Straight Razor Place - Welcome to Straight Razor Place

The double edge safety razor (DE) has come far from King Camp Gillette’s days, serving in three wars, as well as shaving millions of civilians. Yet the changes in the DE have been mostly functional and cosmetic, but the principle idea remains the same. The distance between the 1904 Gillette and the current crop of DE razors is about that of yesterday’s shave and today’s. The old Gillettes are still preferred by some shavers. Then again, who can resist the gorgeous Edwin Jagger DE razors? http://straightrazorplace.com/content/

Une nuit dans une hutte de hobbit | Isabelle Audet | Cantons de l'Est

Quiconque est inattentif peut passer devant la hutte sans la voir. Du sentier, on ne voit qu'une colline couverte de paillis. Seule une cheminée trahit la vie qui se cache dessous. La porte et les fenêtres circulaires du Troglo sortent de terre de l'autre côté, face à la forêt.

The Tech Archive: Buxton's Vintage Gadget Collection | StormDriver

For every good design there’s at least a dozen of concepts that didn’t catch on. Nothing illustrates that better than a great online vintage gadget collection , published yesterday by Microsoft Research team. The collection is a brainchild of Bill Buxton, one of the principal Microsoft researchers, a guy who’s been through 30 years of continuous tech design. Awarded with three honorary doctorates and several professional awards, Bill also likes to gather things – the vintage, geeky kind of things, to be precise. http://www.stormdriver.com/blog/the-tech-archive-buxtons-collection/

Not A Joke: Brainwave-Powered Cat Ears Put Your Emotions On Display | Co.Design

You know a sci-fi concept like " brain/computer interface " is gaining critical mass when it starts to be incorporated into incredibly silly products. I remember playing with a brain-sensor headset from Emotiv at CES a few years ago, and thinking: "Wow, this could really help amputees and veterans use their computers!" Well, now a Japanese company called Neurowear is using the technology to cater to batshit-crazy cosplayers . See for yourself: The lifelike movement is undeniably powerful as a "communication tool." The product, called Necomimi, is billed as "a new communication tool that augments [the] human's body and ability." http://www.fastcodesign.com/1663786/not-a-joke-brainwave-powered-cat-ears-put-your-emotions-on-display

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/12/new-dinosaur-species-is-a-missing-link/ It's fitting that a place called Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, would yield the discovery of a scary-looking creature. But it's not a ghost - it's a dinosaur. This dog-sized, ferocious-looking critter is called Daemonosaurus chauliodus, which means something along the lines of “buck-toothed evil lizard,” says Hans-Dieter Sues, lead author of the published research describing this dinosaur, and curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. The illustration above compares the head and neck with a quarter.

The other day I was doing research for a small project, and I happened to stumble upon one of Bill Gates’ original business cards . Obviously, things turned out fantastic for him. He made a fantastic product that ultimately changed our lives forever, and it is very possible that his business card helped get him to where he is today. I wonder who he gave it to first. Perhaps they thought to themselves, “Oh wow! This is a fantastic business card!
