Hi Helveticum.Helveticum said:Spanish shave today! (well, at least software wise)
Cold shower
Vitos pre/post
LEA shave stick
Muhle synthetic silvertip
Merkur 37c w/Astra
Alum
Myrsol agua de Limon
La Toja ASB
I'm underwhelmed by the LEA stick despite all of the high praise - it doesn't match my German soaps (Speick, Tabac), far from it.
On a positive side though, I really liked Myrsol - nice and fresh lemon scent, decent skin conditioning and a great menthol kick (more potent than Proraso, I'd say). La Toja is just a workhorse - decent ASB, but nothing to write home about.
And how was the shave? DFS, I'd say. LEA didn't give enough protection to do a proper BBS.
There are two versions of the LEA stick: The older without tallow and the most recent with tallow and Lanolin. Maybe you have the old version because I heard that the protection of the new soap is great.
If you like to know more about it use the following link (using the Google translator if you don't speak spanish, of course) to read a review at the spanish forum afeitadoclasico.com: http://www.afeitadoclasico.com/foro/jabones-y-cremas/revision-barrita-lea-con-lanolina-t11459.html
You can see the shape and the Ingredients list in the pics to compare with your soap.
