Worldwide Clean Shaves

Well, after much foot stompin', it has finally happened. Shavers.com now ships worldwide. 

That's the good news. The not-so-good-news is that we cannot offer free shipping worldwide.

 - BUT - 

Our international shipping is being handled by a primo company called Bongo International and I must say, despite my usual trusting nature (how many of you just fell out of your seats?), I did a lot of research on these guys and other, similar international shippers and they really have their act together.

Of course, our USA customers will still enjoy free shipping across the board for all orders. Canada too, will still get shipments around a pound and under for parts and accessories free as well. Larger orders for Canada like electric shavers will have to also go through Bongo.

How easy is it? Well, it's REALLY easy. Look for the follwing button during online checkout to place your international order:

That's it! It's that simple. Clicking that button will bring you to our international orders checkout page and any appropriate fees will be applied (we've done out best working with Bongo to keep them minimal) and your order will be on its way to you, worldwide.

You can look into Bongo a little to see how they work things by checking out their website.

"We Shave The World For Less"

(Any old-time Shavers.com customers remember that? Ha!)

Finally the Weekend--Vay iz meer!

We continue to be amazed at how popular our little shaver called " the Weekender" has become these days. We had a feeling that a dual-head, lightweight, battery operated shaver would fill a niche since Norelco stopped producing their dual-head line, but wow, did we misinterpret the market! Apparently, there are a good number of religious restrictions out there, particularly with those of the Orthodox Jewish faith, that severely limit the options of shaving with a rotary head shaver. It's all due to the lift-n-cut thing that Norelco so proudly touts on all their packaging (not that there's anything wrong with that).

The action of lifting and cutting is apparently a BIG no-no in the orthodox community, as the process involves the hair being lifted, then sliced off, allowing the remaining hair to then retract below the skin line. Well, the often over-interpreted "no-knife-against-the-skin" rule kicks in here, and hence the problem.

So what's this got to do with our little Weekender you ask? The Weekender you see, is a non-lift and cut rotary head system. One double-set of blades, no lifting--just cutting, the blade never touches the skin. We've evidently supplied an often overlooked market here without even trying--Oi Veh! We plan to expand our line of non lift-and-cut rotary products through our manufacturing division--Shavetronics. Oh, and Happy Passover.
