BodyGroom Clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond

Oh that the world were neatly categorized into three buckets - you got your bedding, you got your bath, and for everything else you've got beyond. Where do you think the Philips Norelco BodyGroom falls? My guess is that last category, which if not for the fancy alliteration, could be called "misc" or "potpourri".

Now you wouldn't necessarily expect to walk into Bed Bath and Beyond and buy a BodyGroom, and my suspicion is whoever the buyer is for said triple-B store is realizing that now too. That might be why the BodyGroom is on clearance and available to you for only $19.99, while supplies last. This is the BodyGroom BG2020, which according to the model number is good for another 11 years. Shipping starts at $5.

To infinity and beyond!

Thanks dealnews!

The Shaving Stuff 2008 Holiday Gift Guide

The holiday season is upon us once again, and it's time for all of you to start stimulating the economy. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spend your way out of this economic crisis, one gift at at time! OK, maybe not the soundest advice, but there will be some people you still want to buy for, and some who will still be expecting a gift. Aside from the electric razors we've tried to keep most things below $50 on this year's holiday gift guide.

Shaving Cream
Here's a list of tried-and-true winners as well as a couple choice brands we shaved with over the last year worthy of their company. Any of these shaving products will elevate your shave to new levels of comfort, closeness, and class.
The Art of Shaving - $38
Sharp's - $45
Billy Jealousy - $50
MENSGROOM - $52
MenScience - $55
ZIRH - $59
Baxter of California - $60

Gentlemen's Refinery - $199
John Allan's - $245

Still not seeing it? Surf on over to the Details for Men gift kit page and see what strikes your fancy.

Cartridge Razors
I'm still loving the powered razors. A little vibration goes a long way toward a smooth and comfortable shave. The Gillette Fusion may trump Schick on number of blades, but the Quattro's now got this kick-ass trimmer for keeping your whiskers or sideburns in line.
Gillette Fusion Power - $10.99
Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer - $12.49

On the other ends of the spectra, we recommend the environmentally conscience Recycline razor, and the experimental Rolling Razor.
Recycline Preserve Triple Razor - $7.49
Rolling Razor - $14.95

Electric Razors
Same group as last year, only the Braun Pulsonic has been rebranded the Series 7. Still the top of the line traditional electric razor in my book. If rotary is your game, choose between either the wet/dry lubricant-dispensing Moisture Shaving System, or the more classic arcitec.
Braun Series 7 - $227
Philips Norelco Moisture Shaving System - $129
Philips Norelco arcitec - $219

Pubic Shaving
The BodyGroom is still going strong, now with a professional edition with "high-performance trimmer attachment", as well as another set of hysterical videos worthy of a Webby. And if completely bare is where you're headed, there's still no beating the Cleancut - the #1 choice in the porn industry.
Philips Norelco Bodygroom - $49.99
Seiko Cleancut - $67

Head Shaving
Just like you wouldn't shave downstairs without the proper equipment, you don't want to shave the roof without the proper tools. Get the gear designed for your noggin.
Headblade - $10.99
Remington Short Cut Clipper - $28.49
Sharps Mission: Control Bald Head Balm SPF 15 - $24

Nose Shaving
As you get older, your hair follicles move from the top of your head to your nose and ears. It's a scientifically proven fact. Look it up. I just finished the Wikipedia page on it. These tools will help you combat the forsaken follicle foliage.
Groom Mate Platinum XL Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer - $18.88
Philips Norelco Nose and Ear Trimmer - $12.99

Back Shaving
A year later and I still don't want to talk about it. If you know a guy who needs one of these, just do him a favor - buy it for him, and give it to him while no one else is in the room.
MANGROOMER - $39.95

Shaving Accessories
Nicks and cuts come at exactly the wrong time. Your dopp kit needs a Nick Stick for fast healing after a particularly brutal shave. And while I still haven't made peace with the goatee, I have to admire the ingenuity which went into the Goatee Saver. Somebody's got to get us out of this economic mess.
The Nick Stick - $5.95
The Goatee Saver - $19.99

Books
Leisureguy continues to update his tome and put my work to shame. Get the straight dope on old-school shaving techniques and all the current soaps, oils, and creams that go with them.
Leisureguy's Guide to Gourmet Shaving: Shaving Made Enjoyable, Second Edition - $11.65
Sharp Practice: The Real Man's Guide to Shaving - $4.89
The Great American Bathroom Book - $20

Philips Norelco and the BodyGroom present The Manalogues

Those marketing geniuses over at Philips Norelco have updated ShaveEverywhere.com with the latest in Web 2.0 viral video. It's The Manalogues - a series of performances by comedian Bryan Callen illustrating the hard life of the hairy, and the salvation provided by the BodyGroom. And it's pure shaving genius.

