Listen to David (dfoulk). He knows what he's talking about! [emoji3]
I've tried it on a couple of occasions -- bought it, used it, traded it away, traded for another, used it...
I've not found XXX to be a great performer. I really wanted to love it, because others seem to, but I didn't find it to have the slickness that I prefer, and it didn't create the cushiony, creamy lather that I expected. It may have been user error; many love it, so there must be something there that I missed.
For the price, I'd lean toward Stirling.
Purchased two tubs of Razorock XXX based upon the high marks it gets from readers here. Well, much to my disappointment, I personally found the product to be....well....a bit underwhelming; at best. Used it a few times, wanting to like it, but found that it was about as boring as watching paint dry. Have an unused brand new tub if anyone wants it along with one that's about 97% used. To me, grossly overrated.Hi all,
I'm considering picking up a tub of Razorock XXX because I've heard such great things about it. That being said, I'd like to compare it to soaps that I've already used. In terms of face feel and protectiveness, how would you rate it against Mike's? As for slickness, how would it stack up against Stirling?
Thanks for the help,
Porter
You have to make sure you get the se w/tallow ones as they are far superior to the regular formula.

Yep, it's the SE w/ tallow! I thought that if my Dad didn't really get into it and only ever used that soap, then at least it would be a really good one. That, and I'll be able to sneak a couple shave in as well.
I ended up going with another option, I chose Catie's Bubbles instead. It's a lot more expensive, especially since I'm North of the 49, but $/ounce are similar and I've heard really good things about the performance. Of course, to each their own, but I'm looking forward to using CB as it comes in, and maybe XXX one day.
