Shave in Style

Posted on by

cu_01

The Cu Shaver is the perfect alternative for guys who are too style-minded for boring disposable razor but enjoy the convenience of a cartridge razor. Unlike other overly stylized razors with bulky handles and gimmicky hinging mechanisms, the Cu shaver offers a more elegant look and improved shaving performance with a single piece pressed copper frame. Viewed from the side, the product appears barely there with only a single millimeter thin, continuous line of copper. A perfect balance of form and function, it’s also more ergonomic and maintains close contact with the skin thanks to its flexibility.

The World’s “Best Razor” Costs $300

Posted on by

smOneBlade_Study_03_rev21

So how do you justify charging someone $300 for a razor. Let’s see. The OneBlade Razor is made from German stainless steel, PVD coated for corrosion resistance, hand-polished, Teflon coated springs… heck even the blade is supposed to be some fancy Platinum-coated Japanese Feather blade. It only uses the one blade, hence the name, and is a limited edition item that’s meant to be passed down generation to generation. Replacement blades work out to about $1 each. And if you feel like you’re not spending enough money this way, the company even has a “Collector’s Edition” razor for a cool $1,000. That one’s numbered, so you know you’re getting something special.

Hey, what’s the point in having too much money if you can’t find items to purchase that the common mortal can’t?

You Can Now Get A Close Shave With LASERS

Posted on by

skarp-2

The game of shaving hasn’t changed much in a few thousand years. But in the technological age, isn’t it about time we took a look at that? The Skarp Laser Razor uses a laser to shave. That’s right, a laser! The device itself looks somewhat like a regular razor, but it packs a specially calibrated laser that is able to instantly cut through hair.

Wavelengths of light had already been discovered that could cut through dark hair, but finding a way to cut light hair was proving incredibly difficult.

After years of research & development, the makers discovered a chromophore in the hair that would be cut when hit with a particular light wavelength.

Chromophores are particles that absorb certain wavelengths (colors) of light.

This chromophore they identified is shared by every human, regardless of age, gender or race.

The Skarp Laser Razor promises a close shave, with no scratches, no razor burn, no need for water or shaving cream. You’ll be able to shave at the same speed you always do, and you can even do it in the shower. One AAA battery lasts about one year, and the laser itself has a life of 50,000 hours. It’s low power so it doesn’t present a danger for your eyes and no, it won’t create a burnt smell as it does its thing.

To get your own, you’ll have to pledge $189 and wait until March 2016 for delivery.

Skarp Laser Razor Never Needs Blades and Won’t Nick Your Kiwis

Posted on by

I know no one who actually likes to shave. I’ve tried everything from old school safety razors to electric razors to disposable razors with blades that cost $15 for three. They all suck and leave my skin burning after the fact.

lazer-razor-1zoom in

I’m totally down with trying the new Skarp Laser Razor. It shaves your face with a laser that is safe for your eyes and won’t cut your skin. Let that last part sink in, the laser won’t leave behind any irritation or nicks after you shave, if the folks behind the project are to be believed anyway. If you’re the sort who shaves your kiwis, that is perhaps the best news ever.

The laser is good for 50,000 hours and runs for a month on a single AAA battery. It’s makers even say it’s waterproof and can be used in the shower.

The project has already destroyed its Kickstarter goal with over $661,000 raised at the time of writing. A pledge of $159 (USD) or more will get you a Skarp Laser Razer by March 2016 if all goes well. I’m in.

Caffeinated Shaving Products Kick Start Your Mornings

Can you even absorb caffeine through your skin? We’re not sure, but we’re going to assume you can because otherwise we’re not sure what the point of this product is. Caffeinated Shaving Cream and After Shave from Pacific Shaving Company are two products that claim to help give your morning a bit of a kickstart thanks to the addition of caffeine to their panoply of other moisturizers, antioxidants, and related ingredients. Apparently caffeine will serve as a vasoconstrictor, tightening your blood vessels and helping your skin look smoother a less red. And yeah, they claim caffeine is indeed absorbed through the skin, although we can’t imagine you’ll be able to replace your morning coffee with your shaving routine anytime soon.

Still, something interesting to try, if only because it’s $16 for the set.

What’s The Easiest Way To Shave Your Head?

Posted on by

Headblade-ATX-All-Terrain-Head-Razor-1

With this cool HeadBlade ATX All Terrain Head Razor, of course. At least, we imagine that if you’re going to go for the completely bald look, you could do much worse than by using the above product. It’s a blade mounted on an ergonomic handle, which also features wheels. It looks like a mini ATV, and you’re meant to roll it around your noggin for a little bit, until you’ve no hairs left. The handle is rubberized, for comfort and convenience, and while it isn’t the first such product on the market, we haven’t seen one with wheels before. We imagine this contributes to a no-nick, no-cut shave. It’s $15 and comes with one blade.

A Tribute to the True Shave Masters

Posted on by

As men age, they almost always switch to electric razors as a safety precaution. However, the electric razor options are limited to the same ones a younger person would use despite major differences in skin. The Philips Master Shave is the result of thoughtful study and interviews with elderly men who expressed frustration with modern razors’ inability to tackle loose or wrinkled skin as well as difficulty cleaning. The result is one that gives independence back to the individual. More after the jump —>

The design gives independence back to the individual by utilizing customized ergonomics and a shaving head system adapted for their unique skin.

The shields in the front and back of the shaver retract when the slide in the back is depressed with the thumb. When placed under running water, whiskers are simply flushed out. This eliminates the need to remove the entire shaving head or release it using small tabs.

In current Philips models, each of the three rotary heads have a separate foil, leading to inconsistent pressure over the surface area of the shaving head. A unified shaving foil offers a solution to the problems encountered when the elderly shave over loose and wrinkled skin. A thin filament remains between foil sections to allow for flexing when needed.
