RSSSolar Shaver Eco Product Review
April 21, 2008 · Written by Joel
I like the idea of a solar shaver, available from Nigel’s Eco Store. It’s clearly designed for traveling with a nice picture of an airplane on it. Leave it out in the sun for a few hours (or days if you forget about it like me), and it’s fully powered for your, er, shaving needs.
I use a razor usually and found changing to a shaver a little difficult. For a start this one just didn’t get that close, it was an effort to get a clean shave. I could have shaved my whole face by the time I had done one cheek with this. I’m not sure whether it was this shaver or electric ones in general. It is pretty handy, it’s small enough not to be cumbersome, either when carrying around or using. The only problem was when it ran out of juice (it lasts surprisingly long), you then have to put it in the sun for a while to recharge it. With half a shaved face.
With an intergrated cleaning brush in the cap, the solar shaver is available from Nigel’s Eco Store for £29.99.

Just a question. When you are traveling how exactly are you going to leave the razor out in the sun for a few hours? Hmm I think I’ll stick to plugging it into the wall. ;p
Not sure on the question, you can leave it outside whenever you get somewhere or stop.
Good point Joel. I guess it’s pretty cool at home.. maybe keep by a window so it gets sun and you save on the electricity bill!
