I’ve combed through countless hot tools, dental devices, and skin care gadgets to find the best Prime Day beauty deals. We’ve tested everything here and would vouch for…
Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Leaf Single-Edge Razor Lately my favorite kind of shaving is the same kind my grandfather would have found familiar: A single very sharp blade. I’ve been lathering shave soap with a brush and bowl—and shaving with an old-fashioned single-blade, single-edge, unmedicated safety razor. Specifically, I’m using the Leaf Thorn (8/10, WIRED Recommends)….
This credit has been in place since the passage of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), but it was removed as part of a new budget reconciliation bill, aka the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

When you eat too much sugar or refined flour, your blood sugar (glucose) levels spike and then drop quickly. That can make you feel tired or shaky. Stick with…
Other Antennas We Tested One for All Amplified (16662) Photograph: Ryan Waniata One for All Amplified (16662) for $100-$120: This sphere-shaped antenna isn’t bad, just surprisingly expensive. The first time I scanned for channels it found nearly all available, including multiple NextGen channels, and offered clear and stable reception. It proved slightly inconsistent upon channel…
Protect Those Headphones Satechi 2-in-1 Headphone Stand Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Even durable headphones are easy to damage. We have lost pairs to folks standing on them, cats and robot vacuums attacking the cables, and chairs rolling over them. I have learned that a stand or holder is worth the investment if it keeps those cans…
