EDIT:  I have the stick too.  (Forgot about that at 0-dark 30). Did the La Toja in the photo begin life as a stick?


Hi

I squeezed an entire tube of the cream into this container. You can buy this container from Maggards for $3 each. They are very high quality and made in the USA.
Thanks.  As it happens, I have bought the containers from Maggard,  in 2017, and the La Toja cream too.  The  jars (6 oz PETG) were the same price back then - three bucks - and as you describe, they are very high quality.

Razor: Yates w/ Hybrid plate and RR Prototype Halo Handle
Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts 30mm
Soap: Hub City Friday Night Lights
Aftershave: Floid Black
Blade: Personna Med Prep

Great shave this morning. The Yates continues to impress me. Can’t wait to see what this awesome new company comes up with next.

The Dogwood brush with monster 30mm SHD knot is always a pleasure to use.

Have a great day everyone and please stay safe out there.

I agree with Dave about the killer picture - very nice!

Moving along, I am embarrassed, and getting either too old, too careless, or both.  I follow four shaving blogs - Dave's, Fluffy's, Milk Crate's, and this one.  Earlier today I posted the following in Fluffy's blog:

Posted my 
first shave with Hub City this morning, and I'm very impressed.  Thanks for the heads-up Stubble Daddy.  That was a full jar.  I'm glad I got the samples, and I'll work on them later this week.


I do not regret posting it in Fluffy's blog, but truth be told, I intended to post it here.  There is of course, a simple explanation:  I screwed up.  So mea culpa, and thanks again Paul.

It’s a Stainless Razorock Halo (prototype?) from about 6 or 7 years ago. Wish they still offered it. It’s my favorite handle. It has a tumbled finish that matches up nicely with the Yates.

No worries, I saw your other post earlier and knew what you meant!

I think you guys will really like the Hub City stuff.
