Kyoku Sake Infused Shave Cream

Kyoku Sake Infused Shave Cream

The Kyoku Sake Infused Shave Cream is a glycerin-based shave cream that is made specifically for sensitive skin. Notice the word “specifically,” which is different than “exclusively.” I don’t think of myself as having sensitive skin, and it worked out pretty well for me in the end. Let’s take a closer look. The packaging continues on...

Video Showcasing Mine Kafon Displays Genius Ingenuity

Video Showcasing Mine Kafon Displays Genius Ingenuity

This video, about the “mine kafon” is simply fantastic. I really love hearing about ingenious ideas, especially ones which are used for really important purposes like clearing out leftover land mines. The mine kafon, as you see in the video, was inspired by a childhood activity of creating wind-powered racing “vehicles.” Taking this childhood game...
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is a Western Classic

“Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” is a Western Classic

This weekend I revisited one of my favorite older films, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” and was reminded how awesome that movie is. Paul Newman and Robert Redford depict a couple of aspiring wild West outlaw train and bank robbers. Eventually they rob the wrong train, and a majority of the movie consists of...

Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch Face Scrub

Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch Face Scrub

First of all, the Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch face wash is a great companion to their White Knight face wash. I love it when companies make a line that piggy-backs off itself, and this is certainly true of Billy Jealousy.  What makes the Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch so effective, is that it has some really...
Bold for Men Dry Shave Gel

Bold for Men Dry Shave Gel

I’ll admit it: when Bold for Men contacted me about their product, Bold for Men Dry Shave Gel, I was inherently skeptical. When I hear the term “dry shave,” it doesn’t exactly get me too excited. So why, I asked myself, would a company brand itself as a “dry shave” gel? That’s sort of like...
An Interview with Eastern Phoebes

An Interview with Eastern Phoebes

The New York band Eastern Phoebes is a fun-loving melodic band whose music is just as fun as the musicians behind it. I talked with band factotum Ry Smith, and asked him some questions regarding the band’s background, interests, and for some insight into the peculiar lyrics of some of their tracks. — Electrogent: Who are...
Rethink the Ordinary with Schoolhouse Electric

Rethink the Ordinary with Schoolhouse Electric

Schoolhouse Electric is everything that I love about American innovation and creativity. Here we have a company started by a guy who said, “I don’t like those light bulbs. I’ll make my own.” That is one of the coolest things ever. The idea that an entire showroom and company can be formed around the aesthetics...

Trade in Your Scarves for Wool Ties This Winter

The weather is starting to turn colder, which means the sweaters, jackets, and scarves are coming out of storage. However, think twice before you unload all your scarves from the dusty box in the attic, there might be a better option out there for you: wool ties. Sure, scarves serve a purpose that ties don’t...
Reggie Watts is the Master of Disorientation

Reggie Watts is the Master of Disorientation

In this delightfully-frustrating presentation (for lack of a better description), Brooklyn-based Reggie Watts gives a stream of consciousness speech that sounds like a bad college-level philosophy class. What’s so great about it, is his ability to seamlessly transition between different languages, subjects, and speech patterns without batting an eye. Then, he switches from waxing poetic...
