Roto Shave

[slantman]

I saw(off and on) a 1 hour infomercial regarding a wet shaver called Roto Shave.
Of course according to them its the greatest shaver since the beginning of time.
They make you believe its only $14.99 but in reality it can cost up to $135. This shaver uses replaceable shaving head cartridges which they claim extras are free(for a small shipping and handling fee) They compared it to a Fusion and a regular electric plus they were in a barber shop and compared it to a straight(which the barber swears is better then his straight)

If you believe all that then I can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge(very cheap)

This is there website

The upshot of the motorized blades is: "I'd like a 400-pass shave, with the last 398 without any lubrication whatsoever, please."

It works and feels like one of these;

AAAAAHHHHH! That thing actually looks terrifying

I though this post would be about those dual head shaver things I've seen on some ads and in the mall...

Nah, that's the "Rolling Razor." It's a gimmick, too, but the similarities (crappy shaves notwithstanding) mostly stop there.

what happened to the rest of your rolls razor set?

That thing just looks scary. I like the announcer "look, stick razors can provide a decently close shave" as the guy does not even touch the razor to his face. Notice how they didn't challenge the almighty DE, or Schick Injector. They know they'd get owned.

it's produced by those laaaahvly people at Emjoy, The guys behind the design of the "epilady"
According to a friend of mine, THEY LIE about that, Damn thing is portrayed as 'painless' but really, it's not, Not at all
I wouldn't touch this *** with a ten foot pole, Even if I was paid to use it, I'd come up with some test that would investigate it's "durability" before I put it up against my face

Emjoy, they're a sadistic company

Several questions spring to mind:

1. Who the hell shaves wearing a poofy cap and sweater?

2. Who the hell would want to put that contraption on their face after buzzing it over their "unmentionables, tee-hee-hee"?

3. Who the hell would want to use that thing on their "unmentionables, tee-hee-hee" in the first place?

4. Why the hell did I watch that video?

It didn't suprise me when this guy said that he shaves his legs and underarms.

 

[ryrelav]

LOL

 

[pauls51]

I reckon the guys in the advertising are actually wetshaving using a DE and then shooting the shot with that contraption in their hands....

Come to think of it; that's probably what Gillette is doing with all their latest ads.!!!

Here's another couple questions:
Why should I take shaving advice from a guy who looks like he had to wait 5 days to grow enough beard for that video?

Did he bother reading the manual before he started advocating it for women and fantasizing about shaving his "unmentionables"?

From the F.A.Q.'s on the website:

Q. Can I use the Rotoshave on my chest?
A. The Emjoi Rotoshave is only recommended for shaving the face.

Q. Can my wife use my razor?
A. No. The Emjoi Rotoshave is men’s shaver and not meant for women.

That thing reminds me of a handheld thickness planer. 16k/rpm?
I can't wait 'till he gets sued when somebody planes down their .......

Our RotoRazor friend isn't the only one excited about manscaping, the new Gillette under P&G is on board as well. Im sure King Camp Gillette is spinning in his grave.
