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
XXX is Razorock's take on the Italian classic Acqua di Parma Colonia, first introduced in 1916, and later popularized by celebrities such as Cary Grant, David Niven, Ava Gardner, and Audrey Hepburn. Whereas the original is intensely citrusy, almost industrial, XXX mellowed by lilac, rose, and orange blossom, which adds a sweetness and complexity lacking in the original, making it more wearable and similar to a modern cologne. For an updated Chypre with strong Italian roots and a pedigree of elegance and glamor, XXX is a fabulous choice, most suited to warmer months and daytime playtime.

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.
