Hot Deal: 50% Off Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV Nano Men's Wet/Dry Rechargeable Razor
Regularly $199.99, this electric razor is going for only $88.70, a savings of over $111.00!
"The Panasonic Arc IV Nanotech Shaver offers remarkable shaving on the first pass. Equipped with a quadruple foil and four cutting blades, the cutting surface of this shaver has been expanded by 32 percent, offering a better shave with each stroke. The blades are powered by Panasonic's linear motor, which operates at an amazingly fast rate so even the thickest beards or no match for this shaver.
Innovative Technology Provides the Best Shave: Nanotechnology was used to polish the industry's sharpest 30-degree blades to achieve even better cutting performance. This razor's expanded cutting surface not only provides an efficient shave, but it also spreads the pressure, which naturally occurs when applying the shaver to the skin, so users have found it to perform without the irritation found on lesser models. The fourth finishing blade provides an additional cutting opportunity not found on triple-blade shavers. In addition, the foils and blades on this razor are "arced" so they nestle gently into the skin for our closest shave ever. The foil glides evenly for uniform shaving on all surfaces of the face.
Get Great Shaving Results with Ultra Speed:At the heart of razor lies Panasonic's patented Linear Motor. It operates at an amazingly fast 13,000 rpm to cut through the thickest of beards. Standard razors operate at a pedestrian 8,000 to 10,000 rpm. To top it all off, this razor also features wet/dry operation, so you can use it in the convenience of your shower or for dry shaving when you have less time. A liquid crystal display indicates battery charge level by 10 steps and a cleaning reminder. It also comes equipped with a convenient travel case.
There is nothing slow about this razor. Even clean-up is at hyper speed. Simply hold the razor under running water and activate the Turbo mode. The razor accelerates up to 17,000 RPM and vibrates off any remaining whiskers."
"The Panasonic ES8109S Vortex Arc 3 Wet/Dry Shaver with Nanotech Blades and HydraClean uses a pivoting head, a linear motor, and other new technologies to give you an outstandingly close and comfortable shave. The ES8109S's linear motor achieves an astounding 13,000 revolutions per minute. Even the thickest beards are no match for this shaver, and you'll experience a frictionless shave with less pulling and irritation. "
"Philips Norelco Arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer.
The unique flex & pivot technology delivers an exceptionally close shave. Three individually flexing shaving heads are connected by a ball joint system making them swivel, rotate, and pivot with a full range of motion. The maneuverability allows Arcitec to adjust to the contours of your face ensuring optimum skin contact and a closer shave -- even on the neck. The new Arcitec Shaver is designed to push the boundaries of shaving and to conquer those hard to shave areas."
Snap one up quick, as this deal will not last long!
"Panasonic's wet/dry rechargeable shaver features the fastest linear motor and consistently provides a smooth, powerful shave at 13,000 strokes per minute. The arc outer foil shaves like a rotary blade head while the adjustable pivoting head moves with the contours of your face. It reaches hair growing in any direction, with less irritation to the neck and along the jawline. Extremely sharp blades, finely crafted with nanotechnology, provide a super-close, clean shave every time. The digital LCD panel indicates when it's time to recharge and clean. Just rinse under running water. Runs on one included lithium-ion battery for up to two weeks of cordless shaving on a single charge (charging stand included)."

One Shaving Device for Life: Braun Continuum Concept
What if you could have just one electric shaving device for all of your shaving needs, one that handles multiple heads?
The Braun Continuum Shaving System could be that device. It was developed as a concept project at Bergishe Universität Wuppertal, sponsored by Braun.
"It's got a ball and socket connection so it can follow the contours of the face and body. The LCD screen on the side recognizes which head is attached, and displays this information along with battery life along the side."
The Continuum System isn't for sale (yet), but it could be a serious contender in the ultimate shaving gadget niche.
Headed out beyond the edge of the pavement? No power? Batteries too expensive?
You can still get an electric shave with this really cool gadget: Freedom Dynamo Electric Shaver.
"The Freedom Dynamo Electric Shaver provides true liberty through its Wind 'N Go lever, avoiding any need to use actual electricity. One minute of winding, and you've got yourself enough power for a full shave! It also comes with three individual heads that properly flex and rotate to provide a close and precise performance. "
You can find the Freedom Dynamo at ThinkGeek - makes a great gift for the outdoors guy who loves to keep it smooth, even off-grid.
Grooming Very Important in Climbing Corporate Ladder, say HR Professionals
Appearance is everything - whether on the job or when job hunting - according to the results of a recent survey, commissioned by Gillette and conducted by Harris Interactive®, on the topic of grooming among male job candidates and male employees1.

How do you smell? Spice it up with the Perry Ellis M set, which includes a Spray, Aftershave Gel, Deodorant Stick, and Eau De Toilette Spray for the low price of $40.67, selling regularly for $70.00.
For those of us who eschew the clean shaved look in favor of a goatee, soul patch, or five o'clock shadow, a great trimmer is essential. Philips Norelco's new Stubble Trimmer falls in that category - a great trimmer at a great price - under $40!
If you're into the stubble look, the 'groomed' stubble look, the Stubble Trimmer is powerful and precise, making quick work of your whiskers.
Instead of those clip-on guides to trim for different lengths, the Stubble Trimmer has an integrated guide. Simply twist the red ring in the middle to raise or lower the guide into one of nine settings for trimming down to as little as .04 inch. This works way better than any other trimming guide that I've used.
The Stubble Trimmer's blades are "Sharper Than Titanium" and don't need oiling. The guide can be removed for detailing or free-form trimming, and the internal battery gets you 35 minutes of cordless shaving.
I really liked the Stubble Trimmer - it felt solid, not cheaply made, and the blades made quick work of my whiskers. The trimmer really made a difference in trimming my sideburns as well - fast and easy.
Philips Stubble Trimmer: Keep That Five O'Clock Shadow Perfect Everyday
It seems that the five o'clock shadow, a la Don Johnson from Miami Vice, is back in vogue, and Philips Norelco has stepped up to the plate with a tool to keep that stubble looking great everyday.
The new Stubble Trimmer is designed to be able to trim to nine different lengths, down to as short as .04 inches, so you can have your own unique look and keep it that way.
"The specially designed flexing comb hugs the contours of your face while the length-setting lock gives you nine stubble length options, as short as 0.04 inch (1mm). Philips Norelco's Steelwave Technology ensures that facial hair is channeled into the blade for the exact look you had in mind. Plus the self-sharpening, no-oil-needed blades are Sharper Than Titanium* to ensure a precise trim every time. Take off the flexing stubble comb and the trimmer doubles as a precision detailer to create the perfect line. Get the perfect stubble look--effortlessly."
I used to have the stubble look, but I just shaved with a beard trimmer (no guide) and let it grow for several days before trimming again. Which meant that every few days, I was mostly clean shaved - I would have loved a device like this then.
"Here's a way to stay fashion-forward while also cutting down your energy consumption --the Sol Shaver Solar Razor. As the name suggests, it self-charges using solar power. Cool!"
