My Take on this Cool Hoverboard

This is a totally amazing hoverboard. It is loose but also responsive. You can make a slight adjustment of weight and it responds easily and quickly. This responsiveness allows you to have tight turns and careful maneuvering.

The deck feels nice underfoot. It has grips that make it so that you do not slip or lose your footing.

My daughter loved the look of this hoverboard. She also loved the LED lights. You get some amazing color on the wheels and in the front of the hoverboard so you look pretty cool while riding.

The hoverboard holds a charge very well. They say that it will last about 40 minutes of continuous use. We have not used it continually for this long, but in the amount of time that we did, we found that it will last about 2 days before we have to recharge.

The Hoverboard offers you two “modes”: a slower mode designed for training and a faster mode for those who know hoverboards well. This is important at first when you are learning how to ride and then you can go to the faster speed too.

This is a great hoverboard and I highly recommend it to all!

Get Moving With The Razor Power A5 #2019GiftGuide

November 21, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Razor Power A5

My kids have been wanting an electric scooter for some time and this holiday season the Razor Power A5 was definitely on the top of their list. That being said I had the chance to try our this scooter for myself (and I let my kids also try it as well, and we all were very impressed).

Why was I interested in the Razor Power A5? For us, this was the right speed for my girls, especially for my youngest. This scooter is made for ages 8 and up and it does not take too much to get up to speed and to hold the speed when you are going. You need to kick off first and as the instructions say, you need to be up to about 3 MPG to then use the throttle. It does not take much to get up to speed and then you can coast around with ease.

The scooter does have a brake as well that you can control with the heel of your foot, but you also can take your hand off the throttle and coast to a stop too.

About the Razor Power A5 Scooter

The NEW Power A5 is an upgrade to the 2018 Power A2. With adjustable handle bars and a new color, the Power A5 gives older kids and adults a great light-weight, foldable scooter option.

Razor Power A5

  • Speed: Up to 10 mph (16 km/h)
  • Run Time: Up to 40 minutes of continuous use
  • Distance: Up to 6.5 miles (10.5 km)
  • Motor: 150-watt kick-to-start, high-torque, brushless hub motor

Getting a Close Shave With the Philips Norelco S9000 and Loving It!

February 24, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

I am always looking for a close shave.

I work in a profession that requires a clean-shaven look and for me I have tried to find different ways to be able to get that but it is not always easy to get the close shave that I am looking for. I have even gone so far as to use both an electric and straight edge together to get as close of a shave as I can.

Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

Saying this, I am always interested in finding new technology that will help me to get an even closer shave, but also to be able to make the Shaving experience that much better.

Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

Over the last few weeks I have been trying the Philips Norelco S9000 razor and I have to say that I have been completely impressed by the razor itself. One reason that I like this razor as much as I do is that it comes with technology that makes it very easy to be able to we charge the razor. I also love the fact that it has two levels of power to be able to cut through different toughness levels of your beard / stubble.

Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

I already mentioned how much I enjoyed the recharging aspects of the razor, but let me expound. This comes with a charging mat. This mat reminds me somewhat to what you would use with a more recent cell phone.  By using this mat you no longer have to deal with having a cord connected to your razor. Instead, all you have to do is set the razor on the rechargeable mat and in a very short amount of time the razor is charged back up to full power.

Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

The Philips Norelco S9000 also comes with a very cool carrying case that will not only fit the razor, but the charging mat and cord as well. The case has a hard shell and lets you carry it anywhere without worry.

Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

The Philips Norelco S9000 also cuts close and gives you a much closer shave than other razors I have tried in the past. I have found that with this razor you will not specifically need to use a straight edge to get really close. This cuts well and the result is a shave closer than I have had with other razors.

