I have owned in shave sticks, TOBS, Tabac, Palmolive, DR Harris (multiple flavors), Speick, Vintage Rose Scented Williams........ a few others............. La Toja is head and shoulders above them all.
+1. I also have over 50 sticks of Arko because in terms of performance, it is hard to beat IMO. Tabac might perform slightly better, but for value Arko is King.
So far my favorite has been Arko. I do have to new sticks on the way a Derby adn a La Toja. I hope I like them both. I have been on a cream kick for a couple of months but its time to dable in the soap areana again.
