Same thing different name

my brain goes "thonk"
I had read that Razorock XXX ADP are the same just that ADP went under Razorock to boost sales, if this is true, and this being RazoRoctober, if I use ADP I'll still be using RR XXX. Am I correct on this? Or did I answer my own question?
 
I don't believe that ADP used Razorock to boost sales. I believe that Joe managed a deal with the manufacturer to market the product under the RR brand. I have only used a small amount of ADP but I found RR to be similar. Not the same product but close.
 
I have a tub of each. My two tubs aren't exactly the same--the ADP has a stronger scent (but the same basic scent) and a slightly different texture. But that could be just the difference in one batch vs another. For all practical purposes they are the same, I think. I'm thinking the XXX was a batch that just missed the QC margins for ADP---but that's a wild, information-free guess. Just something I concocted based on my limited time working in QC in a different industry. It's been made everything except 100% clear by Italian Barber Joe that they are the same. And unless he was actually in the factory when they made and tested the product, it's hard to say if even he would know for certain.

I agree with SmoovD it probably had nothing to do with boosting ADP sales--that really doesn't make much sense to me. Either way it's great stuff no matter what the label. Too bad we still can't get it for $10. Try RR XX it's not the same thing, but it is fantastic!
