Thread: From William Marvy to RazoRock Classic! The sun's come out!!

I don't know if any of you have used William Marvy soap, but that's what I've been using as my first, and up until tonight, only soap. I've gone through most of a puck of it now, and despite changing water temps, amount, brush speed etc, I've never seen a great lather from it. Thanks to great advice here, I started adding a few drops of glycerin about a week ago, and while that helps (quite a bit), it's still nothing like the thick lather people post pictures of around here in reviews. It also seemed to dissipate quickly - I'd end up re-lathering several times a shave.

Earlier this week while Christmas shopping for people, I decided to add some RazoRock classic cream to the cart. I'd read good things, and at only $9.95 and free two day shipping, I figured I'd try it - at least I'd have something to compare my lather techniques with compared to the Williams. Was it all me - or was it partly the soap?

Well, I'm happy to report, it's NOT all me!! I just scraped a bit of cream off the inner cap of the container, little more than a smear in my lather bowl and gave it a go when I go home tonight, and BAM!! Thick, creamy piles of lather enveloped my brush, burying it in fluffy clouds!! So I applied it, just to see, and it just stayed, and stayed and stayed!! I think I could take a week to finish a shave and I still wouldn't have to re-apply! This stuff is amazing!! The clouds have parted and I feel like I'm finally making some decent lather!

Nothing new here for a lot of you I'm sure, but I'm super excited nonetheless. If you're looking for a good cream, I think I found one.

I think I have the Classic one; mine just says "RazorRock." I love the almond, cherry smell. And had the same great experience lathering and using it.

Razorock is a very fine Shave cream/soap. All of their products are very well received in our little community. Enjoy the day!!

Just keep in mind that William Marvy is not the same as J.B. Williams, both infamous for making poor lather. Call it the William Curse. Try using RazoRock as the soft soap it is and load directly on the brush. So, any ideas how to end the Marvylous one?
