    Default why is everyone selling their RR soaps?

    I've been picking up some great deals on B/S/T on the Razorock soaps. My question is ... why is everone selling them? The ones's I bought have not even been used.

    No, not the scents, they actually smell awesome. My RR cacao underperforms for me. I'm actually going to give it one more try before I put it up for sale but I think it's a goner from my den as I have way better performing products, both less and more expensive than RR cacao.

    I know that I just ordered a bunch of scents only planning on keeping my favorite. I've seen a lot of BST posts that suggest that other people are doing the same thing.

    I don't know but I've noticed the same thing. Seems strange to me to sell something you've never used but my guess is because they are inexpensive, some folks will buy several types just to smell and figure they can turn them around easy for not much loss on the BST....

    Two reasons someone would sell RazoRock soaps...

    1) Don't like the scent.
    2) Have too many already.

    The end.

    I find the scents, particularly the sandlewoods, a bit too overpowering for me.

    Yea, Joes price points are so reasonable, and his products so (deservingly) popular, its no big deal to grab them all when he makes new releases knowing that some will likely not agree with your nose. And I really do think it comes down to the nose, because any true Razorock fan knows that they all perform great.

    Better cover my butt and say I'm just a satisfied customer who's purchased every ounce of RR I've ever used.

    This!


    I was probably one of them you are referring too. I just sold 2 lots about 8 soaps total, maybe 7. Main reason was because the scents were either to close to another one I had, and I have about 12 total soaps. That was just way to many plus if I could lose a few that I know I will not use again to try some other brands I was willing to do that. RR soaps are great soaps. I have no complaints, just some of the scents were not what I was really looking for when I have 3-4 others that are right on point with what I was looking for.

    At the price point that Joe provides for his products I was not going to lose much if I couldn't sell them, but if I could help someone out by selling to them then I would. If not I would give them to friends or PIF them out.

    Not to mention the 3 or 4 or I did keep, plus MWF, Tabac, Tabac stick for travel, Dr. H., Palmolive stick, Vitos, Volabra, CO Bigelow, and the 4 soaps and 2 creams I just ordered.

    What?!

    Edit: oh and Cella, P 160, Irish Moos, yeah you get the point... am I forgetting any I need to try?

    Number one I understand but the second confuses me. I know the words are English but I don't understand this too many thing.
    If somethings important you'll find a way, if not you'll find an excuse.

    They are awesome soaps, and they are so cheap, people often buy all the scents to see what they like. I did that when the LaFamiglia line came out. I stuck with the Don Marco and traded the rest away. I think that's the only reason.

    If MdC came out with 6 scents nobody would buy all six to see what they liked! Well maybe they would because you can move the rest on the BST. But I think the quality and value point of RR makes it common for folks to buy them all to try. Why not?

    I notice a lot of the scents seem to overlap with TFS... are they related somehow?

    Ah, then yes, it's good stuff. TFS will probably the next soap I'm buying, though I'm planning on getting their hard soap.

    Do it! The hard soaps are amazing. Can't wait until the next batch of scents comes out...

    I just bought 7 or so RR soaps and the only one that is getting bst'd is the Nervous Wreck. I just don't like the vetiver scent.

    As I stated in a recent post, between RR and mikes, I am covered and really not interested in my other stuff.

    +1. I bought a whole bunch of different scents when the most recent round of RazoRock soaps came out. I like the Moroccan Secret the best and will be selling the others soon.
