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.
This, my friends, is National’s Ferie facial shaver for ladies, available on Amazon Japan for around $30 bucks. It’s got two interchangeable blades, one for trimming your eyebrows, the other for “downy hair” (as opposed to “uppy hair,” I guess.) I don’t see anything wrong with a quick pluck, so this is not one for me &mdash although I can think of some alternative uses for it:
I am a surprisingly hairy man. All that hair needs the right tools to tame, trim, and shave. The three devices up to the task? The Mangroomer, the Philips Bodygroom, and the Flowbee have been around for a while and are great separately, but this is the first time that we’ve seen their full power unleashed together. Here’s how they stood up.
We just got our hands on one of the first Philips Norelco Cool Skin Model 840 razors, set to release in July. With its streamlined blue body and gray trim, along with its tripleheader cutters mounted atop a crazy looking stalk, this is a razor whose appearance is quite different from any we’ve ever seen.
Since we’re long-time electric razor users around here, we’ll be able to compare this $79.99 Cool Skin directly to Norelco’s earlier models, seeing if its design is just a pretty face or if it can actually outperform its predecessors. Blade users, this may not interest you much, but if you like electric razors, you’ll want to hear about what it’s like to use this new Cool Skin product. galleryPost('norelcocool', 8, 'Norelco Cool Skin');
Philips has just changed its Norelco razors into an almost unrecognizable form factor, and here’s the flagship, a razor called Arcitec that will be released later this year. It’s completely redesigned, made of carbon fiber, chrome and stainless steel, and it has an LCD screen that tells you how many minutes you have left until it’s time to charge it again.
Look at that odd 360-degree head that makes it easier to get at those pesky hairs on your neck, staying in constant contact with the skin and giving you a better grip at the same time. This high-end Arcitec will be $249.99, and the lower-end razor is $79.99. Peep at the gallery and then jump for more details about the cool-looking blue one.
