That La Toja manantiales soap is already a rarity. Enjoy yours as it looks like it has been discontinued .

Yeah, it is a shame that it's no longer available but I have found the performance to be very similar to the stick. I really like the looks of the Manantiales container, but it's not very user friendly when it comes to loading the brush.

It isn't the first time I hear that it performs similar to the stick, but other guys said it performed much better. I would have loved to have my own opinion. I have used the stick a lot of times, but as the mineral salts gave me some itches sometimes, I ended up using the Lea stick as my travel soap, and scent aside, I like it better.

A long story about the Fromm razor... My Mother-in-Law passed a year ago January. While going through her things, this razor appeared, having belonged to my Father-in-Law, who passed fifteen years earlier. I never knew he had it... due to genetics, he never had much beard to shave, but we got along famously, and he was a good friend to me. Purely by chance, it turned out to be a great shaver.
In any case, this iteration of it's edge is off my storied SALM coticule. This razor will appear in the future for the time being, as I conduct more experiments with different coticules...

A nice shave ...
