    YUP, no tallow, but performs as well as any tallow soap.

    Wow, that is a great discovery, Luis! Never seen a LaToja shave stick with tallow before.
    Is it better, performance-wise, from the veggie version that sells nowadays?

    Is this current production or old stock? Can you post a picture of the front of the tube? Does it look different from the regular La Toja shave stick?

    Not that old, it was after the Henkel buyout.

    Look at how yellow it is compared to the current stuff. Looks like it'd be even creamier than the current stuff, which is unreal for a veggie soap.

    Barca is playing a couple hours away and just went down 2-1 on a couple of fantastic goals by Chivas. Should have driven over to Miami...

    Thanks for your clarification about vintage ones. I would like to see tallow soap in its bowl.
