Shaved with this little Italian gem yesterday for the first time. I liked the scent from the tub and it's even nicer once you've lathered it and applied to your face. I will say that this scent lingers on my skin FAR longer than any other soap I own. I was still catching whiffs of it 9 hours later when I got off work. That's not a bad thing in my mind as I find the scent very nice. The lather, like every other RR argan oil soap I've used, is luxurious with little loading needed to make enough lather for multiple passes. I will definitely be keeping this one in stock.

I agree 99%, only exception is the "little loading" time. I always load more.

If I load for twenty seconds I have to wash lather down the sink after 3-4 passes. I have to load my Mike's soaps for much longer to produce a similar amount of lather.
RazoRock XX is one of the soaps in my rotation, I really enjoy it. I load 20-30 secs, then do a bowl or face lather. The matching balm is a good pair up too
Very true I also find the Balm is a nice lead up to some of my frags.
It's actually the only RR soap I own. I love it!!
Edit: I take that back.... I have a tub of Nervous Wreck as well.

Haha! You're welcome.
What is the scent like on XX? I want to try a Razorock soap with argan oil, but none of the other scents sound too appealing and I cannot find Son of Zeus.

I've tried to explain it several times and I can't put it into words. It's what is known as a very "complex" scent. According to Joe it smells like :
"Scent: This unbelievable fragrance presents itself with aromas which vividly present landscapes of Italy and breezes of the Mediterranean in our imagination. The scent of this artisan made shaving soap accentuates your sensual side and regenerates your body and soul with aromas of myrtle, along with citruses, Calabrian lemon and sweet, passionate orange, with the calming effect of basil. At the heart of this complex scent you are taken with the aromas of jasmine, rose and green lilac, which meet mediterranean breezes and black currant leaves. Some of the base notes include precious wood, juniper, cedar and warm amber. This complex scent is one of our personal favourites."
That being said, I have several argan oil soaps and all of the smells are nice. This is the only one that stays on my skin all day though San Valentino will hang around for a while as well.

SoO how does the XX compare to XXX? I think the XXX will be available again late this month and I am ready to order.
I can't wait to find out myself. I'll be ordering a tub as soon as they are in.
I also have the RR XX in my rotation. Although here lately i've been stuck on MWF.
Just got a tub of XX from Italian Barber on Monday, two shaves in and I am loving it. Can't wait to try for some XXX at the end of the month.
You probably got the last one because it's out of stock
BTW, both XX and XXX will only be in stock mid-May according to an email I got from Joe today.
I agree Razorock is easy to load versus my barrister & mann soap (but i dont care i love the smell of those).
Been itching to try this. Guess this is my sign to pull the trigger.
The scent of XX is Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea. It's a fantastic performer with a great scent.
From Joe himself:
If I had to be stuck, I'd want it to be in Heaven too ;-)
