The Return of RazoRocktober!

[Neonknight]

A few weeks ago I have bought a long handled open comb RazoRock Jaws razor.
It is one of my favourites (the other favourite is my grandfathers Old Type).
It was really worth it's price, it's a beautiful peace, 1st class quality chrome.
It's got quite a big blade exposure maybe this is what makes it a "loud" razor. You can hear every single hair as it gets cut through.
It took me 2 or 3 shaves while I learned the good technique to use it without cuts and irritation.
It gives a very close shave. I have tried several blades in it (Astra, Lord, Derby, Shark, Rapira) and the best blades for me were Derby and Shark.
Maybe the Jaws would be a little too aggressive for those who are new for traditional shaving because it's not too "forgiving" so you have to learn the good technique to use it (good preparation, good angle, not pushing it hard etc...).

I really like my Jaws razor as well. I have found Crystals and Gillette Blacks to be wonderful in it.

Hey RazoRockers!

Joe at IB posted an amazing announcement in his vendor thread this morning that's directed at guys like us! A Limited Edition run of 100 brushes just for RazoRock fans called the Amici. This is exciting news! I have my reservation in already!

Here's a link to the post with instructions how to make a reservation for your RazoRock Amici Brush:

And lets keep this thread up high on the list and getting more guys joining us for a great RazoRocktober!

This is awesome. I would really like to get in on this but I'm in the sabbatical until Christmas. Hmmmmm, decisions, decisions...

Yup. Thankfully, I put down an exception in my full year Sabbatical for just this kinda thing. When it comes out, I'll consider that exception used up. In your case, Patrick, you made a solid long run in the 2013, live a little! You deserve it! No need to jump back on the wagon immediately

I hear you there...It sounds pretty cool. I wonder if that brush will claim a few restraining gentlemen as victims?

 

[SocalRick]

Here's what I have, and what I'll be using:

R-160
S. Maria
Nervous Wreck
Don Marco
Mudder Focker
Problem Solver After Shave

I'll be rotating them all month! Can't wait!!

 

[marine-mp]

I'm on it like white on rice!!!
FRESCO soap
R-160 Balm
Razorockin' da house!!!!

 

[chgruver]

I have the Fresco soap and just ordered the Classic soap and a block of RazoRock Alum.

 

[wheelhouse]

You should have announced this before the Gentlemanly Restraint until Christmas. I will still be in, but just barely. Since I cant make any purchases, I will have to use my sole RR product, the alum block. Luckily, its something I use everyday any way. I will be participating in Tabactober as well, for at least most of it, not sure if I'll be able to do the Tabac every single day.

 

[Lather]

RR alum, KOTC Lime, Mudder Focker and Zi' Peppino is ready for RazoRoctober.

 

[fireMedic1343]

I sign up to be a RazoRocker for RazoRocktober and 2013 Insane Sabbaticalian!

It will be easy with my SLAB handle. I love that thing. I also use the RR lime pre-shave oil on the areas that require precision. I can't see when there's a bunch of shaving soap blocking my view.

 

[CyberJCM]

Hey firemedic! Stoked to have you along, brother! Can't wait to hear more about that SLAB and how you like it on the R41 you mentioned. Just to clarify though, we're just RazoRocktober in this thread. The Insane Sabbaticalian part is a separate thing going on here at B&B this year, but I personally happen to be involved in both, so my sig line reads that way. Its a crazy thing where guys pledge to take the whole year off from buying anything shave related. Teach us guys a little restraint lol. We're well into it now and not taking new entrants, but if you like the idea and want to play along, you certainly can, or join the Restraint Till Christmas thread which is starting now I think.

To the rest of you guys who are joining RazoRocktober as of today, welcome aboard and you guys ROCK!

 

[SoundBrewer]

You can definitely count me in. In my short time shaving with a DE and brush, no brand has caught my attention more than RazoRock. The products are great quality and the prices are affordable for a dad raising two young boys (I hope to get them both wet shaving when they're ready -- I already let them lather up with a brush when they ask to be like daddy ).
I use my SLAB every shave. It will be joined by at least one of the following software items during each shave of RazoRocktober:
- XX Artisan Shave Soap
- KOC Lime HARD Shaving Soap
- Chianti Lavendar Shaving Soap
- 888 Karite Shaving Soap
- "Problem Solver" Aftershave Splash

Maybe I'll use my IB LE Semogue too, just to keep with the spirit of the event.

 

[dieselfuel79]

I polished off my tub of Fresco, which right now is my all time favourite RR soap. I still use the lime pre-shave soap daily, with my RR alum stick and occasionally my RR Jaws OC.

I just placed an order for some more Fresco, and I'm going to give the XX a whirl too.

 

[spaceboy2001]

I will also be joining in on the RazoRock fun.

 

[Taborcarn]

Well I'm not done with my current cream for 3017, but I'll still be in with the RR alum at least to start.
