I enjoyed the "Acqua" soap, but I didn't buy the matching aftershave. Now I have two soaps- "Gold" and "Tuscan Oud". Good stuff, all right.

1955 Gillette Diplomat - A2 Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge MrEE Limited Edition #019 w/Ultra Density HMW Silvertip Badger Razorock Gold Shave Soap & Splash
Acqua, Gold, & Tuscan Oud are some of my favorite Razorock soaps & splashes as well. Love their price point too.
I really love their German 37 slant razor. I also have the Black Hawk V2, but I haven't had a good experience with it. However, this was most likely due to a dud blade that I purchased, and not the razor itself.

After reading some positive feedback about Razorock Blue Barbershop. I bought a few pucks and finally got around to it today. I bloomed the puck and took a shower first. Prep: bloom water from the container. Soap: Razorock WTP Blue Barbershop Brush: Semougue OC Boar Razor: Razorock Gamechanger .84 Blade: Astra SP Post: Dickensons witch hazel Aftershave: Epsilon Mediterranean blue Lotion: Gillette aftershave gel Made for a nice shave this morning. Lathered up in a reasonable time as well. The scent is close enough to the Epsilon. So they paired up well as I'd expected. Did 3 passes and ended up with a DFS. I think this will be staying in my shaving rotation as I really enjoy this type of scent anytime of the year.
Had a very enjoyable all Razorock head shave... brush, suds, razor and splash. Huge fan of The Dead Sea soap and this early Hawk Stainless DLC is always a joy. Enjoy your shave. Tom
Another shave with RR What the Puck blue barbershop. It turned out to be a good shave. Finished it off with some aqua Velva and Gillette aftershave gel.
Does anyone notice a difference in scent between Razorock Tuscan Oud soap and the aftershave?? I have had the soap for years now and love that slightly fruity/leathery cologne scent and would LOVE to have this scent as a afterdhave/EDT. recently picked up the aftershave and it smells exactly like Stirling Haverford which is based off a completely different fragrance and smells like tobacco/Vanilla and is based off Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla. Have contacted IB about this and was told there might be a SLIGHT difference due to EU regulations. I've had a issue with IB in the past sending me a completely different product than ordered and was told "sorry about my luck" and these being the ONLY issues i have had from buying thousands of dollars of products from many vendors over the years. but these 2 products are not even on the same planet keep in mind that other people in my household agree that they smell nothing alike. I'm not usually one to make a big deal about things like this but was royally ticked off since im very familiar with Tuscan Oud. If anyone that has used both the soap and A/S of Tuscan Oud could shed some light on this issue i would really appreciate it. Sorry for the rant just want to know if anyone else has had this issue.
