Results: I received my new RazoRock Limited Edition soft shave soap yesterday and took it out for a ride today. Paul (aka, Str8shooter) was right. This tallow-based soap is amazing and can hold her water quite well indeed. The Shavemac whipped up one heck of a creamy, shiny lather with lots of elasticity. Not to mention the obvious; great cushion and glide. The lovely almond scent for to die for (almost like Acca Kappa 1869). I am happy I got 3 (2 are in the fridge ) along with a XXX and Cacao scented one. I was not disappointed with the performance. Thanks for the tip Paul . Of course, this lather deserved nothing but one of the best razors to go with it...Hence the Frederick Reynolds. This blade was rescaled by Max some time ago in beautiful red G10. Her edge felt as if she was fresh off the stones. Sharp and smooth (just the way I like it) and no sound in her action mode. She may look like a bubbly blade with that red dress, but looks can be deceiving...She's quite stealthy and deadly serious and a force to reckon with. An EXTRAORDINARY shave to say the least . Everything in life should be as wonderful, every day.





I wish you a SPECTACULAR Tuesday guys .
