Plague Doctor
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
Plague Doctor is a unique fragrance from Razorock and therefore very special. The inspiration comes from 17th century Venice when Plague Doctors walked the street with incense burners spreading smoke to protect the inhabitants from bad air. The recipe is a mixture of White Musk, Herbs, and Spices with the scent notes listed as Peony, Musk, Vetiver, White Cedar and Patchouli. The overall effect is a bouquet which is light and sweet, with an undertone of musk, which in some ways shares similarities with Floid the Original, although slightly less fruity. The scent strength is mild and due to its light presence is suitable in almost any setting.

Base Description
Like the Plague Doctor fragrance, the base itself is also somewhat unique in that the formula is simple with only 8 listed ingredients, mainly Coconut Oil and Lanolin. Like other Razorock soaps the lather is more structured, putting it in the Structured category. However, due to the lack of Glycerin, slickness is average, while density and cushion are high enough for good protection and comfort.
