I need to catalogue my shaving supplies. Every time I dive into my cabinet, I come out with something I almost forgot was in there. It’s probably a sign that I have too many wet shaving products, but that’s not possible, right?

Razorock Plissoft “Monster” 26mm Synthetic Shaving Brush Review
Throughout the annals of traditional wet shaving lore, there are a certain number of products to which one could refer as “holy grails”. These are products which hold captive the minds, imaginations, and wallets of wet shavers the world over. From original tallow-based formulations of shaving soaps, to discontinued fragrances, to incredibly hard-to-find gear, these “holy grails” can turn this hobby (which arguably saves money) into an expensive, and often times fruitless, wild goose chase. Fortunately, several companies have developed the skills to re-create these sought after products, and none have done it better and more frequently than Razorock.
