Watch This

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

(Please excuse the corny title.)

How cool are these watches. I recently stumbled upon Toy Watch USA. They have a set of watches that they call The Jelly Shop. Here is a sample of one of their products.

The price tag is kind of a killer, but hey if you got the extra dough then I’d definitely go for it. Check out the link at the top and it’ll take you to the shop, where you can customize your watch before buying it. There’s a ton of different strap colors that you can match up with different watch faces. I’d love to have one, but unless one of you hires me sometime soon, sadly it won’t be in the budget :)

AIAIAI

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Check out these sick headsets from AIAIAI (no, that is not a typo).

The origins of their company sound pretty cool too. They are a small, Copenhagen-based team of only 4 people, that sort of expanded into the headphone business. All of their stuff is retro and in my opinion, cool as hell! Check out more of their products at http://www.aiaiai.dk/.

Safety Razors

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I love shaving. I believe that shaving is not just a daily chore to get through – shaving is an event, an art. A good shave is better than a good hair day. There’s nothing more attractive than a nice smooth feeling chin, with a manly aftershave-scent to boot.

That’s why I’m frustrated with the razors of today. It’s almost ridiculous to see 3, 4, and even 5 blades on some razors that in the end, are all useless. The more blades you put on a razor, the more it will decrease the angle of the blade against your face. This leads to more ingrown hairs, and a rougher stubble – all contributors to the dread 5 ‘o clock shadow.

My latest desire is for a sturdy, heavy handed safety razor. Here is a Merkur Heavy Duty in all its glory:


Be sure to check out some of these products and let me know if anything pikes your interest.

And before you start complaining about the cost, think about this: it’s cheaper to buy 100 safety razor blades than 4 measly Mach3 cartridges. To break it down, it costs about 17 cents a blade versus almost 5 dollars a cartridge!

Be sure to drop back in here and let me know what you pick up.
