Has anyone backed anything else (non-denim) from Kickstarter? I gave Leonard & Church watches a go, ended up with #19 on their models.

It's not clothing or accessories, but my only other KS backing was a Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator. I love it. It's the only way I cook steaks now.

It's great for perfectly poached eggs, medium rare pork, and juicy boneless skinless chicken. |

EJ's are nice, as are Merkurs. My Merkur HD is my go-to travel razor (just have to buy blades when you get there or mail them ahead). The modern creations are nice, and the KS campaign looks interesting, but this is really simple technology that I don't believe can benefit from much more innovation. Innovations are certainly possible, but with the variety and legacy of wetshaving equipment out there, I think everyone's perfect razor is out there, somewhere. I understand the bias against the "Best a Man Can Get," but my absolute favorite razors are old, vintage Gillettes. Their new stuff shaves well, but I avoid them out of principle. I have a large collection of British Aristocrats, Rockets, Slims, Fat Boys, and I keep 'em at home because I don't want to damage them and know getting a replacement is always a crapshoot on eBay. The only vintage razor I travel with is my British Aristocrat 58 since it's already pretty beat up. If any of you are just getting in to razors (or flashlights, or knives), I suggest you get a reliable starter (such as the Merkur HD) and then maybe a mid-level razor or two.. when you have experience and feel enough to identify your grail razor, skip straight to it. In my experience, buying everything in between while lusting after the grail is a waste of money. You're going to get it eventually, anyway.. resistance is futile. You'll find yourself thinking, "man.. I could have gotten that Rhodium Gillette Executive for what I paid for these five Superspeeds.." I've just started using a double edge I think we need a shaving thread We can do that if folks want it! |

See, when it comes to watches, I want watch people to look at my arm and go "damn, is that a ...?" And, I want to look at my arm and have something that makes me all giddy. Those watches, while a nice looking "I'm an accountant" watch, don't get me excited. I want a manual, big and sexy watch. Something I'm not likely to see anywhere else when I'm out. |

Old26 so what do you have? I'd imagine something in the 46mm range at least based on how you compare yourself to a giant. I can't go that big with my small wrists. I stay with my two Speedmasters and hope to eventually add a 43mm Navitimer, JL Reverso, or Tag Monaco, but those are all fairly common watches as far as swiss watches and manual watches go.

Most are 42mm. I've had larger, but I didn't care for them. Mine are also mainly "tall" or thick. It's hard to wear with some things for sure. When that's the case, I don't wear one. Little watches I just don't like on me... |

exophobeCoffemaker looks ok. Its impossible to say tho because it will rely on presicion. It is basically a chemex with more control tho so using it in this fashion there is not alot that can go wrong. I do question how much better it can get then the wilfa by wendelboe but it is also just a tenth of the price (but then again the wilfa black includes the boiler). Iam interested but will not back it until someone with cred says something positive. The aeropress is the only other device that cuts it (aside from the wilfa black and a fullblown espresso machine) but its also only because its possible to use it upside down, if this wasnt possible it would be crap. Time will tell but keep us posted, its just fifty bucks.
