I am sure this has been addressed before, but I'm curious what is everyone's pick between these two. I like the price and reviews of Palmolive but I like the plastic container of La Toja. As far as shaves go, what's the best?
La toja vs Palmolive Shave Sticks

La Toja is a little thicker and protective,but I enjoy Palmolive as well.
I really enjoy both, but I give the nod to Palmolive.
Now that's a toughie... I think I prefer the scent from La Toja, but the performance of Palmolive is slick, protective & great to your skin. Hmmmm
Palmolive just gets my vote.

I tried palmolive a few years back when the "good kind" started being available over here. Found it to be not quite as good as arko, and La Toja is significantly better than arko. I'd be curious to try it again to see if time has changed my opinion of it, but not curious enough to go to the trouble of getting some.

Any way to make the Palmolive stick a little more travel friendly? Ie case?
Get one of a kind: Arko, La Toja and Palmolive. You won't regret and it won't hurt your pocket

Nice! Where did you get those at?
I often have trouble deciding between the two myself.
The scent of La toja is more appealing to me where the moisture factore of Palmolive is a little better. Maybe La Toja by a whisker hair.

They don't show up around here (b/s/t) to often, but you can find them on the bay - they are called shave stick tubes/containers/tins/dinguses and people ask anywhere from $3 to $250* for them. I try to stay under $10 myself.

Lol $250 is insane. Westcoastshaving has a clear plastic one for like 2 bucks. I'm intrigued

Just ordered a couple of Palmolive sticks and some Razorock San Valentino from Italian Barber. I can't wait to try them.
I own both and use Palmolive a lot more. I like La Toja but it is a much harder soap. I feel it performs better for me if I have a bit more stubble to catch on. Again, try them both and see what suits you. You'll enjoy both.
Performance, pretty much a tie. Scent, La Toja all the way.
A #60 Rx bottle for free from my local pharmacy is an even better deal than the $2 WCS offering. Oh, LaToja is a much better stick than Palmolive (I think).
La Toja.
I like that La Toja has the plastic thingy so that's what goes in my Dopp kit for travel. Both shave a treat. Palmolive has better post shave face feel but not by much. Both hang with soaps costing many many times their price. I don't have a favorite so I have both. Every business trip I go on I get out La Toja, Palmolive and Speick to decide. La Toja always ends up the pick just due to the plastic case thing.
Actually my two favourite shave sticks. Both produce an amazing lather and deliver a super comfortable shave. If I had to choose between Palmolive and La Toja I'm probably going to flip a coin...
