The Braun BodyCruzer is a full body groomer, a water-proof electrical trimmer with a Gillette’s Fusion razor built-in for all-purpose shaving. I will keep my manly latino chest intact, thank you very much. [Uncrate]
This isn’t the 70′s anymore guys. Excessive body hair and gold medallions are no longer acceptable. There are gadgets out there designed to handle the job, but the Swerve provides a more ergonomic solution.
For those in the audience who have really, and we mean really, scratchy backs, the cactus back scratcher should do the trick. That green tip is no gimmick; that’s 100% real Arizona cactus bud if we’ve ever seen it (and we have, friends). So if you purchase this $US10 therapeutic device, scratch your back and still feel itchy, it’s probably time to seek medical attention. There’s no hope for you and those wounds need to be tended to.

After the Goatee Saver, I thought that I had seen it all. But no…there is more where that came from. Check out this Slim Trim razor from designer James McAdam. The caliper mechanism promises a mathematically proportional shave every time. Sure, that makes sense with sideburns and Hitler mustaches, but you have to think bigger—more artistic. How about carving some intricate geometric designs into your stubble? Yeah…your face would be like a blank canvas every couple of days. Maybe even twice a day if you are one seriously hairy dude.

Toothbrush-like contraptions that spray water into your teeth holes have been around for years, but Philips’ new patent has several innovations that makes sure you don’t blast your gums into submission. The spray head has probes that can detect how far away it is from your teeth, ensuring optimum distance.
As a guy who’s no stranger to buzz cuts (I even tested the Flowbee once) I can say that this Remington ShortCut seems like quite a nice invention. It’s got one of five length settings, plus is self-curved for your round noggin. The shape of the thing makes it easier to hold, like a brush, than the standard clippers we’ve all been using. There’s even a “balding comb” attachment which supposedly gives the closest cut ever from an electric clipper. Get yours for US$29, or upgrade to the high-end chrome for US$39. [Remington via Gizmag]
Anyone into heart-shaped boxes need look no further than the Just Kittyng Kit. In it is all the gear you need to turn your girlfriend’s lady-garden into something more, shall we say, ornamental. It’s got a bunch of stencils so that when you choose to transform her bush into a heart, star or arrow, it won’t look like something that Salvador Dali did. The three shapes are dull-arse dull, though. Whoever is behind this US$36 thing needs to start thinking outside the box. [Makeup.com via ALBOTAS]
UK based design firm PostlerFerguson’s line of “Life Machines” was born “with the question of how an aging population’s needs can be met through technology.” They sought to design “domestic objects that reflect the needs of both machines and humans.” Apparently, they feel that a symbiotic relationship between aging man and machine is defined by an old man’s desire to euthanise himself and a robot’s desire to kill. Thankfully, these are just concepts. Additional photo after the break.

In our first hairless wonderland feature, we took a look at how you could rid your entire body of hair using three simple gadgets. The Mangroomer, the Flowbee and the Philips Bodygroom allows you to make sure your back, head and crotchular regions are free of any unslightly plumage. But what about the most important part of your body; the part that everyone looks at during a conversation (no, not your jiblets—and the Bodygroom has that covered)? Yes, we’re talking about the face. And with the Braun Pulsonic or the Gillette Fusion Power Phantom, you can be sure your mug is as glossy as the top of Patrick Stewart’s head.
If you can’t stand the thought of a buzzing, whining electric contraption grinding away at your face every morning, maybe this new Art of Shaving Fusion Chrome Collection Power Razor with a tiny spotlight is just the face-scraping utensil you’ve been looking for. The luxury razor company teamed up with blademaker Gillette for this handle that fits the company’s cartridge razor blades, and its heavy chrome and resin construction gives it a hefty high-quality feel. But this blade-shaving routine seems like a lot of trouble. Let’s talk blade vs. electric.
