Philips Norelco 1050CC Arcitec Men’s Electric Shaving System
I love this electric razor as it gives me the most comfortable and fast shave I’ve ever had. I use it with both water and Electric Pre-Shave (Williams Pre Electric) though it says not to do so! $173.99 New Click Here
Official Product Description: Offering a 360 degree swiveling shaving head and a state-of-the art sleek design, arcitec is the most advanced Philips Norelco shaver yet. Compared to other Philips Norelco shavers, arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer. The unique flex & pivot technology delivers an exceptionally close shave. Three individually flexing shaving heads are connected by a ball joint system making them swivel, rotate, and pivot with a full range of motion. The maneuverability allows arcitec to adjust to the contours of your face ensuring optimum skin contact and a closer shave – even on the neck. The new arcitec Shaver is designed to push the boundaries of shaving and to conquer those hard to shave areas. Cutting edge innovation doesn’t stop with the shaver. The arcitec 1050CC comes with a Jet Clean system, to keep it clean between shaves – it automatically detects which cleaning program the shaver needs: economy, normal or intensive, and it has active drying to have your shaver ready to go in no time. Beyond cleaning, now you can recharge your shaver while you store it, with the Power Pod travel case that plugs into the wall and protects your investment! For those sideburns, goatees and moustaches, the new patented precision tube trimmer cuts hairs closer to the skin. This improved performance is due to the tube cutting system moving back and forth capturing every hair. All of these improvements and new introductions make it possible for you to conquer your neck to look and feel your best! Chart your course with the new Philips Norelco arcitec and be confident you’re getting a perfectly close shave – even on the neck.

IZIP Hg-1000 Electric Bike
I own this combination electric scooter and bicycle and for me its perfect for 16-18 mile round trips while I use the Fusion 1000 for local trips/errands. It actually seems to go much faster when you both peddle (the resistance is light) and use the throttle at the same time. You do not need a license to ride it in most cities and I ride it on the street in bike lanes or the farthest right side of the street. It is a bit harder going uphill but this is perfect for my needs. I attached a speedometer to it and I’ve gotten it as fast as 28 mph! I recommend always charging it up for 12 hours $749 New Click Here

The Wire – The Complete First Season DVD Set
The Wire was one of the greatest TV Series ever that unfortunately many people missed because it was on HBO. It was incredibly well acted, well directed and well written, telling the story of Baltimore drug crime from all ends of the spectrum: The dealers, the users, the lawyers, the police and the politicians with never a dull moment. There were 5 Seasons total and this first Season was one of the best. $39.26 New Click Here
Official Product Description: Product Description
From David Simon, creator and co-writer of HBO’s triple Emmy-winning mini-series The Corner, this unvarnished, highly realistic HBO series follows a single sprawling drug and murder investigation in Baltimore. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance, where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn. Running Time: 780 min.

Official Product Description: Balancing classic hallmarks of timepiece design with sleek contemporary flourishes, this slim Movado SE (Sports Edition) Swiss quartz women’s watch is a great choice for your active lifestyle, but it also gilds the lily with glittering diamond accents. The bezel is ringed with swaths of sparkling tiny white diamonds, which are broken up by a single Movado trademark dot. The silver watch case smoothly integrates with the triple link stainless steel bracelet band, which also includes the single dot motif on on the brushed links in the center column.
Featuring the utterly recognizable, minimalist look of the Museum Watch, made famous by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, its black dial includes just the signature single dotted marker at 12 o’clock–evocative of a sun dial–and two sword-shaped hands. Powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, it also features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, hidden butterfly deployment clasp and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)–enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.
