Undercover with wet shaving brand RazoRock
RazoRock is an artisan wet shaving brand known and loved by shavers worldwide. At Agent Shave we are heading undercover to Canada so we can get to know the people behind the wet shaving brand RazoRock & how their shave journey started....
Who is RazoRock?
The owners of RazoRock are Michael and Joseph, Uncle and Nephew - a family business. Mike & Joseph have primary residence in Toronto, Canada however spend a lot of time in Italy. When undercover we always want to know about breakfast.....My wife makes a really good avocado toast, that's probably my favourite breakfast; always with a very short espresso.
So, how did the name RazoRock come about? The first shave product was an alum aftershave stick, it was an alum "rock" used after shaving with a "razor", hence the name idea "RazoRock!" Now we have developed a great range of shaving soaps with matching splashes, safety razors and shaving brushes.
When & why did you start traditional wet shaving?
Traditional wet shaving started in 2008 when my wife bought me a Merkur 34C safety razor for Valentine's day. What started as a hobby and passion for resurrecting the lost art of wet shaving, quickly turned into business!
At RazoRock we work with many different artisans in Italy, USA and Canada. The shaving soaps are made by 3 different artisan shops. The youngest is 3 generations old.
What is your favourite RazoRock shaving soap?
Our favourite RazoRock shaving soap? That is a tough question, it really depends on my mood, the weather, where I am shaving, etc. If I was forced to pick one, possibly RazoRock Santa Maria del Fiore shaving soap, it's at Tabacco Toscano scent. I would love to make a true English pipe tobacco scent.
What is your secret to achieving the perfect lather from RazoRock shaving soaps?
The key is to load enough shaving soap. When people make a lather that is lacking, it's because they don't have enough shaving soap. Load with a shaving brush for 10-15 seconds longer than you think you should, then adjust the mix with droplets of water if necessary.
Coming soon to RazoRock....
As always we are excited when new RazoRock lines finally arrive in the UK. Coming in soon in January 2022 are scents RazoRock XX and RazoRock One X
We would like to Thank RazoRock for taking the time to let us into their world. RazoRock shaving soaps and aftershave splashes now available at Agent Shave!
