RazorPit. I love this!

The short life of a disposable blade has always been the bane of a modern shaver’s existence; this is no longer the case with Razor Pit! Clean and maintain your razor to make it almost as good as new for months… 


I got one of these for Christmas, and it's been brilliant. I like to have a bit of a lazy beard, so I only really shave 2 or 3 times a month. I find that the blades get rusty and dirty if you don't use them every day, and I only get a few shaves out of a blade - not the 10 or more they promote. 

With RazorPit, instead of throwing the razor blade out after 10 or so shaves you can get 100, even 150 shaves from the same blade. Saves you money and helps the environment by reducing landfill and production resources.

Alls you do is squirt some shaving cream on the pit and then push your razor along a few times. Adds about 20 seconds to your shave and makes it feel like a new blade every time. 

You can get it here.

Lucky Seven Custom Trucker Hats

I love these. I love the thinking behind them.

Lucky Seven are trucker hats featuring logos of 'companies' from cult film and TV - like the patches you see on uniforms in Alien or Bladerunner.

You can choose your own colour, patch, and crest - which is kinda cool - and the caps come delivered in a funky box.

Coloured Brogues

Veering dangerously towards breaking my 'no boat shoes' rule is the brogue. Brogues are kind of old school, but there's some seriously cool coloured ones coming out at the moment.

Not sure about the Prada multi-coloured versions. It'd take some serious attitude to rock a pair of those ... or maybe just the right suit.

Drop Crotch Jeans and Pants

Levi reckon they kicked off this mini trend - but there's enough people following to make me think it's going to slowly edge its way from 'trendy' to mainstream.

These started appearing in the Autumn 2010 collections - notably D&G - but have started appearing in High Street stores as well.

Apparently it's inspired by Japanese youngen's wearing baggy low rise jeans tucked into their joggers.

How to Dress Skinny

Everyone's talking about 'Dandy' fashion as though skinny body types have sprung out of nowhere. It's like the media think we've all just chosen to abandon six packs and bug chest muscles!

Still - here's some great tips for skinny body types.

Winning Tee

There are a lot of Charlie Sheen tees around, but this one made me laugh out loud. Not the best shot - the store was closed and it was hanging in the window.

Street Art

Spotted on the streets of Chicago. Made me laugh.

Deus Ex Machina

So I saw the board online the other day and checked it out in store. Was amazing ... was $2500.

Sweatpants are on the radar

Every man's dream come true - stylish tracksuit pants.

Wide waist bands. Cut slim like your favourite chinos with all the style you need to go from couch to cafe and back again. A lot of grey, navy, and red around. Just don't try and keep your wallet, keys, and phone in your back pocket!

I need me one of these.

I love everything about this slingshot - even the marketing blurb that ticks both the irresponsible toy and resposible gift boxes.

"This classic sling shot is hand made from branches of the Buckthorn bush, a European hedge plant commonly found in suburban neighborhoods in Minnesota, and now considered an invasive species. Buckthorn's hard "Y" branches are perfect for sling shots, and harvesting Buckthorn wood helps with efforts to control the species.

Natural latex tubing and a leather projectile pouch are attached to the sling shot using sinew. A light coat of hand rubbed mineral oil brings out the natural beauty of the wood."

The World Is A Dark Place

At least, that's what Karl Lagerfeld said after his 2011/12 fashion shows in Paris this week.

With black sand, volcanic rocks and remnants of smoke smoldering underneath the long wooden platform, running nearly the entire length of the exhibition hall, wall-sized images of burnt trees etched onto ceiling-height Styrofoam boards. Awesome. How cool are the 'thumb less' gloves and jumpsuits?

I like this ...

NY designer Andrew Buckler. Slick pants - little short without cuffing. Cons with black laces. Sharp jacket. Layered white jersey shirt and vest.  Nice.

If I had $1500 ... I'd totally waste it on this

Thing Of Beauty!

6ft Pintail Singlefin - Hollow timber surfboard. Recycled redgum deck, with paulownia rails and bottom.

By comparison, my surfboard looks like this:

You just know it'd make you surf better ... knowing you had a better board at home in your lounge room!

Vampire Diaries

Whose idea was it to take a month off from The Vampire Diaries?! Everyone kept saying 'It gets better' so I forced myself through the first few episodes until all of a sudden Katherine arrived and things took a turn for the awesome.

Now they're on mid season break until April 7, but here's something to keep us going ...




Meanwhile ... if you've been coveting Damon's leather jacket the good news is the evil geniuses at CoolSpotters.com have tracked it down. It's called Loslo by Diesel, and you can get it here or try for one on eBay here.

The bad news? It doesn't look so cool on James Franco. Maybe it's a vampire thing ...

Chunky Watch + Beads = Now

Leather wrist straps circle male style like lazy sharks. But even the most grown up watch can dress down  next to some beads and strips of beast skin.

Colour's Not Going Anywhere

If THE WILD ONE was in colour, chances are Marlon Brando wouldn't be caught dead in red chinos - but Zara Men reckon modern males can pull off this look and still come off looking all broody and tough. 

I'm thinkin Marlon didn't put so much product in his hair, but would own this look.
