Irish Countryside
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
Irish Countryside is Razorock's interpretation of Green Irish Tweed by Creed. The fragrance was commissioned from a French perfumery and claims to be a near exact reproduction of the original. The legend goes that Green Irish Tweed was created for Cary Grant in 1985, who although he may not have worn it, embodied the image of debonair and sophisticated gentleman. Its signature accord is its lush greenness, which evokes sun-dappled meadows and rolling hills, like those found in the Irish countryside. The fragrance is citrusy and minty, with soft tones of green melon, surrounded by powdery notes of lavender, violet and geranium. It truly is a classic scent for a modern gentleman, which is both sporty and sophisticated. It can be worn for any occasion, although its more proper and formal than it is seductive.

Base Description
Razorock's Super Tallow performs similarly to the Super Vegan 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.
