THE HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES THE BEST WOMAN'S SHAVER.

New York, NY, October 1st, 2009 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces the selection of The Best Women's Shaver chosen from a field of leading electric women's shavers for its superior 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 and without commercial bias. After extensive side-by-side comparison testing of leading products within a specific category, the Institute awards the coveted "Best" title to the model that outperforms all other candidates.

The Best Women's Shaver has combs that lift hair and allow the blades to cut it below the surface, resulting in smoother skin and a longer-lasting shave that panelists described as "effortless." The Best model has a pivoting head and flexible foils that contour to legs and underarms, unlike other shavers with fixed heads that can't accommodate body curves.

"The Best Women's Shaver has arced foils that nestle gently against the skin and it cuts hair without pulling, leading panelists to comment that they could 'barely feel the razor' as they shaved," said Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager.

Scoring highest for ease of use, The Best Women's Shaver is water-resistant, allowing for use in a shower and enabling quick, easy cleaning of the head under a faucet. The Best model's superior features include a pop-up trimmer for cutting longer hairs, a hypoallergenic cutting surface that glides easily across skin without causing irritation, and its ability to provide 10 two-minute shaves after a 12-hour charge.

The Best Women's Shaver is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $49.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com or call 1-800-543-3366.
