The iPad is an incredible thing. For the first time in history we can access the sum total of almost all we know about the universe with a click and a swipe. The only thing left to decide on is which case are you going to put it in so it doesn’t break when you clumsily drop it whilst reading The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
The Schoolhouse Electric Supply Co. is one of those stores I always come back to, they’re products have a fascinating, post-steampunk feel to them that you just won’t find anywhere else.

Shaving is one of those things that all men do, but some do better than others. This 3-piece set by Edwin Jagger looks for all the world like the kind of shaving gear you’d find in Sinatra’s backstage dressing room, it takes standard Gillette Mach 3 blades (making replacement blades easy to find) and that brush is made using 100% pure badger hair.
