    Default RazoRock New Classic Already a "Classic"

    RazoRock is changing their soap line somewhat. They are going to 100% Artisan soaps. One of the first changes was with the Classic. The new Classic is still a traditional Italian marzipan/almond croap, but is now made by a small batch Italian artisan instead of the original mass produced version. As expected, after loading my damp brush for 20 seconds (probably 5-10 seconds too many), I quickly got enough great slick, thick, cushioning lather for a 3+ pass shave. The only problem with the marzipan scented soaps is that they make me yearn for an Almond Croissant!

    Ingredients: stearic acid, water, coconut oil, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, fragrance

    FYI-As of today, July 26, 2014, Joe at The Italian Barber still has the new Artisan Classic on his ebay page at the introductory price of $3.99! I will be putting back a couple more tubs……

    Thanks for the update, I guess it's time for me to add some more soap to my arsenal.
    Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???

    Good to know! I'm almost out of my RazoRock for Captain's choice Bay Rum (good stuff).

    Well, I just found me a new mission - to get one of those Flying Cloud aftershave decanters! That is awesome!

    I had my 2nd shave with the new RR Artisan Classic and used a different brush. Quick, easy, thick, cushioning lather again. Of course, the Slim and GSB continue to hold up their end too. Nice smooth, close, nick free shave. They got it right.

    I did my 3rd shave yesterday with the new Classic. Outstanding as expected.

    I followed the RR Classic with Cella today to compare them. Most people would not pass a “Blind Shave Test” between the two. The RR Classic is a bit softer than Cella. They both produce very similar top quality thick, cushioning lather. The Red Tip and Platinum certainly did their part again. Great smooth, close, nick free shave.
