    Default RazoRock 888 Karite Soap

    So I got some RazoRock Artisan Karite 888 Eucalyptus today. Very excited and had an excellently close shave.

    The lather was so rich and creamy and quite firm, it hardly took any of the soap to make nearly a bathtub full of lather. My goodness it was great.

    I chose the eucalyptus because as an Aussie I love our native trees, and secretly take pleasure that they have taken over parts of the USA like California. Perhaps that's wrong of me but... Well you know...

    Anyway, the only problem I have with this Eucalyptus soap is the lack of Eucalyptus. There is hardly any detectable scent of it but it is an amazing soap. Is it just me like an addict that needs more than a normal person or has anyone else noticed this too?

    RR is great stuff, though mine in a bay rum scent doesn't smell very strongly either. Maybe your native koalas ate up all the eucalyptus leaves.

    So. Where is the best selection/price on RazoRock products these days?

    Got mine from italianbarber. Good selection and seemed like reasonable prices and shipping.

    I have the razor rock classic cream soap, it is real good too,
    It is a soft soap but not a cream, are the others like this also?

    I have the Classic, Fresco, XXX. All oldies. Have been noting some more varieties! A friend gave me some grated/pressed limited edition about 3 years back. MAN! is it good!

    I don't pretend to have an Aussie-like nose for Eucalyptus, but Mike's is probably my favorite for scent and performance, followed closely by Strop Shoppe and RazoRock. All three are great performing soaps, with terrific moisturizing properties.