Bryan Callen portrays five different hirsute gentlemen: Rick V, a bodybuilder from Brooklyn; Henri P, a circus freak from France; Sergi C, a male model from Moscow; Sam G, a regular bloke from England, and Douglas B, an awkward poetry slammer from Seattle. This guy Bryan is going places. I expect to see him on a sitcom next fall. Make sure you watch each of his sketches. Poetry slam Douglas is my favorite. Also, write in with your own hairy-man stories, and if they're good enough, Bryan will perform them.

The Philips Norelco BG2020 BodyGroom is $39.99. And introducing the new Philips Norelco BG2030 Professional BodyGroom at $49.99. What's the difference? A few extra trimmer attachments. And some improvements related to shaving "the nest". Worth the extra $10? Haven't tried the new one, but to me $10 buys me a lot of crotch comfort, even if it's only peace of mind.

The Philips Norelco BodyGroom BG2022 - Limited Edition

What do you do when you've got a hit product? You put out a limited edition for more money! Case in point - the Philips Norelco BodyGroom BG2022 - Limited Edition. I actually hadn't heard of the limited edition until Shaving Stuff reader Thomas wrote in about it. He said "Other than color all I have been able to discover is that the BG2022 comes with a carrying case."

I think he's right. Here's the official product page for the original BodyGroom, and here's the official product page for the Limited Edition BodyGroom (which I could only get to by guessing urls). The only discernible difference, aside from the color, is "Travel pouch - For storage and protection".

Want to pay an extra $10 for the limited edition? Go for it. Not planning on traveling? Buy the original. The Philips Norelco BodyGroom BG2022 - Limited Edition is $44.99. The Philips Norelco BodyGroom BG2020 - Regular Edition is $34.99.

Introducing Venereous Shaving Oil and Jelly

You may remember a couple months ago we learned about Venereous Mountain Mist, an aftershave for your nether-region. Well, the good folks at Newf Brand have expanded their line with Venereous Shaving Oil ($19.95) and Venereous Shaving Jelly ($18.95). Now you've got your beginning, middle, and end.

Beginning:

The 100% natural Venereous Shaving Oil is used as a pre-shave balm, moisturizing your skin and stubble so the razor glides easily without getting caught on anything.

Middle:

The non-foaming Jelly allows you to see what is being shaved and adds other great ingredients which moisturize the skin and prevent irritaion.

End:

Control those unsightly red razor burn bumps, prevent ingrown hairs and leave your skin feeling smooth, soft and moisturized after every hair removal treatment.

And, to make these more enticing, all orders which contain the Oil or the Jelly will be shipped by December 15th and receive 20% off. Not too shabby.

Introducing the no!no! for Unwanted Hair You Know Where

The Daily Candy had a story the other day about the no!no! - a new hair removal system for hair you know where.

No!no! is based on an exciting new technology called Thermicon™, which uses the scientific principles of thermal transference to conduct a gentle pulse of heat to the hair. It features a unique innovation: a thermodynamic wire to transmit the heat to the hair.

There's a layman's write-up of how the no!no! works on their technology page. It's interesting, but I think most people would rather not read it. A thermodynamic wire? Why are you telling me about a wire when I'm about to shave my cooch? I'm sure the researchers who developed the no!no! are proud of their acheivement, but I think the rest of us just want to that it works, not how it works.

That said, this is professional hair-removal technology now available to the consumer. So expect a price which is somewhere in between. The no!no! will set you back $250.

"Everything you need to get started with no!no! is here: 3 short blades, 2 long blades, a storage bag..."

Sounds like we're playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Venereous Mountain Mist

So, you're thinking of shaving down there. Or perhaps you already have. Do you have an aftershave specially formulated for your nether region?

