It's possible there's just a little too much of one of the acids or bases used in soap making in these soaps for you. Stearic Acid and Potassium Hydroxide are both very common in soap making and it might just be that these soaps have a little more of one of them than your skin can handle.

Razorock has real good soaps for good prices, they have sales a lot and you can get some great deals IMO.
I have the 3 "What the puck" soaps and I'm still witling them down, I have the Blue barber, Lime & orange and the scents are mid range or better and really lather well for excellent protection.
I like the blue barber the most but the citrus lime and orange are sure nice for different times of the year to change things up when it is -40C outside.

I have had this for a couple of years and used it once when I first got it and put it in the drawer and forgot about it,
Glad I revisited it today

If it's only a problem with the Gold puck it could be the activated charcoal?.
Unfortunately, I have had irritation and redness from all 4 soaps. I really wanted to like them since there are good reviews. I will try to see if I can pin down the irritating ingredient(s). Thanks all.
Try something with minimal ingredients would be my recommendation (insert shameless plug for Canada Shaving Soap). Then try soaps with more and more ingredients. Or if you have one or two soaps that already work well for you, compare whats in them.
Couldn't hurt to try contacting Razorock and asking them if they know what might be causing it too.
The only problem for me is the price. In America where they go for a few bucks a pop its worth it. Here they are well over $20 a puck plus shipping (which is also typically an extra $10). Its a big part about why I also can't justify buying stirling products here. They sell the samples for $10 plus shipping, where they are only a few dollars in america. Price wise, Stirling and B&M, NO, OL, A&E, PAA etc are all very similar.
When they are on sale here, the pucks cost less than $2.50 each! Quite a bargain.
Wow that’s great! It’s like how proraso is only a few euros in Italy. Ironically, wetshaving software made in Aus also costs the same if not more than established brands which are imported. There’s just no winning here lol.
As you mention location plays a big part in the pricing of soap.
Kind of wished in some ways I lived in Italy. I would probably have a stockpile of Italian made croaps & soaps if I did.
While WTP is an Italian soap. I'm fortunate to be able to get it at such a great price here in the USA.

I have three of the sticks and they are very good soaps. I use ARKO mostly but use Razorock every couple of weeks. Actually Razorock is my second favorite soap. Long lasting stuff.
THEY ARE BACK IN STOCK!
Just picked up the 4 pack. With shipping to the US, $21.99 Biggest no brainer in history.

I’ve had these in my want to buy list for a while. I need to work down a couple soaps before I buy more—especially triple milled. Do the Razorock WTP last as long as PdP and Tabac? If that’s the case, a 4 pack would last me 2 years.
The WTP soaps are a incredible value for what you get. Perfoemance wise they lather great and are triple milled to last many MANY shaves. Scents are subjective but I really like the Gold and Black soaps, Green is not too bad either and find the newer scents much better than the original 3 scents but that's personal opinion.
What is your top 5, may I ask?
Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver Beta 4.3
RazoRock Plague Doctor
RazoRock Santa Maria del Fiore
Cella Extra Extra Bio
La Toja
In the last days I've been using Pre de Provence and the N°63 is up there with the best of them, too.
Thank you, sir!
Marco, what about Haslinger v2? That is usually one of your top soaps, isn't it?
I didn't have any breakout, but the RR Orange left me irritated.
Yup... I strongly suspect a Top 5 is not appropriate. I should list a Top 10 at least.
