I like knowing the things I handle in the morning are made by hands that once loved them just as much as I do now. All made with care and consideration for the folks on the consumption end: from the razor, to the strop, to the soap. You just don't find that sort of care embedded in the things you buy today. In a world full of cheap things that break, it's good to have something solid and lasting to hold onto.

Now all I need is a lovingly made brush. Or two. Or three.
