Italian Barber Amici Shave Soap Review

The Italian Barber Amici Shave Soap is one of Italian Barber's hand made artisan soaps, and it is made by Joe from Italian Barber as a "Thank You" to all of the wet shavers out there who have supported the Italian Barber Online Store, as well as those who have purchased RazoRock products, since Italian Barber's inception.

A Wunderbar Shave!

Now this! This has been a most anticipated shave for a while now, mostly due to the new RazoRock Wunderbar Slant razor from Italian Barber.

It is the second slant head razor that I own and the 12th overall Safety Razor I have. The other slant head razor I own is the Merkur 37c Slant and I must say, the RazoRock Wunderbar Slant is the absolute benchmark so far in regards to what I have seen with Slant Head Razors. Maybe even in Safety Razors.
