tesa Insect Stop – Adhesive Fly Screen for Use in Holiday or Rented Home

Travel Light – Titan Razor with Shaving Cream Reservoir

A shaving can with enough cream for you to shave 50 times is simply unnecessary when you’re going away for just a few days.

This Titan razor helps you to travel light and efficiently.

Videotape your Journey as Proof in Case of a Traffic Accident

Even when you have a minor car accident and you’re confident that it’s the other person’s fault, it can happen that your insurance rejects the claim. Even if you’re well insured, this can occur in situations where it’s your word against the other’s and there are no witnesses who can back your version of the events that led to the accident. With the current costs of labor and spare parts, even the smallest of collisions can set you back $500 or more. A few new products are around that make sure you always have a friendly “witness” on the road with you, by videotaping your car journey to prove you’re telling the truth and that it’s the other guy’s fault. We take a closer look at three products in different price categories: the CarCam Voyager, the Rearview Mirror Car Camera Recorder, and the T-eye In-Car Driving Recording System. The recorded evidence may make your average car accident attorney quite happy.

Travel Light, Save Space and Replace Your Shaving Cream with Shaving Oil

… or The Incredible Shrinking Shaving Foam Can

When backpacking, every ounce counts, and – just in case you might want to shave from time to time – that 10 oz shaving foam can is not what you’re looking for. And on overnight business trips, you might want to restrict yourself to hand luggage only, when that same can of shaving foam is just another nuisance making this harder to achieve. Worse still, the severe liquid restrictions that apply at airport security checks might get your can confiscated and see you take off with no can at all. So instead of taking a can, why not travel with shaving oil such as the one from Somersets or the Pacific Shaving Company?