Allow me to introduce you to Venereous Mountain Mist from NewfBrand.com. Venereous Mountain Mist is 100% all natural with ingredients like Aloe Vera Juice, Witch Hazel, Liquid Silk Protein, Vitamin E, Essential Fragrance Oils. Want to put some Polysorbate 80 on your hotchie-coo? Look elsewhere.

Venereous (pronounced "Ve`ne´re`ous") has two common definitions. The first is:" Venereal; exciting lust; aphrodisiac." The second definition of venereous is: "Lustful; lascivious; libidinous."

Newfbrand is home-grown and family operated. Husband and wife team created the aftershave. Mom runs the company which is named after the dog (a Newfoundland). Got any questions? I'll bet they answer them personally.

Venereous Mountain Mist is $7.95 for a 4 oz. spray bottle or $11.95 for a 8 oz. spray bottle.

New York Times on the Rise of the Philips Norelco BodyGroom

The New York Times had an article last Sunday on the rise of the Philips Norelco Bodygroom. Seems a year ago before ShaveEverywhere.com launched the subject of men's hair grooming anywhere other than the head was taboo.

Today, the Bodygroom is one of at least four products in what’s seen as a distinct and fast-growing category; nearly 250,000 body-hair trimmers have been bought in the United States in the last year, according to NPD data (which does not count Wal-Mart). “Nobody was talking about this category,” Olstrom says. “Now it’s completely out in the open.”

Click on over to the New York Times article for a few pearls of wisdom from the marketing geniuses behind "Robe Guy". And make sure you see the new "Follicle Phil" video if you haven't already.

The Philips Norelco Bodygroom is $34.99.

'Follicle' Phil Fontana and the Philips Norelco Bodygroom

Oh man, are you in for a treat. Pull out those headphones or make sure no one else in the office can hear, then surf on over to the Philips Norelco Bodygroom website www.shaveeverywhere.com. Yeah, yeah, I know. Funny, but you've seen it before. Hold on - there's a new installment. Click on the "see how the Bodygroom saved the beach" beachball in the lower right corner, sit back, and enjoy.

This mock-umentary takes you through the brutal origins of unsightly body hair removal and makes you realize just how far we've come. Truer words were never spoken from 'Follicle' Phil Fontana, one of the poor souls who suffered through early barbaric hair removal innovations, just to get the girls. I shed a tear at the end for Frank Sack, the broken inventor, as his body hair was scattered from a boardwalk on Coney Island. So real.

Philips Norelco Bodygroom - $34.99. Removal of unsightly body hair - priceless.

The Hair eRazor Pubic Shaver

A reader wrote in recently about the Hair eRazor pubic shaver and I figured, hey, it's summer time. People are trimming down there for the beach. It's time for another pubic product. So check out the Hair eRazor, which, for $47.50 (plus $6.95 for shipping) comes with a free trimmer to help you get your pubes into a manageable, shaveable state.

And for a somewhat amusing comparison between the Hair eRazor and the always strong selling Seiko Clean-Cut, check out www.hairremovalshavers.com. I found this paragraph particularly entertaining:

Much is made about the difference between Japanese manufactured shavers and Chinese. The truth is that Chinese quality is now excellent. For example China is where your IPOD comes from. The Chinese are so advanced technologically that they are one of ONLY three nations to have put a man into Space. Nearly 99% of all shavers are made in China including some shavers which claim to be "made" in Japan but are actually made in China and simply assembled in Japan or vice versa. In short you can get a top quality pubic shaver with all recent the technological advances FOR LESS by buying the Hair eRazor.

Oh, snap! Japan, you just got served.

This Just In - Philips Norelco BodyGroom

People often ask me "Russ, you talk a good talk. But can you walk the walk?" Well, all my talk is about to get put to the test. Seems Christmas came early in ShavingStuff land and a couple of Philips Norelco BodyGrooms showed up on our doorstep last week. One of them had my name on it. And while I may write the occasional pubic shaving piece, I've never actually shaved anything besides the whiskers on my face. However, for the love of the game, I and several other lucky ShavingStuff volunteers will be putting the BodyGroom to the test.

The BodyGroom website ShaveEverywhere.com all but guarantees an extra "optical inch." But what if you're metric? The instructions say "The Groomer should only be used on skin below the neckline." Is that true? Those answer and more, coming soon in the review.

Just to be clear, I will not be posting any before and after pictures. We've got keep some level of decency.
