Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute: The Best Men's Foil Shaver

New York, NY, April 1, 2010 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Men's Foil Shaver after it outperformed all other models in tests for shave quality, comfort, ease of use, and features.

"The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1983 to research, test, and rate products objectively without commercial bias," explained Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.

The Best Men's Foil Shaver's foils generate subtle vibrations that lift hair follicles and enable the four blades to cut below the skin, producing the closest, longest-lasting shave. This lead one panelist to claim that The Best model was, "the first electric shaver I've used that eliminates the five o'clock shadow," while lesser shavers were criticized for allowing stubble to appear in only "three or four hours."

"The Best Men's Foil Shaver cut both stubble and longer hair on the first pass, unlike lesser models that required many passes and never produced a close shave," explained Ms. Dugan.

Scoring highest for comfort, The Best model's pivoting head and arced foils easily accommodated contours along the chin and neck, far superior performance to other shavers that left patches of unshaven hair.

The Best Men's Foil Shaver is waterproof, allowing use in a shower, and its charging base automatically cleans and dries the head, leading to rave reviews from panelists and earning the highest score for ease of use.

The Best Men's Foil Shaver is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $399.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/78613 or call 1-800-543-3366.