Some other features on this great razor

Excellent skin comfort system
Enables you to get a highly efficient shave even on a longer (up to seven-day) beard.
Shave wet or dry
With S9000 you can shave dry or use water, foam or gel for even better gliding and a smoother skin feeling.
Washable design simplifies cleanup
Features an easy three-step cleaning process.
Up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving per full charge
The high-capacity battery also fully charges in as little as 1 hour.
Battery indicator
Shows when it is time to recharge your shaver.
NanoTech precision blades
Strengthened with thousands of nano particles that cut hair with the highest precision, delivering an extremely close shave at skin level.
ContourDetect heads
Move in 8 directions to follow every contour of your face, even catching hair in hard-to-reach areas like the neck and jawline. Shaving heads are surrounded with SkinComfort rings, which have a special protective coating so the shaver glides smoothly over your skin.
BeardAdapt sensor
Effortlessly shave off even a dense beard. The BeardAdapt sensor checks hair density 15 times per second and automatically adapts the shaver to your hair.
SmartClick precision trimmer
Finish your look with the skin-friendly SmartClick precision trimmer. It is ideal for maintaining your mustache and trimming your sideburns.

I highly encourage this razor to all!!

Choosing the Right Kind of Razor: A Look at the Options Available

September 25, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Choosing the Right Kind of Razor: A Look at the Options Available

Choosing the Right Kind of Razor: A Look at the Options Available

Choosing the right kind of razor is crucial for ensuring a smooth shaving experience. Most of us start with simple, cheap disposable plastic razors which are widely available. As we grow, we start to prefer razors that will last longer and offer a smoother shaving experience. At this point, we often choose a razor and stick with it without giving much thought to the variety of options available or what the differences between them are. Rather than dedicating the time and money necessary  in order to establish which choice of razor is the best, below is a brief guide to the most common types of razor.

Disposable Razors

These are the type that we are all familiar with; the typical cheap, plastic razor which isn’t designed to last. The advantages of the disable razor are their low price and the fact that they generally come in multi packs, meaning that even after disposing of one relatively quickly, they still represent good value as the user effectively gets, on average, ten to twenty times the lifespan of an individual razor from each pack.

They are therefore a great solution for emergencies and travel. Their major drawback is, of course, their quality; they will break easily and the blades will be of a low quality, meaning they will blunt before long. Then again, disposable razors aren’t designed to last so this isn’t really a flaw in the concept.

Electric Razors

Electric razors, as the name suggests, are razors which incorporate a battery powered motor which rotates. Electric razors are designed to be truly portable and usable on the go; they don’t require shaving cream or water (although this is often preferred) and allow users to shave even when in the car or on the move. They therefore make a great addition to an emergency kit. They can be used relatively safely while in the car, if you are late for work for example, however remember to always ensure that you keep your eyes on the road at all times when not stationary.

Cartridge Razors

Cartridge razors are the most popular kind of razor and they are the perfect marriage of price and quality, as well as durability. A cartridge razor consists of two parts; the body and the head / cartridge. The body is built to survive and the cartridges are designed to be replaceable, but they start at a higher quality than a disposable razor would. The interchangeable head on a cartridge razor allows for more customization with razor sharpness, number of blades, etc. As long as it fits the mechanism, it can be used.

Cartridge razors are generally the best option as they offer the advantages of a disposable razor, such as a lower cost because multiple cartridges can be purchased, each of which extends the razor’s life, but are of a higher quality and designed to last. They can also be turned into safety razors easily.

Safety Razors

Safety razors are one of the oldest styles of razor available today. In fact, your parents and grandparents will almost certainly identify a safety razor as being like one from their adolescence.

Safety razors make use of a strip, usually of rubber, that allows only a small piece of the blades beneath to poke through. In doing so the safety razor makes users far less likely to injure themselves; injuries are usually a result of the angle at which the blade makes contact with the skin. Often safety razors are among the best built in terms of durability. This is because they are designed for long-term use, unlike a disposable razor, but do not feature replaceable parts like the cartridge razor does.

If you want to learn more about safety razors, take a quick read of The 6 Best Safety Razors That Provide a Super Close Shave which will help guide you on what to pick.

