The problem with cameras, when traveling, is three-fold: bulk, batteries, and storage.

Are you one of those travelers that must bring a laptop, iPod, and digital camera with you at all times?

They say that the key to success for any start-up venture is passion and coffee (when they say “coffee” they probably mean “late nights” but I’m taking it literal here).

Whenever products have bonus words in the title, like extreme razors, ultimate lash curlers or turbo hair dryers, I am immediately suspicious.

When traveling through Osaka, Japan, I thought I finally found my dream multi-tool in Den-Den Town (the electronics district). Called the “Windmill Field-Max,” it incorporates a whistle, liquid-filled compass, magnifying glass, and LED flashlight in a small brushed-metal package.

It is small, fairly light, has a great feature in that the case swivels around to cover the blade (you’ll have to see pictures to understand), and most importantly, it shaves just fine.
