Mine is La Toja Smile What`s yours and why?
Lolita Haze: Do you always have to shave twice a day?
Humbert Humbert: Yes, of course, because all the best people shave twice a day (from the film Lolita (1962))

Tabac. Because it's Tabac.

I really enjoy all my shaving sticks, which so far are:  LEA, Speick, Palmolive, and La Toja; but if forced to choose, La Toja would be my #1.  I love Tabac, but haven't gotten a stick yet.....my grand plan is to head back to Europe and fill many, many suitcases with soaps, creams and sticks.  Big Grin

I, too, enjoy sticks. Arko is my favorite. I made it myself.

Tied between Arko  and La Toja. Cheap, mildly scented.

Aaahhh!!! I totally forgot about Arko -- and during Arko August!!!! I can't believe it. Oh well, I like Arko...A LOT, it's a great performer, but I must confess that I much prefer the scent of all my others over Arko.

I only have Palmolive and La Toja in a stick and enjoy them both. I reach for the La Toja more out of the two lately. However it would be hard for me to call it a favorite with my current cross comparison.

I've tried a few, and this one turned out to be the keeper: Valobra Hard Shaving Stick. It has a nice, musky scent and lathers commendably.

I hear about Valobra, but sadly seems discontinued now..
