Blades of Glory

I had an important event today which required me to be clean shaven. I'm not going to talk about that, though. I'm going to talk about my new shaver.

My old one has been around for nine years. It was my 18th birthday present from my Dad. We've had some good times. Lately though it hasn't really been cutting it. After looking through many shops at local shopping centres it became very obvious that shavers were stupendously overpriced in Australia and - with the USD exchange rate being so epic at the time - I could own a prestigious, $400 shaver for only $100 USD. And thus began my first, positive experience with Price USA.

After waiting only a few weeks, I walked out the door this morning to find my new shaver at my doorstep. To this event I swore loudly, mainly because I had been half-heartedly maintaining my stubble since I placed my order while waiting for my new shaver to arrive, and I had literally only just given in and spent twenty minutes shaving with my old shaver for what I now know was the last time.

So at that point, with nothing left that I was game enough to shave, I instead took photos of my new shaver.

The box, which lists the shaver's many powerful features, not limited to: being usable in the shower, having a better battery than my Samsung Galaxy S, Sonic Vibration cleaning mode and an LCD display!

It also comes with a handy guard for the foil, and a genuine leather carry case.

The Panasonic ES8249S features FOUR blades in an arc that contains nano-technology! By the time you finish shaving you will literally be living further into the future. It also has a fast linear motor drive. What this means is that it vacuums hair off your face like a tiny jet engine.

Although all that shaving power is pretty much wasted on me as I will basically use the trimmer accessory to just tidy my stubble 80% of the time.

After you finish shaving you dock it with the automatic self-cleaning charging base where an LCD Screen will tell you how charged and clean it is, along with shaving stats like how many seconds your last shave took and how long they take on average. When it's finished charging the shaver will play a happy tune, and while plugged into the charging base it can display shaving tips and connect to FaceBook to share shaving data with other ES8249S users.

It pretty much is the best shaver ever, and the fact that I imported it for such a ridiculous discount makes it all the sweeter.

Too much for me summarise in a review. Instead, I thought I'd share a single takeaway and challenge from each of the sessions.
