
I'll be reading everyone's posts, but I may be reticent on commenting on each one. But I'll get caught up eventually.

TOBS Lemon and Lime.
Nice shaves and pics.
I hadn't used a cream in years until my son gifted me a tub of AoS lemon cream for Father's day. As you may know, I've been using it once a week (every Sunday morning) since.
I still much prefer soaps, though, and when this cream is gone, it will not be replaced.

If you were going to replace it AoS makes the best cream on the market in my opinion. Followed by Stone Cottage and Proraso Single Blade line
Hilarious, Chad! One of the funniest lines I've heard!!
Roger that.
Thanks, Randall. And roger that.
I can't argue with that. As a matter of fact, I need to replenish my AoS Sandalwood cream.
