A Review of the Philips Norelco Speed 8240 Shaver

February 21, 2012

The Philips Norelco 8240 is received with great reviews for several reasons. one of the most common user comments is that it allows for an even closer shave than other razors that they have used in the past.

So what is this revolutionary technology that has everyone boasting about their shaving experience? Well for one, it has a Dynamic Contour Response allowing the shaver to adjust to the contour of the face and neck automatically.

Another feature is the Speed-XL shaving heads offering 50% more shaving surface as compared to other rotary razors on the market. This Speed-XL technology is one of the components that give the 8240 the ability to offer a shave that is fast and closer than before.

The razor also features a SmartTouch Contour-following and DualPrecision cutting. The DualPrecision cutting is responsible for reaching the shortest stubble and the SmartTouch Contour-following is responsible for keeping the razor close to the skin for a more precise shave.

Finally, there is fast Rinse, which is an anti-bacterial coating inside the razor allowing it to be rinsed clean in a matter of seconds. The only downside to this razor is that it does not have a battery light indicator to let you know when the battery is low.

It is only equipped with a light to let you know that the battery is charging. however, it does have a long battery life, so you will need to keep your own account of when it’s time to charge it up again.

The general impression of this shaver is that it provides a clean and close shave, time and time again. if you are looking for a new razor, this may be the one for you.

There are three main kinds of razors that men are able to use; straight, electric, and disposable. the straight razors are really a conventional kind that you will not see men using frequently.

Little Peanut Razor or Razor that fits on the finger for Dog Grooming?

September 1, 2011

I heard someone that had said something about a Peanut Razor I think a long time ago when we first got our Chinese Crested, Josci. They had mentioned a Razor type deal that you put on your finger and shave the dog's face and sensitive parts that way. I can't seem to find any info about it or any pictures even of it or where to buy it. could someone perhaps tell me what it looks like or where you got it and how much it costs? Josci hates our WAHL shaver, he jumps and hates the loud noise it makes. it also is not good for a close shave on the face and the legs and the Hairy Hairless Crested skin. I've tried safety razors, like the ones I use for my own skin, but he still hates it and I've nicked him a few times on accident so now he hates it even more and does not like to sit still. Grooming which should take 20 minutes now take over an hour. and it's stressing him and me out. I'd love to hear anything you might know about a better way to groom him myself as taking him to a groomer isn't in the budget at this moment. thanks a bunch! Love, Krystal and Josci.

It is a hairless dog, and unless you are showing him why bother with shaving him. Even the ones that are being shown don't have face shaved.
I have dealt with clippers of all sizes and brand names for 40 years and never heard of a finger shaver. find out where there may bea dog show in your area and go to it and look up a salesperson of grooming products there. if they have heard of them then no body has.
Sorry
