Hump-day Links XX

November 4, 2009Grooming

I hope you had a great Halloween. I’ve said before that it’s my favorite holiday, and this one didn’t disappoint.

September 11, 2009Grooming

Let’s face it, the cost of cartridge razor blades is criminally high — they’re a cash cow for companies like Gillette and Schick.

With the Dog Days finally over, the Internet have returned to their keyboards to give you the information and entertainment you so richly deserve. As always, I strive to maintain a one-stop shop of the most vital tidbits: Slap Fight! Slap Fight!: How to Lead an Empty Romantic Existence is a continuation of Conor Friedersdorf’s [...]
