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

Dull skin? Here’s how to liven it up

Banish dull skin once and for all with these tips and insights

You wake up, look in the mirror, and find yourself doing a double-take—and not for good reasons. You may notice your skin looks rather blah and even gray — isn't hair what goes gray? While all the talk of achieving "radiant skin" often targets women, men may also want a glow, not merely during the summer months. However, dull skin may be standing in the way.

Having dull skin can also be about more than looking your best (though there's no shame if that's your primary pain point). Sometimes, dull skin includes side effects like patchiness, increased sensitivity, itchiness, and flakes. None of these symptoms will make you feel your best, either.

Now that the 1990s are back, we are starting to explore some of the fashion trends of the decade that brought us the rise of the flannel and the brightly colored neons and fluorescents. Of course, clothing is just the start. Accessories, shoes, and even entertainment are beginning to reach back into the 90s vault. Hair is another place where we as a society are looking backward to the 90s for inspiration. That means it is time to reexamine the crew cut and whether or not it is the right cut for you.

Like many things in men's style, the crew cut can be traced back to both the military and the Ivy League campuses. The name itself refers to the cut the members of a crew team received when they needed to keep their hair short and out of their faces to streamline their race through the water. It is also the cut that recruits receive when they sign over their lives to Uncle Sam and the United States military. Short, simple, and perfect for the summer, these are the best crew cuts for you to try in 2024.
