RazoRock’s Caprician Lemon isn’t some lame sickly sweet lemonade scent. It’s a wonderfully tart actual lemon aroma. It’s nice and strong when first lathered up and applied to the face, although it does fade a fair amount during the shave. Not completely by any stretch mind you, it’s still noticeable, but not strongly.
The lather was, frankly, spectacular. With just a tiny bit of water, it very easily whipped into a quite thick lather which provided more than enough lubrication as well. And it left the face feeling nice and refreshed / moisturized. All in all, one of the best shaves I’ve had.
- 9/10 Scent Pleasantness
- 8/10 Scent Strength
- 10/10 Lather Quality
A tub of the Caprician Lemon is available for $10.99, for what is labelled as 125 mL… although frankly, I don’t think that makes much sense to me. I mean, the tub contains a square block of soap that’s obviously been cut off of a larger block. It seems to me that measurement by weight would make more sense in this instance than a measurement by volume. Oh well.
Anyways, I’m giving it a 9/10. It’s a very very good shave, smells nice, and is rather affordable. Definitely a damned good bang-for-your-buck.
Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Tallow, Water, Cocos Nucifera, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance (Lemon), Potassium Carbonate
Must get round to trying some of the gear from the very reputable Razorock and I don’t currently have a ‘lemon’ scented cream/soap for use on my discerning customers!
Good, clear and concise review. Thanks!
I just got around to getting a puck myself, of “Mughetto di Bologna.” Smells great. I hope to try it this week.
I rather enjoyed my first sniff of that one too.
@Mantic – What does the Mughetto di Bologna soap smell like?
It’s really hard for me to describe. Definitely floral, kind of lily of the valley or lilac, but “sweeter.” There’s also a bit of “soapy” scent too. It kind of smells a little like my wife’s Oil of Olay.
What does lilly of the valley smell like? lol
Does it have a lavanderish scent to it at all?
Does it smell like any particular product?
Baby powder maybe?
I love reading such reviews, the full list of product ingredients would do it even more enjoyable. Please keep it up. Thanks.
Sorry, I missed them at the end of the article
Tried it, but had a burning sensation when I shaved. Shame because it was a nice thick lather. Ended up giving to a friend and luckily was able to purchase a couple other RazoRock products that didn’t cause any irritation.
They’ve definitely got a wide enough range, and pretty much all good stuff.
Are Razo’s soap formulations similar in parts and proportions like a repertory company or are they each a new invention?
They’ve got a few lines that are mostly similar, and some that seem mostly unique. Their La Famiglia line is mostly alike, as is their classic line, and their Artisan line.
Bit more info is on their website, http://www.razorock.com.

Is that a plastic slant in the picture? If so, where can I get one?
That would be the vintage bakelite slant of which Italian Barber had obtained a case of new old stock… unfortunately, they sold out just after the new year.
I’d suggest watching reddit.com/r/shave_bazaar, or Badger and Blade’s “Shave Mall” section.
But yeah, highly recommended if you’re able to find one. I greatly prefer it to the 37C.
