Shavers.com And 101Shavers.com - There's a difference

So it seems that there is still some confusion out there regarding a competitor of ours who likes to advertise themseves as us and then offer higher prices and poor services. We know this because we keep getting calls from customers who thought they were us, ordered from them, then contacted us regarding problems they had with their orders.

It's clear how the confusion happens. 101Shavers.com advertises with Google, Bing and other search engines with the following ad:

Shavers.com - Braun, Norelco, Remington & More.

www.101shavers.com/

Unfortunately, the search engines refuse to acknowledge the fact that this isfalse advertising. Whatever. Shavers.com and 101Shavers.com are two different businesses. After you click, verify the logo at the top of the screen and you will know for sure where you are and who you are ordering from.

Let Thine Face Heal!

Ever experience an uncomfortable shave? Of course you have. Whether blade shaving or electric shaving, the skin on your face is getting abused each and every time you move the blade or the electric shaver across your skin. 

Now blade shaving actually removes a layer of skin from your face as you do it--which is why there are a lot of dedicated blade users out there, slathering their mugs with shaving cream and then slashing their way through the hair removal they call shaving. That "razor burn" is the result of the scraping of your skin cells off of your face and into the sink.

Electric shaving can cause razor burn as well, but with the technology available today, it has either been greatly reduced or eliminated completely in most of the newer shavers designed with combating that in mind (like the Braun Series 7 shavers and the Norelco Senso Touch and PowerTouch models). Usually the most common culprit in the electro-burn is user error.

Yep, it's usually your fault if you are getting razor burn with an electric shaver (but not always--unclench your fists and keep reading). Why? Because so many of us are so used to pressing hard on our faces, thinking that we will get a better and more importantly, CLOSER shave by pressing hard enough to draw blood. How many times do I have to say it? LET THE SHAVER DO THE WORK.

Your shaver was designed and re-designed again and again in an attempt to finally get it right, but it needs your help. Very gentle--almost non-existent pressure is all that your shaver needs to give you the best shave that it knows how to give. It does not matter what direction you shave in (unlike blade shaving). It does not matter if you make little circles or wide strokes (unlike blade shaving). But it DOES matter if you press too hard (like blade shaving).

Okay, to be fair, sometimes it is not your fault if you get skin irritation, razor bumps, and the like. Many of us do have some skin conditions and "skin preferences" that must be taken into account. For instance, my particular skin preference is that all forms of rotary shavers do a lousy job on my face. Something about the three spinning heads that just does not agree with my face and my needs. So what do we do when we are still getting irritation?

Let thine face heal.

Yes, sometimes you just need to take a little break from shaving to let your face heal if you are going through a bad bout of face pain and irritability. I have customers who experience it only in Summer when the humidity is high, I have others who get it in the dry, cold winter. I tell them all the same thing. Take a break for a day or two and let your face recover and also try a little something to help your face in the healing process like Shavetonic Ultra Gel (yes, you can use it as a post-shave healer also--betcha didn't know that!) and/or Menscience Post Shave Repair (also great stuff).

So remember your homework: 1) Gentle pressure with your electric shaver. 2) Give your face a break and let your skin heal once in awhile. 3) Use a little extra healing power to help the process along.

In no time you'll have  smooth, clean shave without the pain of getting there.

Amendment to the Shavetonic Pre-Shave Ultra gel Instructions

All right now, let's settle this for everyone. Now that the Shavetonic Ultra Gel by Shavetronics is available and growing in popularity, I think we need to settle some confusion with regard to actual use with ANY electric shaver.

Yes, you can use the gel with ANY electric shaver. Yes, women, can use it on the legs too.

1. So, with a CLEAN and DRY face, apply an amount that you are comfortable with (you don't need much) to ONLY THE AREA TO BE SHAVED. 
2. Let it sit for a few seconds. Not minutes. Don't go empty the dishwasher as you let it sit on your face.
3. Shave it off. It should allow the shaver to glide across your skin. If the shaver snags, hits a dry spot, scrapes across your face or anything other than "glides" across your skin, it has either dried for too long or you have not used enough product.

Now, flipping that coin, let's also not bathe in the gel, okay? if it feels "gloppy" then you are using too much. If you see it building up on the shaver foil,  you are using too much.  If Ultra Gel is running down your neck and turning your shirt blue, you are using too much. 

It may take a use or two to get used to the product working perfectly for you. Like any pre-shave or shaver for that matter, personal preferences are the rule here.

And finally, YES, Shavetonic Ultra Gel tastes terrible. Don't get it on your lips and lick it off. Blech...

The Shavetonic Ultra Gel by Shavetronics... Finally.

Yes, it's true. It's finally here.

The Shavetonic Ultra Gel by Shavetronics has finally arrived at Shavers.com and let me tell you that we are just giddy with excitement that finally there is now something to fill the void left behind by the discontinuation of the Williams Lectric Shave Ultra Gel many years back.

 For those of you who don't know, the Ultra Gel is anon-oily pre-shave gel. Its lubrication helps your razor glide smoothly and reduce razor burn. Contains menthol, aloe and vitamin E which help soothe sensitive skin. Each individual bottle is 90 ml (about 3oz).

It's use is exceedingly simple-- a small amount onto your clean, dry beard and rub it into the area to be shaved. Let it dry for about a minute, and as it dries, each of the coated hairs will start to stand up and away from your skin and each other. Shave it off and you are done. The aloe and vitamin-enriched gel will soothe your skin and help prevent razor burn, ingrown hairs and a host of other typical electric shaver related issues.

So, better late than never, I always say. The Shavetonic Ultra Gel is a definate winner.

Worldwide Clean Shaves

Well, after much foot stompin', it has finally happened. Shavers.com now ships worldwide. 

That's the good news. The not-so-good-news is that we cannot offer free shipping worldwide.

 - BUT - 

Our international shipping is being handled by a primo company called Bongo International and I must say, despite my usual trusting nature (how many of you just fell out of your seats?), I did a lot of research on these guys and other, similar international shippers and they really have their act together.

Of course, our USA customers will still enjoy free shipping across the board for all orders. Canada too, will still get shipments around a pound and under for parts and accessories free as well. Larger orders for Canada like electric shavers will have to also go through Bongo.

How easy is it? Well, it's REALLY easy. Look for the follwing button during online checkout to place your international order:

That's it! It's that simple. Clicking that button will bring you to our international orders checkout page and any appropriate fees will be applied (we've done out best working with Bongo to keep them minimal) and your order will be on its way to you, worldwide.

You can look into Bongo a little to see how they work things by checking out their website.
