Panasonic ES8249 Pro-Curve Shaver
If you’re a fan of the Panasonic shavers this revolutionary, top of the range shaver has great flexibility and provides a uniform skin contact.
With a powerful 13,000 rpm linear motor and a quad blade performance, the shave is much faster than with most shavers on the market. A quad-blade performance with sharp 30 degree- edge blades means that the cut is cleaner and, according to users, the Panasonic ES8249 actually gets that little bit closer. The multi-arc foils and flexible pivoting head ensure that the ES8249 is also pretty nifty at negotiating the contours of the face, reaching all those tricky bits around the jaw and chin area.
One of the main features of the Panasonic ES8249 is its unique wet and dry facility. It can be used with water, gel or shaving foam but the dry shave is no less effective. The charging system takes only one hour which gives 45 minutes of use, plenty of time to get that stubble under control. Suitable for worldwide use with 100 to 240v, the long- life stainless steel blades and foil mean that optimum usage is gained.
A handy LCD shaver status indicator also gives out information of minutes used, cleaning details and percentage of charge left. With an automatic cleaning and charging system however, there is very little to worry about. It’s official guys; the Panasonic ES8249 gets as close as a bladed wet shave and is probably a lot more comfortable.

The 360 Degree Mirror is not the most hi-tech gadget around but, like the best of them – it works. It’s made up of seven individual mirrored panels that extend on two arms from a central mirror. These can then be bent in a concertina-like effect to create a semi-circle around the protagonist enabling the head to be viewed from all angles. Even better, the central mirror is lit by bright LED lights to give that Hollywood glow.
360 degree mirror release dates
Mirror, mirror on the wall… or should that be seven mirrors? It’s now possible to see just how fair you are from every conceivable angle.
Hopefully there are no nasty surprises in store and it offers a good way of finding out your best angle for future photographic reference. The central mirror can be screwed to the wall or stuck on to the bathroom tiles with strong suction pads so it offers a good degree of flexibility in where it can be mounted. Measuring approximately 9 x 6 x2 ½ ”, when folded, the 360 Degree Mirror requires 3AAA batteries.
So now you can apply your make or style your hair and still have your hands free. It’s also great for stylists who no longer have to dodge about surveying you from different angles and for you because you’ll be able to see your new hair cut from all sides.
It’s a definite winner with the ladies but according to the manufacturers, it’s going down well with the men too.
Flying Alarm Clock
Getting up in the morning need no longer be a problem with the Flying Alarm Clock.
At the designated hour, the propeller takes off from the base of the clock and careers around the room screeching madly. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the only way to stop the flight is to get out of bed and replace the rotor in its base.
A snooze button re-activates the whole process again after seven minutes so even the most dedicated sleeper has met his nemesis. The Flying Alarm Clock works in rooms of any size; apparently the smaller the room the better or it takes longer to find and retrieve the propeller. If it’s any consolation, a clear LCD means that the time can be read from the confines of the pillow. This innovative clock is not only a cool gadget; it’s also a functional tool that has won awards for its technology. Requiring 4 AA batteries and measuring approximately 14 x 14 x 9cm, the Flying Alarm Clock weighs 7 ozs and is suitable for ages over the age of eight.
For lazy bones everywhere this is a terrific gift and a god send to mothers trying to get the kids up for school.
