GO green with the PowerPlus Piranha Dynamo Shaver

The PowerPlus Piranha Dynamo Rechargeable Shaver is THE tool if you're the kind of man who likes to be closely shaved anytime, anywhere. Well, for that you can use the battery-powered shaving machines, some could say, and they would be, in fact, right; except for the long trips where carrying a big load of batteries is rather impracticable... or if you have "green" in your mind and want to use as little battery power as possible.

If you're environmentally-conscious, then a crank-powered shaver might seem one of the best ideas around, and we're talking about more than the vast outdoors.

Each minute of winding up the PowerPlus Piranha Dynamo Rechargeable Shaver will provide you with 1.2 minutes’ worth of shaving. Now, this could be a problem: you don't want to spend too much time cranking this gadget so you can shave meticulously.

This means you must definitely learn how to get a good shave faster than you used to or plan your time so as to get your cranking perfectly timed with your schedule. Or, you can simply charge the PowerPlus Piranha Dynamo Rechargeable Shaver using the supplied AC wall adapter, but then the "green" starts to fade. Anyway, a full charge (by hand or adapter) will give you 60 minutes of shaving time and this means quite a lot.

The design of the PowerPlus Piranha Dynamo Rechargeable Shaver is very neat and common, so no one will notice you're going green unless you're charging your shaver in the subway or while walking to work (possibly shaving as well, each 2 minutes). There is no word yet on the efficiency of the dual blade shaving system; anyway, I hope no one expects this machinery to beat all-time masters like Philips, Gillette or Wilkinson Sword senseless.

Nevertheless, for a price of around $45, this green tool is definitely worth trying out. You can get it here.
