R2-D2 Soap by 'BlackWyrmDesigns' is the Droid You Were Looking for
Michael Hines — December 1, 2011 — Fashion
If you were to think of the perfect accessory for the Jedi bathrobe, you'd think of R2-D2 soap. This geeky soap was designed by Etsy merchant 'BlackWyrmDesigns' to give your bathroom a little nerdy street cred.
You might have noticed that the R2-D2 soap doesn't exactly look like a normal bar of soap. That's because the R2-D2 soap is actually encased in a layer of transparent, lavender-scented soap. According to the designer, this ensures that you will get multiple uses out of your Star Wars soap without it turning into an unidentifiable blue and white blob.
The real question is whether or not you'd stop to shower during a session of watching the original trilogy/playing through both volumes of "The Force Unleashed."
The soap sells in BlackWyrmDesign's Etsy shop for the Jedi-friendly price of $7.
