How You Can Save Money By Shaving—RazorPit

By Matt Bell Published September 13, 2013

Looking to shave a little cash from your grooming routine? Then take your blade and slide it across this canny little device. Doing just that made my supped up 4 blade razor last from May 2012 clear through January. That’s 8 months without dropping so much as a penny on a razor blade. And really, it was still going strong by February—not so much a nip, burn or random bump—I just kinda wanted a new blade by that point.

The makers of the product found that razor blades lose their sharpness so quickly mostly because of microscopic gunk that builds up after just a few shaves. It’s Bacteria that water and soap can’t rinse off but that does get cleansed by gliding your blade along a strip of thermo-plastic elastomer. Sounds random, but the company’s founders went through a lot of trial and error (mostly error) before then came up with this one. And now, that’s pretty much all the RazorPit is. It’s about the size of an iPhone and comes with a stand replete with a spot to store your blade. The science behind it has to do with friction, though really after the season has changed and you’re still on the same blade, you’ll be thinking it’s some sort of miracle.

The RazorPit is $35 at groominglounge.com

To stay fully hydrated and healthy, your beard, skin, and hair need…beer?

Benefits from beer-infused men's grooming products

Beer-infused toner mist

We all like to hoist a cold one every now and then, but it’s probably safe to say that most men aren’t concerned about their skin when they quaff their favorite brew and kill off a few brain cells in the process -- which is too bad, because it turns out men’s skin can actually benefit from beer. Not any of the organs under the skin — especially the liver — and not from drinking it, either. But it turns out the ingredients in beer can actually provide skincare benefits that are well worth examining.

For men who value versatility as part of their trimming needs, the EGGO trimmer from GA.MA Professional provides comprehensive coverage, regardless of where things get a little, um, shaggy or overgrown. The calling card of the EGGO is that it’s designed to meet men’s grooming needs everywhere, which means face, chest, underarms and pubic hair. The combination of precision blades and a skin-sensitive design means that men can set up their own grooming routines and rest assured that everything will be covered.
The EGGO is also designed to reduce sweat and odor and prevent skin irritation, plus it can even increase sensitivity in areas where that especially matters. The motor can generate up to 5600 rpms, and the blades are hypoallergenic ceramic and curved to avoid cuts, scratches, and those annoying awkward missteps (ouch!).
