Muehle Shave Sets
Shaving hasn’t changed much over the centuries, until recently. No longer do you use a single blade to cut hairs; now everybody tries to see who can fit the most blades into the smallest plastic cartridge. Those cartridges are very expensive, leading to people trying to economize by using the same blade far longer than they should. A lot of people have re-discovered the old razors used by their fathers or grandfathers, and they have switched to the old single, replaceable blade razors. Some people use vintage razors that have been cleaned and sanitized, others prefer newly manufactured “double edge” razors. Shoebox Shave Shop offers a nice set for the man or woman who wants to give double-edge shaving a try. These Muehle sets come with a double-edge razor and a pure badger brush – because you can’t experience a great shave without a nice lather. The sets are on sale now for $99, and they include a stand to dry your razor and brush on after use. Shoebox Shave Shop also sells the razor blades you’ll need; they only cost a few cents per blade, so you won’t have to use them for weeks to get your money’s worth.

Bayite Fitbit Charge 2 Stainless Steel Milanese Loop Bracelet
If you like the Milanese Loop band for Apple Watches, perhaps you’d like to try one with your Fitbit Charge 2.

It would be a contender for a sweat-proof band if you don’t like the plastic band that comes standard on the Charge 2.
