If I were a pretty boy and owned a blow-dryer, I'd probably pick up this one, since it looks like a revolver. A froo-froo revolver with a baby blue (or pink) handle and flowery etchings, but hey, a gun's a gun. Except you know, when it's a blow-dryer. This rugged, questionably manly grooming accessory goes for about $40, but sadly looks to be Japan only. [Product Page via Tokyo Mango]

Braun Pulsonic—Closest Electric Shave Ever?
The last time I went hands-on with a grooming device I was trying to grow hair. As life would have it, this time I'm trying to shave it with Braun's new Pulsonic razor. The $239 machine claims it gives the closest shave you can get from an electric razor. How'd it do? Coming from a guy who's been wet-shaving all his life, not bad. More »

Hands On with the HairMax Laser Comb
They say balding guys will do anything to keep the hair on their head from falling, but does anything include throwing $400 down on a laser comb? Albeit, an FDA-approved laser comb? Cause that's the starting price for the HairMax Laser Comb, which claims to stimulate and maintain your mane before it withers down to a few strands. We hit up the HairMax launch party last night and not only did we snag a comb, but we also got some impressions of it for you guys... More »

HairMax Laser Comb Gets FDA Approval
Wow. And I always thought the FDA were pretty stubborn regarding shooting lasers into your brain-area. If you remember, almost two years ago we first told you about the HairMax laser comb. This $700 comb was able to improve hair quality and thickness by shooting freaking laser beams into your head. Back then it was just a concept and a pretty farfetched one at that, but the FDA actually approved the HairMax Laser Comb. Apparently, after tri-weekly usage people reported 19-time thicker hair per square centimeter. Luckily I have a head full of thick, luxurious hair, but I've heard stories of my balding friends willing to try anything. More »

Philips Wants to Help You Ditch That Unibrow
Hey, missing link. Yeah, I'm talking to you. That unibrow ain't doing you any favors. Yeah, I know, it's embarrassing to talk about your awkwardly placed hair, but you shouldn't feel ashamed. Masculine grooming has become more acceptable now that companies are brazenly selling back shavers, and getting rid of your unibrow is much less shameful than getting your back shaved on the internet.

On-the-Hoof Grooming for Japan's Sweating, Stinking Salaryman Armies
Although it has a deserved reputation for being an effortlessly clean place, Japan sometimes stinks to high heaven, especially in those packed commuter trains clich d movies like Lost in Translation go to town on (metaphorically, y'know?). More »

LA-Tweeze Flashlight Tweezers
Being the hairy, borderline cannibalistic males that we are, you'd think we would know more about tweezer technology. Alas, our unibrows sit shamefully below our thick, protruding foreheads, taunting us to pluck it. More »

Moore's Law for Razor Blades: 14 Blades by 2100
Those of you who did a spit-take when Gillette announced their five blade Fusion razor last year because you remembered The Onion predicting it would happen from the year before, you should appreciate that someone at The Economist not only wondered whether or not there was a Moore's Law for razor blades but actually worked on the graph you see to the right. If the (admittedly few) five data points we have hold, we should be shaving ourselves with fourteen blades by the 2100. More »
