Rituals
While we all have a unique routine when it comes to skincare, haircare, beauty and grooming, one thing is universal: these practices can become like rituals. Each season seems to bring its own weather-related woes, and countless products promise to buff, puff, nourish and soothe. From scents to scrubs, sunscreen to soaks, we have rounded up some of our favorite effective potions, lotions and indulgent items.

Philos Coffee Grinder
Philos Coffee Grinder
Mazzer’s Philos is a compact, single-dose flat-burr grinder engineered for people who care as much about precision as they do ritual. Milled from dense metal and tuned for minimal retention, it shifts seamlessly between espresso and filter, delivering clean, expressive extractions with every dose. Its 64mm burrs—available in clarity-forward or body-driven profiles—create a surprisingly versatile range, while the convertible stepped/stepless dial keeps adjustments controlled and repeatable. Quiet, weighty and built with Mazzer’s characteristic durability, the Philos brings professional-grade performance into a footprint that feels at home on any design-minded countertop.

Nomad Jogger
Nomad Jogger
Merino wool is a natural fiber with seemingly magical properties: its superfine texture feels soft on the skin while wicking away moisture and regulating body temperature. Ibex’s Nomad Jogger, made from a merino French terry with a touch of stretch, has a luxurious, almost slinky feel that won’t overheat on a hike or a binge session on the couch. Available in both women’s and men’s sizing, these joggers are lighter —and arguably more comfortable — than an average pair of cotton jersey sweatpants, making them an ideal, space-saving choice for travel.

The Single Edge Max Razor
The Single Edge Max Razor
Our journey to simplify the environmental impact of our routines led us to Supply and their Singe Edge Max Razor. We love it for its minimal and aesthetic design, and even more for its performance. It has to give you a great shave as a starting point, and all of our trials easily passed that test. Powered by the brand’s small blades (about 1/3 the height of a standard blade), it’s about the smallest you can engineer to get the job done. Each blade can be used for a week or so, and when it’s time to exchange it you pop it into the case and rotate the nob on the case to dispense a new one. The razor is aluminum and zinc, easily recycled when you retire it. Great performance and design, with a lower environmental impact. This set comes with the razor, a set of eight refill blades and a wall mount. Other kits are available with additional items.

Quartz Crystal Pocket Boutonniere
Quartz Crystal Pocket Boutonniere
This pocket boutonniere is an ethereal twist on formalwear detail—a cluster of clear quartz crystals meticulously arranged on a low‑profile bar that slips into a suit breast pocket. No piercing, no pin, no damage to fabric—just sleek geology meeting sartorial constructs. The translucent, jagged quartz spires catch light, adding an unexpected flash of natural sparkle that contrasts the clean lines of a tailored jacket. It’s a subtle statement piece, marrying artisanal design and wearable crystal energy with ease and elegance.

Fingernail Cutter
Fingernail Cutter
EDJY has reimagined the nail clipper, a tool largely unchanged since the 1880s, by introducing a single-blade design that cuts cleanly rather than crushing. This innovation eliminates jagged edges and the need for post-trim filing, while an integrated cavity collects clippings to prevent mess. Crafted in Michigan, EDJY’s cutters are made from high-hardness stainless steel and have been tested for over 150,000 cycles to ensure durability. The ergonomic design positions the lever closer to the blade for enhanced control, and a safety-tested blade stop protects the nail bed. By combining precision engineering with sustainable, American-made manufacturing, EDJY offers a thoughtful upgrade to a daily grooming essential.
