Vibrator + Razor = Eek!

Razor? Good. Vibrator? Good? Vibrating Razor? Also fine. But that's not what this is:

"It's Just Like Shaving With Your Finger"

The post title is what some dude says when describing how the rolling razor, a "revolutionary" new razor works. Which doesn't make any sense, because honestly? I have have no fram of reference for shaving with my finger. It's like saying, "You know, it's just like eating with your knees."

Anyway, there's a video for sexy ladies, and a video for cool dudes, which I'll post below. The Rolling Razor comes in a variety of colors and styles. Oh, and there's this "awesome new pomegranate shaving cream for women," at least according to the sexy lady video:

Feel Good Razor Holders

We certainly love to hate our little men here at Modern Materialist. Whether they’re getting pelted with knives (twice!), or splatted under a coffee mug, the little dudes always seem to be in some sort of terrible danger.

What a nice change of pace, then, to see a little man doing nothing but holding up your razor for you. The Feel Good Razor Holder attaches to the wall by suction cup, and, well, holds your razor. That’s it.

Actually, it occurs to me that this guy has a sharp razor mere centimeters from his face, and the one below, same for his crotch. Maybe this isn’t such a change of pace, after all?

Check out another design, after the jump:

about the blogger

Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.

Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

Steph Auteri is a freelance just-about-everything, with a special fondness for home goods she can't afford. She has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press and Nerve. She runs the blog selfhelpme.net, and her work can be found at stephiswrite.com.

Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.
