SCIENCE and MECHANICS is a Magazine from the 60′s, “The Magazine that shows you how” on Mechanics and other Hobbies and Science projects. I used to read this as a kid in the Dentist or Doctors office. This post is the follow-up to Primp & Preen Vol. 01 which was about essential grooming products , now you have the guide to getting a proper shave in 10 minutes. Great for the traveling man.

As I mentioned early this year, we are doing the branding and marketing for a new building (174 Jackson Street, Williamsburg Brooklyn, NY) This set is some of the great swipe we found during the research stages. “Touch the past in order to craft the future.” Enjoy!
