A hangover kit is a great idea, but fuck a bunch of paying $90 for the “Hangover Helper Set”, even if it does include some interesting products:
• Nickel Morning After Rescue Gel: Facial shock treatment for when waking up is way too difficult.
• Menaji 911 Eye Gel: Minimizes those “I was plastered last night” eye [...]

Every year on St. Patrick’s Day, the denizens of Shamrock, Texas, have a beard-off. Not just any beard will do: to enter, citizens must grow a “Donegal,” [fig. 1] the proud chin strap made famous by the Amish and Robot Abraham Lincoln.

Shaving Stuff reviews (in two parts) the contents of the “Urth Travel Kit,” a “TSA-Compliant” travel kit for men that includes Urth-brand face wash, scrub, shave formula, and face balm.
