Phillips Norelco Vacuum Stubble and Beard Trimmer Pro

I’m kind of a gadget hoarder. This includes shavers because I definitely have more than a guy with barely any hair needs. I know why I ended up with all these shavers in the linen closet. It’s because I buy one and think it’s going to work great and after a while it stops performing … Continue Reading

How to Shave Chest Hair

We review the Philips Norelco Bodygroom. I said it somewhere else here on dadand.com that my typical approach to grooming has been “minimalist…actually, borderline survivalist.” Well, I was talking about smells in that post but now I’m talkin’ hair. You know, as you get older…the stuff that keeps showing up in every place except for … Continue Reading

Black & Decker 36v Lithium Cordless Outdoor Tools

Me and Marty have been friends for like 35 years. In that time we’ve probably created our own little hole in the ozone over Orlando. We’re junkies for anything gas-powered. Go-carts, motorcycles, 3-wheelers, scooters, cars, lawnmowers, weed-whackers, you name it, we’ve beaten on it. Another thing we know is lawn equipment. We’ve been using lawn … Continue Reading

And not a single tool on this one, unless you count the guy wearing the backpack we suggest below. Dove Men+Care I just spoke the gospel of Dove Men+Care in my … Continue Reading

Minimal Monday: Jigsaw Blade Case

You know Dadand likes tools. And stuff that goes with tools. The other day, I stopped at a home center that I don’t often visit. I was price checking some patio doors. And I decided to browse the tool section to compare their pricing to my usual home center. (Note: if a certain home center … Continue Reading

Need a gas mask? They had child and adult sizes.

You don’t have Skycraft.

You don’t have Skycraft, but you wish you did. Do you need a toggle switch with one of those red safety covers like they use when they launch rockets? Or how about an actual surplus rocket? You need Skycraft Parts & Surplus. I’ve been in Orlando for almost 35 years, and I think this place … Continue Reading

Dad Gift: Stocking Stuffers

A lot of the stuff I carry around as a dude and a dad is too small to be classified as a “real gift” so I put together a little list of gifts (in no particular order) that can be given as multiple small gifts rather than one large gift. 1. Husky Folding Utility Knife I’ve written … Continue Reading
