I got to use the new RazoRock Classic today. As expected, it easily produced great thick, cushioning lather. I put a new Gillette Silver Blue in my Slim and set sail. I had a excellent shave: smooth, close, and nick free. I finished up with Shulton Old Spice.

FYI-Joe at The Italian Barber still has the new Artisan Classic on his ebay page at the introductory price of $3.99! I am ordering a few more tubs today at this price.

Sarimento... alas I cannot appreciate in full your razor, as i do not know cut throats. Can only appreciate its aesthetics.
But I am envious enough of the rest of your HW! :angry:
