To shave or not to shave, that is the question I ask myself almost every day. As much as I like the clean shaven look, there are times that I like to have stubble. There are a few reasons why I like to have stubble. The first reason is that the scruffy looks sophisticated in my opinion. The second reason is that I sometimes want to switch it up and attract older women and the clean shaven baby face gets in the way. And when I do grow the perfect length of hair on my face, it’s only for one day because the next day it’s too long for my liking. I’m very picky about the amount of stubble I have and you can see how this can become annoying for me. I’m positive that I can’t be the only guy in this situation. But thankfully, I no longer have to worry thanks to the i-Stubble by Conair.

I’ve already used the i-Stubble beard trimmer several times now and I like the results that I get after using it. The beard trimmer is well designed, light weight, and easy to handle. The trimmer features three buttons and is very easy to figure out. The two upper buttons control the length settings while the lower button is the power button. The beard trimmer features 15 ultra-precise length settings ranging from 5mm in length all the way down to 0.4mm (2 day stubble) in length.  I plan on staying in the 0.4mm to 1.0mm range depending on my mood. The ‘i-Stubble’ also has an easy to read digital display which shows the current setting for the length and battery life. And speaking of battery life, the i-Stubble features a rechargeable battery and can hold a charge for 45 minutes.

The weather to sit back and chill in the sun is just about here. You get invited to a patio party but there are not enough chairs for everybody. So what are you going to do? Are you going to stand there like a creeper? Hell no!

You are going to be that nerdy dude and pull out a chair from your pocket. Yes, you heard right. The Pocket Chair is just what it sounds like. It’s a chair that folds and fits in your pocket. The chair is able to hold up to 250lbs thanks to the “dual-action counter rotational support system” that gives you the strength of steel and the comfort of a chair. The pocket chair can be yours for the low low price of $14.99.

We’ve been using the VISS Beauty IPL hair reduction system for some time now and it’s time to share the progress made so far. We did our first report at the end of September after we had completed 2 treatments using this Intense Pulsed Light hair reduction system.

If you’re not sure what VISS Beauty IPL is, you might want to check out the original article here. Basically, the VISS Beauty IPL is a device that emits light which is absorbed by pigment in the hair shaft beneath the surface of the skin. This helps in disabling hair follicle activity which prevents hair from growing back. Below, you will find pictures of the results we have been able to achieve in approximately 12 weeks (1 treatment per 2 weeks).

It’s very rare that a gadget gets me all hot and bothered, but this upcoming “smart window” from Samsung has done just that. The Samsung Smart Window is a completely transparent window (as you would expect), but with a twist. It features a full digital interface on the inner facing side, meaning that it acts like a massive touch screen computer. Remember that scene in Minority Report where

I’ve smoked the hookah a few times here and there but it’s not a regular thing for me. Some people are obsessed with the smoking device and even collect them since different regions of the world have different styles and designs. And those with money to blow skip the standard hookah and strictly deal with “designer” hookahs such as the ‘Designer Shisha by Porsche Design’.

If the offerings from Porsche Design are still not worthy enough then perhaps the hookah from Etienne LeRoy might do it for you. The Swiss made Etinne LeRoy hookah was unveiled at the Big Boys Toys in Dubai and is limited to only 99 pieces making it that much more exclusive. The Swiss are known for their quality craftsmanship and this hookah is no exception. According to the company, “the Etienne LeRoy team have decided to ally the Eastern tradition and modern Swiss design to create the best sheesha ever made”.
