Mom picked up some La Toja stuff for me in Spain last week, not finding any shaving soap she bought some La Toja goo on can. At least I had to give it a try. The performance wasn't that bad really, quite good glide and cushion, but I just couldn't stand the industrial, synthetic scent, so after the first pass I whipped up some CF Lime lather instead, I have to say it performed a "tad" better...
This have been a week of GREAT shaves.
Books and Tom: Congrats!

Late Fri nite return home post
Timor 6/8-CF Lavender/GFT Violet Cream-25MM Silvertip Red Morell Burl-DB 1.5
It was so nice to be back home and hit the showers! The Timor did not quite "hit" for me. I think it needs a few more passes on the 16K followed by the CrOx on balsa but it was still a good shave. The GFT stays clumpy in the bottom of the scuttle.
Well Honey do's await me today but I wanted to get this posted and I will end this with a quick I missed you SOTD brothers and I'll be back tonight!

JM Schmid & Son 6/8
Men-U Boar Brush
Institue Karite
Booster Mosswood
Polo EDT
This was the first time I've used the JM Schmid in a few weeks. I had decided to re-finish the blade somewhat using sandpaper and I'm rather pleased with the results. It wasn't a full restore, but more like a reconditioning. After finishing on Thursday, I re-honed it last night and shaved with it this morning! Great shave and the Booster Mosswood and Polo complement each other nicely.
