…It’s Thing Thursday: Rolling Razor?

Rolling Razor

The Rolling Razor is a new type of razor that uses two opposing heads to shave “in multiple directions with a single stroke”. Also, having both heads allows you to shave both with and against the grain in fewer strokes for a closer shave.

Available in both men’s and women’s styles, it’s designed to give you a faster and easier shave, and with an innovative handle, it “puts you in control”.

The Rolling Razor might not go Mach 3, but your face and body probably won’t mind.

…The Splinter is real?

Splinter

Remember the Splinter, the all wood supercar that looked like nothing more than a clever design mock up?

Apparently it’s quite a bit more than that, as Joe Harmon Design has begun fabrication, and the body is already starting to take shape.

The car’s frame and driveline are based on a central rigid tube section with the suspension and other necessary parts from a C4 Corvette mounted to it. However, as much as possible will be kept in wood form for authenticity’s sake.

The engine is a Northstar V8 run backwards, with the exhaust and intake sides switched around. Intakes sit underneath the cylinder banks, and two roots style superchargers feed air in through individual intercoolers

The wooden component fabrication process includes building a mold/frame, and then laminating layers of veneer into the desired shape.

Check out the site for more details, including live webcam shots and a building blog.

…Mustangs need more Vanquish V12?

Sure, you could coat your Mustang in the body of an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, but it’s still going to be American muscle on the inside, right?

Apparently not, as one crafty ‘stang owner has managed to find room for the Vanquish’s V12 motor between the wheel wells of an already tastily modified pony.

Check out the video for more info, including the exhaust sound that was never supposed to come out of a car costing less than $100,000:

…ColorWare lets you customize your guitar?

Guitar Hero

Sure, getting your console colored is all fine and dandy, but if you really want to make an impression at your next gaming get together, pulling out a customized ColorWare Guitar Hero Gibson is definitely one way of doing it.

The company that normally specializes in consoles has taken its talents and applied them to the guitar, and the results are surprisingly good looking.

Everything from the body and the neck to the strum bar and buttons can be customized, so you can rock out in your color scheme of choice.

I just want to paint it black…

…It’s Tuner Tuesday: Vasily Lazarenko’s Wooden Car?

Vasily Lazarenko’s Wooden Car

You might not call Vasily Lazarenko a common car craftsman, but it’s hard not to call him a tuner.

That’s because Vasily not only carved his entire car body out of wood, but he actually carved two different cars, one for each side. Thus, the right side has a “retro” look, while the left side is more “modern”.

It might not burn up the track (burning is the last thing this car needs) but like it or not, it’ll definitely turn heads.

…Victoria’s Secret’s Fashion Show is coming?

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is a way for the company to show you what you could look like if you had a million dollar body, a personal lingerie stylist…and wings.

While it’s really just a way for the company to get some relatively cheap publicity, it’s also a chance to see some of the most beautiful women in the world in their undies, so I’ll gladly give them a little link love as a way of saying thanks.

…The RENNtech/Aixro XR50 is a quick kart?

RENNtech/Aixro XR50

RENNtech is known for making Benzmobiles go like rocketships, and the Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722 GT makes 671 horsepower, but for true speed, you need to check out the RENNtech/Aixro XR50, a kart with a 50 horsepower rotary engine that weighs little more than the driver itself.

Featuring body mods that mimic its bigger brother, the XR50, which sits just inches off the ground, is probably one of the most fun (and most scary) means of four-wheel transportation ever created.

Just remember: Keep it rubber side down.

…Running should be spiced up?

Running

Running is great for the body, but if you’re only doing it at one speed, then you’re missing out on not only a better workout, but a less boring one as well.

To combat this problem, Zen Habits has put together 10 Great Workouts To Spice Up Your Running Program. They’ll keep things interesting, make you run faster and stronger, help you run longer, and stop your body from adapting, which all sound good to me.

…Furniture can get tattoos too?

Tattoo Furniture

Here’s an interesting idea for leather furniture: Tattoo it.

Designers Marie Rahm and Monica Singer of Polka have teamed up with tattoo artist Gert Kowarzik to do just that, and the result is a beautiful piece of punk art.

If you want tattoo style but fear permanent body alterations, then check out tattoo furniture, because it might not get you into a biker bar, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

…Tattoos can be terrible?

Tattoo

Sand & Cotton’s “You’re Getting WHAT? Tattoo’ed WHERE?” is now in its second installment, and continues to be a source of grotesquely interesting tattoo art that people choose to adorn their body with (though sometimes I hope it was done drunkenly/mistakenly). There are definitely some unique designs, though I don’t know that I’d ever want to see one of them on my own skin.
