Ah, goatees. The preferred facial hair of nerds, fat guys, bikers and Mark Wilson. If you're looking to make sure your goatee is as neat and even as possible, you're going to need a little assistance. Say hello to the GoateeSaver. More »

Pube Grooming Kit Makes Your Muff Best In Show

Anyone into heart-shaped boxes need look no further than the Just Kittyng Kit. In it is all the gear you need to turn your girlfriend's lady-garden into something more, shall we say, ornamental. It's got a bunch of stencils so that when you choose to transform her bush into a heart, star or arrow, it won't look like something that Salvador Dali did. The three shapes are dull-ass dull, though. Whoever is behind this $36 thing needs to start thinking outside the box. [Makeup.com via ALBOTAS]

Gun Hairdryer Kills Wet Hair, Self-Respect

If I were a pretty boy and owned a blow-dryer, I'd probably pick up this one, since it looks like a revolver. A froo-froo revolver with a baby blue (or pink) handle and flowery etchings, but hey, a gun's a gun. Except you know, when it's a blow-dryer. This rugged, questionably manly grooming accessory goes for about $40, but sadly looks to be Japan only. [Product Page via Tokyo Mango]

Norelco Cool Skin Electric Razor, Phallic But Effective

We just got our hands on one of the first Philips Norelco Cool Skin Model 840 razors, set to release in July. With its streamlined blue body and gray trim, along with its tripleheader cutters mounted atop a crazy looking stalk, this is a razor whose appearance is quite different from any we've ever seen.

Braun Pulsonic—Closest Electric Shave Ever?

The last time I went hands-on with a grooming device I was trying to grow hair. As life would have it, this time I'm trying to shave it with Braun's new Pulsonic razor. The $239 machine claims it gives the closest shave you can get from an electric razor. How'd it do? Coming from a guy who's been wet-shaving all his life, not bad. More »

Hands On with the HairMax Laser Comb

They say balding guys will do anything to keep the hair on their head from falling, but does anything include throwing $400 down on a laser comb? Albeit, an FDA-approved laser comb? Cause that's the starting price for the HairMax Laser Comb, which claims to stimulate and maintain your mane before it withers down to a few strands. We hit up the HairMax launch party last night and not only did we snag a comb, but we also got some impressions of it for you guys... More »

HairMax Laser Comb Gets FDA Approval

Wow. And I always thought the FDA were pretty stubborn regarding shooting lasers into your brain-area. If you remember, almost two years ago we first told you about the HairMax laser comb. This $700 comb was able to improve hair quality and thickness by shooting freaking laser beams into your head. Back then it was just a concept and a pretty farfetched one at that, but the FDA actually approved the HairMax Laser Comb. Apparently, after tri-weekly usage people reported 19-time thicker hair per square centimeter. Luckily I have a head full of thick, luxurious hair, but I've heard stories of my balding friends willing to try anything. –Travis Hudson More »

Latest by psage: There appears to be confusion over what FDA clearance really means in the case of this laser comb. I'm sure the manufacturer isn't upset that people believe the FDA has approved it as a hair loss treatment, but they haven't. more »

Philips Wants to Help You Ditch That Unibrow

Hey, missing link. Yeah, I'm talking to you. That unibrow ain't doing you any favors. Yeah, I know, it's embarrassing to talk about your awkwardly placed hair, but you shouldn't feel ashamed. Masculine grooming has become more acceptable now that companies are brazenly selling back shavers, and getting rid of your unibrow is much less shameful than getting your back shaved on the internet.

On-the-Hoof Grooming for Japan's Sweating, Stinking Salaryman Armies

Although it has a deserved reputation for being an effortlessly clean place, Japan sometimes stinks to high heaven, especially in those packed commuter trains clich d movies like Lost in Translation go to town on (metaphorically, y'know?). More »

LA-Tweeze Flashlight Tweezers

Being the hairy, borderline cannibalistic males that we are, you'd think we would know more about tweezer technology. Alas, our unibrows sit shamefully below our thick, protruding foreheads, taunting us to pluck it. More »

Moore's Law for Razor Blades: 14 Blades by 2100

Those of you who did a spit-take when Gillette announced their five blade Fusion razor last year because you remembered The Onion predicting it would happen from the year before, you should appreciate that someone at The Economist not only wondered whether or not there was a Moore's Law for razor blades but actually worked on the graph you see to the right. If the (admittedly few) five data points we have hold, we should be shaving ourselves with fourteen blades by the 2100. More »

Finger Nose Hair Trimmer

In all honestly, this is one of the worst manufactured nose hair trimmers on the market today. The actual nose hair trimming portion is under half an inch long, definitely not far enough to get those deep hairs near the Corpus Collosum. And the finger portion is proportionally wrong, not wide enough to allow access inside of the nostril for proper nose hair grooming. You would think a certified gag engineer would put more consideration into a gag that could be both practical and funny. This fails on all levels, but imagine all of the LOL this would create around the office email and AIM network. Go ahead. Forward it along. Be all like "Matt sure could use this! LOL!" More »
