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.

There’s a reason the first successful smart specs look like they’re from the 1950s. That extra thickness isn’t just retro flair, it’s hiding a processor and a battery. But that technical constraint creates a creative opportunity: In the right frame, smart tech can disappear. And transforming functional, medical-grade eyewear—like prescription glasses—into stylish, mass-market fashion accessories…
