Who Would Dare Use The Butterfly Knife Razor?

It’s times like these that I’m glad I’m a woman and never have to shave my face. Hopefully it’ll stay that way when I’m 60, otherwise I’ll be looking down the barrel of a butterfly razor like this one. Called the “G Blade,” it was created by George Christou who, according to Yanko Design, was…

Audi Traveling Shaver Concept Doesn’t Come With an R8, But It Should

So I happen to love Audis. I drive one, and I like her fine, but nevertheless if I received this razor in my stocking, she would have developed an inferiority complex at the sight of my incessant shaving.

Japanese School Girl Wristcutters: So Wrong It Really, Really Hurts

Wowowow. I have no idea what the context of this clip is. I don’t want to believe that these kawaii! schoolgirl wristcutters are real, peddled by schoolgirls winking and smiling as they lick the blood trickling down their wrists. But you know what? I honestly don’t know what’s real or not anymore. I just don’t…

Low End Theory: Wonderful Electric?

By Brendan I. Koerner As hopeless gearheads, we’re naturally prone to assuming that today’s gadgets invariably trump their low-tech forebears. And for the most part that’s true—how many of y’all would honestly prefer a rotary phone to your Treo 700wx, except for the purposes of eliciting ironic laughter? But the quality gap narrows considerably when…

Phillips Norelco BG2020 Men’s Bodygroom Reviewed (Verdict: Wtf)

This is an average electric trimmer, but some of the customer reviews over on Amazon are interesting to say the least. Groin: Lets just say the “Bodygroom” is Shaft, Beanbag, and Starfish safe. No nicks or any pain…no worries…that does not mean go in there like a maniac…take your time…the two trimmers on the front…

I’ve always been more of a Macross loser guy than a Gundam guy, but this I can’t pass up. As an avid shaver, I’d like to have more fun while shaving since my beard grows back about 5 minutes after I finish up. That’s why KAI has come out with this gorgeous looking Gundam razor.…

Gillette 5 Blade Razor

Let’s consider the following events: Gillette has created a razor with 5 blades and we discover a blog dedicated to shavers and shaving. Both of these items are unusual, at best, but the conjunction of both of these at the same time is like watching a solar eclipse—if I didn’t have two millennia of scientific…
