Local Razor
- Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
- Razor: F. Rolli Rolli's Hollow Ground 5/8" (carbon steel, barber's notch)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Leviathan
- Aftershave: Barrister and Mann – Lavanille
- Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Gratiot League Square
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!
Shiny is good, shiny is life!
That razor looks like a nice grab!

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!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
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.
