A Brief History of the Filibuster
With all this talk about Rand Paul’s 13-hour filibuster, obnoxiously referred to as the #filiblizzard, I felt compelled to write about the history of the filibuster technique and obstructionist tactics in general. Basically, a filibuster is when someone (usually in Senate/Parliament) talks for a really long time to either delay a vote or stop the...
Jean-Paul Sartre’s “No Exit”
Jean-Paul Sartre’s work, “No Exit” is a play about three people who are sentenced to hell and forced to spend the rest of eternity in the same Second French Empire decorated room without the luxury of their eyelids.

Clear Men Scalp Therapy Shampoo
When Unilever wanted to send me some of their new Clear Men Scalp Therapy shampoo, I was pretty skeptical.

The Dreadnought double edge blades come in this really awesome plastic razor housing, and you can slide them out one at a time. I definitely love this, and I’m going to keep it for when I travel....
Dreadnought Avenger Shaving Brush

However, if you’ve ever looked around at the price of some of the options, you might be discouraged to start wet shaving because you don’t want to drop around $25, just under $50, or even $60 on a shaving brush. Yikes. However, there are some more affordable options out...
Dreadnought Cut Throat Razor
By now, if you’re a regular reader, you will remember hearing the name “Dreadnought” multiple times in the past. As one of my honorable mentions for 2012, UK-based Dreadnought is one of my favorite shaving companies out there. Not too long ago they sent me a Dreadnought cut throat razor (or a “shavette”–but cut throat...
The March Playlist
February is already over? That was fast. Oh well, that doesn’t bother me all that much because spring is almost here and we can put this annoying cold weather behind us for another year. In the spirit of the change of seasons into something more enjoyable, here is the March Playlist: five songs I can’t...
