As guys, finding a face wash that doesn’t have scent names like “Passionate Pomegranate” and “Morning Burst” is actually harder than you think. Cetaphil($11) is here to help. Most skin cleansers remove more than they should with abrasive sand-like particles, but Cetaphil gently removes what your skin doesn’t need. It’s actually a #1 recommended product by dermatologists, but the best part of all is that it doesn’t make you smell like a piece of fruit. Available at most drugstores.

There’s nothing better than a nice glass of wine. With that being said, here is a wine opener that has been put through vigorous testing against all models of its kind and has come out on top. As the name implies, The Best Corkscrew earned the highest rating in terms of quickness and ease of use. Little effort? Yeah we like that, especially when it comes to alcohol. After a few bottles of wine, being able to open them easily is crucial.
Void watches have just introduced the new V02BL($200) wristwatch. The V02BL basically takes how you normally read analog watches and throws it right out the window. Created with a half dial double handed twist the V02BL is definitely unique. Rather than the hands flying back when they reach the end there are a separate set of hands that are concealed on the top half of the dial. Once the hand comes off of the left edge the new hand creeps in from the right side. Reading this is actually quite simple. The red hand denotes minutes while the white hand denotes hours. Void managed to put a new twist on this retro dashboard design. The V02BL is also made in steel gray, polished, and gold.
The Cycloc Bicycle Storage is an easy solution to conveniently get your bike out of the way and to free up some space. Designed to pretty much hold almost any kind of bike, the Cycloc only needs three screws to mount and instantly get your bike off the floor. It also has a hole to run a lock through, and a bucket-like design to hold your gear as well. The whack thing about this though, it’s basically $130 dollars for a “plastic bucket”. It’s insane but definitely a clever idea that is simply too expensive.
Taking some styling queues from 1970’s basketball shoes, Onitsuka Tiger developed these low profile kicks. The Coolidge Lo($70) is built with brown tweed, brown leather uppers, and white leather accents. Not pictured in this photo is the bright orange hexagon styled sole. Also available in all sorts of color combinations.
The first thing about this jacket that caught our eye was the color, a unique shade of brown/burnt orange. We always can appreciate something original, and the Heritage Research Longline Parka definitely represents a very original color. This parka features wax Millerain cotton, drawstring peaked hood, and leather toggles. In addition to those features, this jacket includes zip fastening storm flaps, button adjustable cuffs, and pockets.
Spyderco has done something pretty interesting with their Mule Team($20) line of blades. The Mule Team series is a set of knives that are crafted using experimental and exotic steels to allow knife lovers to test them out and use something that’s not typically offered by the industry. Spyderco purposely leaves these blades handleless to give an aspect of DIY for enthusiasts. Holes have been drilled to allow for custom handles or cord wrapping. The Mule Team series is released every year in limited runs of about 600 pieces. Each run is made with a different type of steel. For this particular run 9CR18MO steel was forged into the blade above.
Surefire typically comes to mind when looking for a powerful and compact flashlight, and they did it right with the G2($39). The G2’s body and bezel is built with a ruggedized corrosion proof material called Nitrolon. This little guy packs a major punch ranking in at up to 120 lumens (with a P61 lamp). Measuring in at 5.10″ long and 1.25″ in diameter and weighing a mere 4.1 ounces, the G2 is practically pocketable. The G2 is operated by a rear button tactical push for on and twist to stay on style switch. Available in the four colors seen (black, yellow, tan, and green).
