Tomorrow I will start on some of my two-day sets and try for the first time some Razorock soaps. I have gold, green, black and blue label sticks. This will be my first experience with Razorock soaps.

Nice Austrian duo there, my friend. ;)
 
It gives an unusual kind of lather, it doesn't develop that gloss I get from other soaps, but it still seems slick enough. Some lavender EO soaps can be a bit strident, but this just smells like the flowers, and the scent just keeps coming throughout the shave.

I hope your hospital stay was for nothing life-threatening? All the best for your recovery :)
Hey thanks @Gargravarr . Yeah, just some maintenance. Been putting up with a hernia for a couple of years so time to get proactive before it made the decision for me. :)

What fun, I've had a couple of those back in the days before all that keyhole surgery became universal. I remember the orderly who came round to measure me up for my coffin prior to surgery telling me "you know this is going to hurt like fuck, don't you?" :LOL:
