In particular, he used his skills as a chemist to study 503 pieces of lint from within his belly button to create a scientific explanation for what causes your man-belly to collect fluff like a Sarlacc pit eating Jabba the Hutt’s foot soldiers.

Slim Trim Razor For Shaving That Is Mathematically Correct
5:40AM Sean Fallon | After the Goatee Saver, I thought that I had seen it all. But no…there is more where that came from. Check out this Slim Trim razor from designer James McAdam. The caliper mechanism promises a mathematically proportional shave every time. Sure, that makes sense with sideburns and Hitler mustaches, but you have to think bigger—more artistic. How about carving some intricate geometric designs into your stubble? Yeah…your face would be like a blank canvas every couple of days. Maybe even twice a day if you are one seriously hairy dude.

Remington Clipper Advances the Hair Clipper
10:40AM Jason Chen | As a guy who’s no stranger to buzz cuts (I even tested the Flowbee once) I can say that this Remington ShortCut seems like quite a nice invention. It’s got one of five length settings, plus is self-curved for your round noggin. The shape of the thing makes it easier to hold, like a brush, than the standard clippers we’ve all been using. There’s even a “balding comb” attachment which supposedly gives the closest cut ever from an electric clipper. Get yours for US$29, or upgrade to the high-end chrome for US$39.