Straight Razors

Now these really are old school! Straight razors are the ones you see in pirate movies; they almost resemble flick knives, with a straight razor blade which is folded into the handle when not in use. Straight razors are the favorite choice amongst those you might think of as the connoisseurs of the shaving world. While straight razors are the most difficult to use, they are a lot easier than many realize and they do offer a fantastically close shave, one that no other razor type can replicate.

For those who are design conscious, straight razors also look the most striking and some of the handcrafted ones feature handles carved out of fine wood. Consequently, the price of a straight razor varies; a decent mass-produced one, which may still offer a striking design, usually retails for around $40, while the more expensive handcrafted ones will set you back closer to $200.

Choosing the right razor for you depends on your circumstances and, of course, the blades! Cartridge razors will often allow for variations such as ‘safety blades’ which are designed to be less likely to cause the user injury. Others will offer a closer shave and there may some more specialist options but these are rare.

My Take on the Razor

I have been using the Panasonic ES-LT7N-S wet/dry Arc 3 shaver over the past week and I wanted to share my thoughts thus far. One of the initial things that drew me to this shaver was that it was one that ranked high in online reviews but also was listed under $100 which was a great value as well.

In using the Panasonic Arc 3 shaver I found that it performed quite well on the flat cheek areas. I found that there was a specific way that you had to follow to get the best use out of this shaver. Being that this is a foil shaver, you need to use an up-and-down or side-to-side motion to be able to take care of the most stubble and hair on your face.

I looked into replacement aspects from Panasonic and with this shaver they recommends replacing the foil every year ($24) and the blade every 2 years ($17).

The Panasonic Arc 3 shaver has an A/C adapter that can be plugged directly into the shaver and the shaver can be used with the cord attached. Also, the shaver has a digital LCD battery gauge. In all the battery seems to hold its’ charge quite well.

I liked that with the Panasonic Arc 3 shaver, it could be rinsed under water for simple cleaning and the foil was very easy to remove/replace.

The Panasonic ARC 3 has a built-in trimmer, and also comes with a carrying case, which makes it easy to take with you.

All-in-all I have been very impressed with the Panasonic Arc 3 shaver and I think that you will be too!

Micro Touch One Razor Gives You a Close Shave #DadChat #Sposored

October 6, 2013 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Micro Touch One
 photo disclaimer2_zps8af35ac1.jpg

About the Product

MicroTouch ONE is the modern version of the timeless classic safety razor. After years of price increases from multi-blade razor manufacturers, MicroTouch, a consistent top-three grooming brand in the country (Nielsen Report, Razor Trimmer Appliances, 52 weeks ending 2012), brings you the most affordable and effective razor option that professional Barbers still prefer today – the single blade shave.

Micro Touch One

A substantial and precision-crafted tool, MicroTouch ONE is made of solid brass and chrome plated to a beautiful, polished shine. The ONE feels fabulous in your hand and, most important, glides smoothly across your skin for the best shave of your life. The ONE’s “butterfly” opening allows you to easily and safely clean the blade, rinsing it free of shaving cream and whiskers after each shave. Your blades last longer, and that saves you money.

MicroTouch ONE comes complete with the razor, 12 blades, and a hard-shell travel case. At $19.99, it’s a steal. Learn more at: www.ONErazor.com

My Take on the Book

I usually am one to use an electric razor as it takes much less time and effort, but the challenges that I have with them is that they do not always give me the close shave that I want and they tend to be expensive at least when you first purchase them. One of the things with this razor that I loved was how easy it was to change out the blade. I was a bit intimidated at first about using this as I did not want to cut myself, but it worked really well, and I had no problems with cuts nor did I have razor burn either, only a good clean cut. On top of this for only $19.95, you get a ton of blades and the replacement blades are also inexpensive.

I also really liked the carrying case as it is small and easy to take with you anywhere. I cannot yet say how long the blades last, but so far I have to say that I am impressed and it works quite well after the first week of use. Here’s to another few weeks on a single blade hopefully!

If you are looking for a close shave for a great price, look no further than this!
