Rotating Soap

20111108007

Why do we need a Rotating Soap? The reason is obvious: as the soap rotates, it not only allows for a more convenient usage, but also ensures a much quicker drying-out. Moreover, since the soap is hanged over a chromium-plated brass rod, it would seldom result in unnecessary waste as those usually covered by water do, and as a result the a 300 g soap can be used for more than 1,000 times of hands-washing.
