Gold
Razorock
Razorock was founded in Canada by Joseph Abbatangelo, who in 2009 enlisted his uncle, Michael Luorio, to take a trip to Tuscany in search of alum stones for Joseph's father-in-law, a retired Italian barber. After falling in love with all things Wet Shaving, they launched the Razorock brand which has grown into a complete product line spanning soaps, aftershaves, razors, and accessories. The brand is known for quality at an affordable price, with many of its products sourced from local Italian artisans. One early partnership was with the Tcheon Fung Sin Soap Company, founded by a Chinese immigrant to Italy in 1945, which produces many of its soaps and aftershaves.
Scent Description
Gold is a near facsimile of Paco Rabanne's 1 Million, one of the signature young man's playtime scents of the 2010s. Cinnamon, amber, leather and mandarin, combine in a bawdy, sweet and spicy scent, which is young, frisky and luxurious. A hint of grapefruit and Mandarin orange adds the roundness and color which many of its contemporaries such as Aventus, YSL Y, Terre d'Hermes, and Eros also achieve by experimenting with new types of fruits such as pineapple, green apple, orange, and grapefruit. Gold is spicier than its peers, but equally as alluring. A beautiful and masculine scent which might be a little too provocative for the office, but appropriate almost everywhere else, and perfect for an active date night.

Base Description
Razorock's Super Vegan Formula performs similarly to the Super Tallow Formula in that both produce a buoyant and structured lather which ShaveSplash characterizes as Structured. The lather provides excellent Cushion with Medium-High Density, strong stability, and good slickness. Due to the quality ingredients which include Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Aloe, the post-shave feel is also excellent. With such reasonable pricing, Razorock's are one of the best values in wet shaving.
