The Dollar Shave Club

This is maybe the funniest commercial I've ever seen paired with one of the most genius marketing strategies of my time. I can personally attest to the frustration of buying overpriced razor blade refill packs. I usually wind up buying those massive refill packs at Costco to save a few bucks. 

The razors are generic brand overstock the company probably purchases at a steep discount, but it appears that customers can count on getting the same blade each month, since what they send is a blade refill to go with the free handle delivered upon enrollment. They are not one-piece disposable razors.

I lie-ca this!

What photographer doesn't want a Leica of their very own? Probably not all those wanna-be portrait photographers who bought their SLR starter kits at Costco and make side cash snapping their friends' graduation photos for $50 a pop... But don't get me started on that. Back to Leica... or, well, in this case, Lie-ca!

Matt Nicholson is basically my hero as of five minutes ago when I discovered his website, where you and I can purchase the ten page .pdf download for assembling a Lie-ca M3 Pinhole Camera!

You're welcome, darlings. You're welcome.
