All American shave with Barrister & Mann, Carbon Razor and one of my own handles made with American Walnut.1st Christmas themed shave with Dickens which is a superb scent so warming and makes a fantastic lather easily whipped up with one of my own brushes and the Carbon with the ++ plate and a Nacet gave a dam fine shave gliding through 3 days growth on a 2 pass shave with and against the grain, no knicks no irritation just smooth. Finished of with Dickens splash...must get the balm now from Slickboys.

Razor - Yaqi Scalloped Head
Blade - Supermax BD Platinum (16)
Post - Benjamins Bay Rum

First time using the La Toja stick and I palm lathered a bit to see if I had allergy to it and it seemed fine but putting it to neck (only shaving beneath the jaw) and even around half the area of skin I shaved doesn't feel great. I'm not sure if it is an allergy to it or if it is down to the soap containing mineral salts, but I didn't have any reaction with it when I palm lathered. It's a great lather though, smells fantastic. I will give it another go to see if I have a bit more success with the next time.
