It seems to be fashionable to bash Toko on this group. But, I used
their HF Red, with Helx Cold and had fast skis.
I started with bib 4257 and finished about 750 so I had lots of
opportunities to compare glide as I passed people.

At worst my glide was comparable to others. In most cases (90%+) I had
better skis.

Wow, Ian seems to have a healthy imagination. I can't imagine
thinking a Blue/Red mix was "spot on" when the temps didn't even get
below 30 the night before! This seems to be a pretty optimistic view,
even for company propoganda ;-).

An extremely optimistic view is right. I was unable to ski the Birkie
this year, but I must of talked with at least 8 people who used the
Toko recommendation and were extremely dissapointed in the results. In
fact not one person said they had good skis with the Toko wax of the
day. Of course there are many other equipment factors to consider in
addition to the wax, but to say the recommendation was "spot on" I
find rather insulting, based on the feedback I had gotten.
