A Close Cutting Critique

Advantages: A convenient shaver for a quick smooth shave
Disadvantages: Not the closest of shaves.

...- despite it being a Philips - not a brand I hold in high esteem. The thing that impressed me initially about the Philips HQ6970 was its stylish design and external material structure. I find the blue, white and black colour combination very original and ergonomically the shaver is very comfortable to hold in the hand with a firm grip whilst shaving. The blue part below the head, the black rear of the shaver and the blue sliding button on the front ...
...left standing, but with this Philips shaver it seems to catch every hair and every patch of stubble. At first I did find it difficult to shave properly around the anterior of the jaw line but with practice I've found that this shaver can reach all areas of the face and neck. One slight negative is that some of the shaven areas, particularly the neck area, are a little itchy after I've finished shaving. This only lasts for a few minutes and doesn't ...

Review of Philips Philips 6900 series HQ6970/33 Condor

Rubbish!!

Advantages: Sadly, none to report.
Disadvantages: Doesn't do what it says on the packet.

...money ever! I bought the Rio system x 60 from a shopping channel and it sounded like the ideal (no pun intended) solution to years of shaving, plucking and waxing. I faithfully followed all the instructions to the letter. Apparently, my pale, brown-haired classic English complextion is ideal for laser hair removal - but no, not a hair have I removed in the four months I have religiously devoted an hour a day to zapping me unwanted hairs. I phoned ...
...suitable for the treatment, but couldn't give me any reasons why the product wasn't working. A friend suggested using a 'conducting gel'. So I wasted a bit more money on a tube of that. It didn't make any difference and I remain as hirsute as ever. The system is easy to use, clean, painless and compact - but useless, useless, useless! ...

Review of Rio Salon Laser

Its no wonder Remington don't give you your money back any more..

Advantages: Light, gives a good shave
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to achieve the good shave it is capable of.

...a comparison with my previous Remington shaver - a Microscreen 2. I have actually had two Microscreen 2's over a period of about 7 years (the batteries seem to last 3 years or so) and as I have been very happy with these naturally replaced the last shaver with the equivalent current model. I am writing this review after shaving with the FF-500 every day for 2 months so I feel I can be pretty fair in what I write. If you already have a Microscreen ...
...easily. This could be why Remington have included the long hair trimmer between the foils. As with the Microscreen 2 you can extend the side long hair trimmer to work with the foils but this is much more awkward in the FF-500. The trimmer also has very sharp corners and stands well out from the body of the shaver so you can nick yourself, something I never managed to do before with an electric shaver. On the other hand the long hair trimmer is an ...

Review of Remington FF 500 Titanium Diamond 360

Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to ...
...the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very proffessional and the price really isn't that bad, in the long run, a couple of hair dressers/barbers chops would do the same job for the same price so it's a bargain really. Included in the package is a battery operated trimmer for all the facial hair, side burns and neckline aswell ...

Review of BaByliss For Men Easy Cut hair Rechargeable Clipper 7435U

Worth the pain - Braun Silk-Epil X'elle

Advantages: Effective and long lasting
Disadvantages: Painful!

For some reason, despite being blonde and fairly dainty in other respects, I've been cursed with leg hair that belongs to someone else - someone like my big grizzly bear of a boyfriend! It grows so fast that I usually have to shave my legs every day in the summer, which is a right pain. I've tried hair removal creams and found it just took longer, smelt horrible and didn't last any better, and waxing which brought me out in nasty bumps and didn't ...
...give this a try as I had nothing to lose other than the 50 quid it cost me from Argos (although it's probably available cheaper online), and I've probably spent that loads of times over on razors and shaving foam... I was drawn in by the promise of smooth legs for 4 weeks - too good to be true?... The Silk-Epil looks rather pretty and is definitely designed to appeal to girls, with its tasteful pastel colours and smooth lines. As gadgets go it looks ...
