It's a RazoRock morning!

**elsmooth** · 07-10-2012, 06:31 AM

Yesterday I received my package of the new RazoRock goodies (5 new soaps from the Artisan line, the new S. Maria cream, the Baby Blue a/s splash, and the lime pre-shave soap). In honor of the receipt of the box, I tried 3 new products this morning...the pre-shave Lime, the S. Maria, and the Baby Blue. What a shave! I'm not usually a cream man, but I'm a RazoRock fan, so it was easy to add that one to my order. It's a keeper, for sure. Great scent (similar to the 888, to my nose), good glide, and exceptional cushion. Tomorrow I'll probably add a little more water to see if I can thin it out a hair for some added slickness. I'll probably stick with this setup for the rest of the week to really dial in everything.

The collection grows, and the growth is good!

Have a great shave, ladies and gents!

And can you compare/contrast to Floid Blue?

Love it. It's a powdery citrus, it's got good burn, and great skin feel after application. It's more complex scented than I was anticipating, so that's a nice surprise. The powdery scent is fairly subdued after applying, which is great for me because powder tends to give me a headache (I had to PIF my Clubman due to that).

I can't keep up with the extremely rapid rate of new RR products, but I did enjoy a shave with the La Famiglia line (Cumba Cheech scent) this morning.

I really need to quit jumping on everything released, I just can't help myself. Thankfully, I'm a man with no other real vices (plus no kids or pets), so if my biggest discretionary expenditure is shaving stuff that will eventually get used in the course of my life, eh...might as enjoy the ride.

Hearing about all of you guys getting your RazoRock stuff is killing me!! I ordered all of the new soaps on 7/5. They shipped that day (great service, Joe), but the tracking information shows they have been sitting in MISSISSAUGA since 7/6 and haven't moved since then. I keep checking status several times a day anticipating that it is getting closer to delivery, but no!

Does the SMN cream smell similar to proraso?

Not to my nose. It's very close to the RazoRock 888. I can't think of a more common product to which to compare it.

I think that's probably the customs center. You might not get anymore details and just find it in your mailbox one day. It's much less information when you try to track an international package.

Yes, you are right. I got the package today! I'm so excited to try them out later this evening!

Another thing some over look is putting the tracking number in USPS after it crosses the border. Not saying that is what he did but I was not aware of that until someone told me on another forum.

I just got a text from my wife that my order had arrived, can't wait to get home and check it out

You guys are in for some treats, let me tell you!

I think I read this in another thread, but does anyone know if this is the same soap base as the original Artisan (the ones in the double walled tubs), just different soaps?

These new soaps (minus the LE and the SMN cream) are the same base as the LOA artisan soaps, just with different scents.
