A little old school Razorock this evening... Cacao - one of the early scents. Very similar to Cella, seems like a precursor to P160. Still a strong scent. Razorock Hawk LE stainless - not the DLC model, but the “naked” stainless one. Razorock Barber 24 to whip up the suds. Great shave! Enjoy your shave. Tom
Thanks Gary. It Is a really nice soap. And the razor celebrated its 3 year anniversary with me this week.
