Greetings,

Maiden shave with the la toja shave stick, another item i've had in my den for a long time which i've only got round to trying out.The verdict?... I recently done a maiden shave with the Lea shave stick which performed wonderfully, the la toja stick today like the Lea stick, the lather, slickness & post shave feeling was surprisingly good , i can't believe i haven't used this wonderful spanish sinorita more often...Shame on me..I really like the fragrance of the this shave stick, it's got a fresh clean fragrance, which to my nose reminds me of dove soap with a masculine edge to it's fragrance..I may treat myself to the matching aftershave spalsh,as another xmas pressie..Excellent soap, with a superb fragrance.

The indian razor & blade duo, the Gillette w.s. blades are a real wonderfully smooth sharp blade, after it's third use it still showed no signs of dulling, still performing with efficient smoothness.

A effortless sublime 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co. ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

My face is feeling fresh super smooth, & smelling devine.

This FS brush is reported to have a new synthetic fibre. In use it had nice backbone and was very soft and with only a very small glue bump performed very similarly to my MÜHLE STF V1 brushes. The end result was a 'face feeling' finish with 2 passes and a little touch up:)
