Pacific Shaving Oil
by Josh Rubin
This may seem a bit off-topic, but trust me, it's good.
I hate shaving. I only do it once a week-- it's uncomfortable, time consuming and if done frequently the resulting irritation is rather unattractive. Enter Pacific Shaving Oil. Several drops of this magic potion is way more effective than anything I've used before. I get a quick, smooth shave and the bottle is tiny, therefor travel friendly. It's only $7 per bottle and has all natural ingredients. Very nice.
Egon Eiermann
by Evan Orensten
An extensive retrospective of the work of famed German modernist architect Egon Eiermann is currently underway in Berlin (and will be moving to Nuremberg next). Celebrating his birth 100 years ago, the show documents his buildings, including the German embassay in Washington, D.C., the Parliamentary Office Tower in Bonn, and his sleek and practical interiors and furniture designs. Perhaps more than any other architect he helped Germany become part of the International school of architecture, leaving the ominous Third Reich aesthetic far behind. Can't make it to the show? Check out the catalog.
