  This little Rolli came up for auction on a local eBay competitor a while back. It was made right here in Lausanne so I couldn’t resist. I couldn’t find out anything about this razor maker, so it’s a bit of a mystery. I didn’t expect much, but it turned out to be a really nice little straight.

  It’s the first straight razor I have with a polished blade. Shiny!

  Electric Sheep is such a happy soap – probably less because of the soap itself, but somehow, I associate it with good times.

  Have a good day!

  I have this soap in the Kodiak base which has bear tallow in it. It’s a nice base, but I would like to learn how the animal the tallow comes from makes a difference.
