When I was in high school I took a class on Roman history that included a two week trip to italy. It was one of my most memorable experience as a teenager. I fell in love with the country, the architecture, the style, the food, everything. The first week of the trip was spent exploring Rome and visiting so many of the ruins we had studied. Then we drove south for a week visiting Capri and Sorrento. On that drive we stopped for lunch in Sperlonga, the summer villa of the Emperor Tiberius. The Razorock “XX” shaving soap and aftershave take me back to that drive through the Italian countryside.

I think the best way to do this is to run through the few points that have been sticking in my mind while I’ve been working with this soap. I hope this makes more sense by the end of this post.

Tcheon Fung Sing TFS “Corte Sabauda” Shaving Soap and Aftershave Review
The “Corte Sabauda” sandalwood is a new variation to me. This is a sweet, creamy sandalwood, which is why I like it so much this time of year. I think the fragrance can shine on warmer days and hold its own when the mercury drops. I would enjoy this fragrance any time from March through November.

Jimmy Choo Man Intense Eau de Toilette Review
A few weeks ago I published my review of the Jimmy Choo “Man” Eau de Toilette. When I received my bottle for the review, the folks at Jimmy Choo were kind enough to send over a pre-release bottle of the Jimmy Choo “Man” Intense EdT too. Released just this September, I wanted to hold off on my review until this cologne was actually available for purchase.

Beau Brummell Grooming Products Review
My face has been an experimental playground lately, testing all sorts of skin cleansers and moisturizers. Feel free to read my other two most recent reviews on Floris and Penhaligon’s, with a combined 432 years of experience between them. Today’s review comes from a much different company, a burgeoning New York based startup named after Beau Brummell, the 18th century male style icon who influenced politics and fashion with his own personal attention to grooming and dress. Can you imagine if Beau Brummell was alive today? His Instagram feed would be required reading.
