Newly-Released Razor S(h)aves the Day
As consumers seek to cut costs without sacrificing quality in the current economy, one area that seems ripe for adjustment is the razor aisle. Mainstream brands currently charge outrageous amounts for razor blades— simply because, until now, there hasn’t been a quality alternative. Holding a monopoly-like control over a lion’s share of the over $4 billion market, the major razor manufacturers systematically create impenetrable barriers to entry for challenger brands at retail.
The alternative is even more daunting. While the 5-for-a-dollar pack of twin-blade disposables can be tempting at checkout, the cuts and razor burn associated with the bargain-basement blades can also make anyone think twice.
Enter no-frills brand 800razors.com, which is seeking to introduce a novel yet simple concept: eliminate the middleman retailer in order to offer top-of-the-line quality razor blade systems and cartridges at half the price.The newly launched 800razors.com site is now offering 12 cartridges of a 5-blade men’s or women’s razor for $25.95 (compared to approximately $44.99 for Fusion 8-cartridge replacements).
The American-made 800razors.com 5-Blade Razor (available in both women’s and men’s variety), evenly distributes pressure for a more comfortable and less irritating shave with enhanced pivoting for hard to reach areas. A lubricating moisture ribbon reduces skin irritation with Vitamin E and Aloe. The thin blades are made from the finest steel and are ceramic-coated to resist rust and stay sharper longer. The online retailer additionally offers a 3-Blade option for men. -

Shaving is a BREEZE with @800razors
Ladies and gents, shaving is no longer a chore! You know why? It’s because 800razors.com is around.
This fantastic company really knows their stuff when it comes to shaving. They also know how to keep prices low all while delivering American-made razors for about half the price of your big brand razors. And best of all? They offer a Burn-Free Guarantee – “no skin burn, wallet burn, or American job-loss burn.”
Here’s how it works: Select the razor you need (men’s or women’s) on 800razors.com, choose the quantity (4 – 20 cartridges) and then select the frequency you want them mailed out to you. They’ll also pop in a free handle the first time you order—I got a very pretty purple handle that’s so easy to work with. No more disposable shavers for me!
The women’s razor comes with five quick-rinse blades, a 360-degree lubricating aloe strip, a fairly big soap bar to work a lather (looove this), and a non-slip grip.
The men’s razor is a little heavier and comes as a 3- or 5-blade shaver, with quick-rinse blades, a large soap guard, lubricating strip with aloe and vitamin E, and soft rubber fins.
I had both the women’s and men’s razors delivered together and I’m totally jazzed by how smooth each shave has been. Unbelievable–and leaving my skin soft and smooth without that dreaded razor burn. I’ve tested both the women’s and men’s razors and can honestly say I love these more than the big brand shavers I’ve been using for the past few years. I’m a convert!
The razors come in a cute little box with groovy cartridge protectors. If you’re like me and obsessed with out-of-the-box brand messaging, you’ll love the way 800razors.com has introduced itself to the world—they’ve got a sassy, tongue-in-cheek attitude that I love. Check out their Facebook or Twitter pages to see for yourself, then order these bad boys online—you can thank me later!

Stay Smooth All Summer Long With VEET
I don’t know about you, but I’m very accident-prone and I try to dodge any at-home treatments. But VEET‘s new wax strips and hair removal cream is so fool-proof you wouldn’t be able to screw this up even if you tried.Veet® Hair Removal Cream with Hydro’RestorTM works in as little as three minutes to deliver smoothness that lasts up to twice as long as shaving. But more importantly, it comes with a pump so you’re not stuck squeezing out a tube with creamy hands. There’s even a cute blade-less shaver to help remove the cream along with those unwanted hairs. This can’t get any easier!
Three dermatologically tested variants are available:
• Butter and Lily for Dry Skin (200ml – $9.49 and 400ml – $16.99)
• Aloe Vera Sensitive Formula (200ml – $9.49 and 400ml – $16.99)
• Suprem’ Essence with Velvet Rose and Essential Oils (200ml $9.49 and 400ml – $16.99)The new Veet® New EasyGripTM Ready-to- Use Wax Strips for Legs and Body are made for skeptical wax noobs that only get this done when on a super important date. Rub the strip to warm up the wax, peel and slap it on your skin. Then let it rip! The best part about this is you can use both sides of the wax strip (one on either leg) and this process is over in less than 5 minutes. On top of it, it comes with disposable wipes that remove any excess wax while moisturizing your skin with essential oils. Genius!
Three dermatological tested varieties are available:
