Electric Shavers - better than manual? Foil or Rotary?.

Electric Shavers better than manual shaving?The modern electric shaver is a massive improvement from years ago and has come a long way since the original patent by Col. Jacob Schick in 1928. There is still a great divide between those shavers unwilling to change and continue to cut up there face using a traditional blade and then you have the smarter users who choose to shave with an electric with less mess, less skin irritation, less water wastage and less expensive for ongoing costs such as frequent blade replacement. Manual shavers such as Gillette Mach3 and Fusion will give you a slightly closer shave than an electric but bear in mind a Fusion shaver that features 5 blades actually means you are removing 5 small layers of skin with each swipe so yes it will be closer but you will certainly be more prone to shaving rash, redness, irritation and ingrown hairs especially when shaving every day or every few days. An electric shaver does not remove much skin at all meaning a lot less irritation and a more comfortable and enjoyable shave. A cost benefit analysis also proves that using a new Gillette Fusion, Mach3 Turbo, or Schick Quattro shaver is actually more expensive in the long run than a premium electric shaver up to $400 as the costs of the manual blades are so expensive and require large amounts of creams and lotions as well as these items always being on the rise!In the current market the main manufacturers are Braun, Panasonic, Philips and Remington. At the highest level, the choice in choosing an electric shaver comes down to rotary or foil type.Choose the Right Electric ShaverChoosing the right Electric Shaver can seem daunting as there are so many on the market today. With so many models on offer we hopefully have something to suit all needs. We have some great prices on the very latest shavers as well as some excellent specific model promotions.Consider the Intended UserConsider what you or the person you are buying for has been using in the past. If there is a particular brand of electric shaver that is familiar and gives good results then this is often a good indicator of where to start looking. For example if a person is happy with the shave they get from a rotary based Philishave then changing to a foil based shaver like a Braun or Panasonic isn't always the best option. Obviously this works both ways foil to rotary and vice versa.This is not to say that it is never worth changing shaver style, modern shavers offer excellent results with most people given the time to adjust and bed the shaver in. If you feel you may benefit from switching or maybe have tried different styles in the past then go for it!Decide Mains, Rechargeable or BothDecide whether you want a mains, rechargeable or more commonly both features in your shaver. Never buy a battery shaver for everyday use. They are only really designed to be used for occasional convenience. A rechargeable shaver will do a much better job and be more cost effective in the long term.Price Point RecommendationsWe have arranged a series of price points between which we display the electric shavers that we feel represent excellent buys within that range. These entries are based on special price promotions and excellent overall shaver performance. Before we range any shaver we actually test one on several people first including the director to ensure that it is a value for money product.Rotary ShaversRotary based electric shavers are those originally produced by Philips (previously under the Philishave brand) and now also Remington. These typically feature three round cutting heads. Each cutting head consists of an outer guard featuring a number of slots, sometimes in combination with round holes. A rotary cutter then spins beneath the guard to cut the hair as it enters.When using a rotary shaver you usually use it in circular motions around the face in combination with a back and forth stroking action. For best results you shave against the grain of the beard. You can also use your free hand to stretch or hold the skin tight as it is being shaved. This helps flat lying hairs stand up from the skin and be more easily cut.Foil ShaversFoil based electric shavers feature a fine metal foil with many holes wrapped over an oscillating cutter block. The foil stays still while the cutter block moves from side to side and cuts the hair as it enters the holes in the foil.The main manufacturers of foil shavers are Braun, Remington and Panasonic. Braun manufacturer the widest range and in our opinion are the more popular, with a solid reputation for quality and innovation. Remington also make wide range and offer excellent mid-level pricing while Panasonic offer a more specialised range, often focusing on the waterproof and wet and dry shaver.

Things to consider when buying toys on eBay

Hi there,Experience on ebay has taught me a few valuable lessons and things to look out for when purchasing toys on ebay. My first toy purchase on ebay was a Fisher Price work bench, I won it for $5.50 !! Great I thought but unfortunately I did a silly thing a didn't ask what the cost was to send the item....not so great. So, here are a few tips I have learnt along the way:1)

A brief guide when buying a Fish Tank

Okay, you are here for one of two reasons:a.) You'd like to know some recommendations on buying a fish tank.b.) It's 2AM, you're bored out of your mind, and looking to pass the time while you wait for your coffee to wear off.Either way, read on! This guide is meant more for buying a fish tank from an aquarium rather than eBay.-The Boring Stuff-Okay, just to make things clear. Fill out this little checklist:a.) Do I have a space for a fish tank? Yes/Nob.) Is it worth the money it will cost? (Bear in mind, fish tanks have a habit of getting expensive after purchase) Yes/Noc.) Will I be able to feed my fish, turn on the light at one time, then be home to turn the light off, feed them again, 9 hours later? Yes/Nod.) Do I have the time to clean out the fish tank (A 1 hour job roughly, every 2-4 weeks)? Yes/NoThat's just a rough guide, but if you ticked "No" somewhere, you might want to reconsider it. When I first went to buy my fishtank, I expected to pick up the tank, a filter and gravel, plus fish. I couldn't have been more wrong. I went to the checkout, armed with my gear, only to find out that I needed additionally: Light Cover, Light Bulb, Plants (recommended), neutraliser, gravel cleaner (recommended), thermometer heater. That was my first taste of how expensive it gets, very quickly. The second thing is that once you buy all this, you shouldn't put the fish in for roughly 7 days. Fill it with water, put in the gravel, and let the filter run for the full 7 days, to pick out as much gunk as possible. So that meant I didn't have my pretty fish for a long, boring week. People searching for immediate gratification, give up now!On top of this, after the feeling of joy wore down after purchasing my fish (There is a limit to how many fish per tank, ask the salesman on this), I began to realise my tank was quite sparse, and thus, required an ornament. (Original Price before reaching Checkout: $219. Price after Checkout: $390. Ornament: $50. (Filter changes every month are required, they cost little, but continue to add to the price). On top of this, realise that dearest pet Nemo, doesn't have the best life span, and is prone to dying for no reason. Gloves for the weak minded (And quick burials for those with children!) are recommended. Basically, what you should get from this is:a.) Fish tanks are actually a time-consuming, financially-consuming process.b.)

Moulds for Concrete, Plaster, Candles,Ice, Chocolate

We think one of the best ways to slow down the mowing chore is to landscape your yard with pavers and gardens. I recently discovered "GoStatues" on ebay and was blown away by the simplicity of it all.Go statue have over seven thousand moulds( I've aquired thirty so far!) suitable for concrete, plaster, candle wax, ice, chocolate or any other squishy material that will harden eventually! The hardest part was choosing the moulds, the variety is vast!Go statue uses pay pal so you know they are safe, and if you order over $200.00 U.S they offer free shipping,(on a $200 order its approx $65) I think that makes all the difference, and I actually had a tough time staying under $300 in my first order!They are so inexpensive that I never even had to lie to my husband about the price( a first in our ebay mad house!)They enclose easy to follow recipies for concrete mixes and tips for other castings.My order arrived in record time and when I opened the box I discovered they had enclosed Five additional moulds as a thank you gift Woo hoo, we went and thats when they had me. Nothing says we want your business and we are lovely people more than presents, on top of excellant service and "Can we do anything else for you attitude".We have been 100% impressed with this company and our yard is no longer skid row, we've enjoyed making our moulds and

How to choose eyeglass frames for your face shape.

What shape of eyeglasses is best for my face shape?Facial colouring and face shape are two very important factors to consider when choosing appropriate frames. The first step is to determine your face shape (oval, round or rectangular).

Sellers - Beware of this PayPal Problem!

I believe PayPal is the safest way to trade, BUT I discovered the hard way that some buyers can use it in a fraudulent way. Here is what happens and how to avoid getting caught.Someone buys an item from you and pays by PayPal. You check your PayPal account and see the money is indeed there, so you go and post the item. A short time later you get an email from PayPal saying that the payment has been withdrawn. No ammount of correspondence and pleading will get your money (or your product)

Grading gold sovereigns on eBay

Grading from eBay scans isn't as hard as it looks, but it helps of course if images are good quality and size ! I always use scans, however these dull the image from so much direct light. The good side is they do often show off any bag marks, nicks flaws and WEAR. Digital photos with Wear is very quick on gold sovereigns, just shop around Ebay without buying first. The fields do not have to be completely clean as many sovereigns were minted far from their destination bank and carried in bags by horse and carriage. The mint bags will cause many little marks, and the minting process can as well. However, many Australian coins even of the 1850's times exist for sale in MS64 and higher states, with 1 or no major bag marks and amazing appearance. The GEM coins that do exist are virtually never offered, held in private collections or by the mints themselves. Buyers should still be picky and examine the coin on a coin by coin basis, think of it as every coin is different.Young Head and Sydney Mint sovereignsThese are the most popular series and my favourites, plenty of the Young Head types are worth a lot. Be sure toget a S or M mintmark. This is below the queen on St George sovereigns,and below the shield on shield sovereigns. SHIELD sovereigns may haveNOTHING or a die number at that point, so ask the seller if you cannotread it. Nothing or a die number means it is a LONDON minted sovereign and prices are completely different.Be sure and compare to graded coins because plenty of sovereigns are not graded well and are lower grade than described. WEAR is the key point when looking at graded coins, light marks or even dirt only detract the appearance and value slightly. In real life these coins are a 10c size and UNC coins look amazing to the naked eye.Truly MS 65 and other incredible GEM sovereigns of the older types are very hard to find, you are better looking for a PROOF at big auctions if you want a perfect gold sovereign - or buy one of todays celebratory sovereigns. The 1853-2003 issue which is an amazing boxed $10 proof which is a real "keeper", I have 2 and won't sell.Mostly there can be a lot of EF coins which look UNC, they are not graded and the seller either doesn't know or doesn't describe the grade. Of the young head types, St George sovereigns are easiest to grade. Look at the riders helmet which gets a flat spot to the naked eye for EF and below. Big spot ? might not even be VF. Look at the hair most importantly, and the overall lustre of the coin. Gold shows lustre well, you will see even glow and slight changes in tone. aUNC to MS62 coins display changes in tone around the lettering and are very obviously toned. Here's the hair in Mint State, note also the eye and hair bands. The hair bands are as important as the hair and should be crisp - this 2nd (back) band suffers from a weak strike. A line across the hair appears, however dark sports from very minor cabinet friction can appear and confuse. Look for the deep ridges that still exist, and for no wear that destroys those ridges (wavy lines very very deep in the design). This can usually be best soon only with an eyeglass.Seen in a scan, the hair can be seen to have depth, and more detail lines seem to appear deep in the cracksThe best indicator of grade is often this deep section of hair. Look for the bottom of it, nice and deep with extra detail lines appearing. If handled these coins will wear a flat spot OVER the tiny gaps as soon as rubbed. It looks as though there is that effect, but on closer inspection the groove exists.Sharp lettering and numbers are a must. If the numbers on a St George look like a mirror as in a coin of mine (1879 MS62 NGC), its probably a MS61 to 64 coin overall, look at other points. Here's the numbersYou can also see the dragon is well formed, look for nice bumpy details like that and no flatness, light should reflect properly. The only way to do this without looking at the coin itself is to look where the light sources are (in case of a photograph)WARNING for photographs - coins that have a GLOWING RIM and overall glowing appearance are NOT special, and photographed using a simple trick to make this happen. This can hide detracting marks.Sydney MintThis unique design is very important in our coinage and is very rare in high grade. Virtually any year is hard to get UNC, only 1870 (the last year) is really achievable for under a couple of thousand dollars in true UNC full lustre etc. I can get the 1866 in true UNC beautiful coin no wear absolutely shining in colour.. for about $2000. They are not very easy to get at all.This coin was graded AU58, notice the braids of hair. Wear starts with the wreath at the centre, and the lower braid of hair which runs around the ear. Also check the back (bun) section. Across the centre of the wreath is wear on this coin, an UNC coin will show only a little more detail though. This would be a hard section and hard coin to grade for new buyers.Really rare and worth having are just about all the other years (in general). The 1866 and 1870 show up lots, but other years in low grades are easy to get too. Worn away are not worth much though, most of them you need an EF coin for it to have any real value (jumps from $200 VF to $2000 EF are common). If you are patient like me, you will come across lovely examples. Just search and spend the time to look them up. The same really applies for all old half sovereigns. The reason is mass usage, it was very hard to keep hold of a new sovereign and not need to spend it. The shieldNot my favourite type, but I do collect a few and sell them. They were minted for use in India mainly, and many good examples exist. These are best found by searching for DOURO and keep checking when you can. Many thousands of gorgeous coins were found in the Douro cargo and lots were shields.UNC ShieldAgain the mintmark, check the bottom of the shield. Shield sovereigns may havenothing or a die number at that point, so ask the seller if you cannotread it. Nothing or a die number means it is a LONDON minted sovereign and prices are completely different.BuyingCoins sold by the average person are also often not described in grade and will grade aUNC orbetter ! some of those old sovereigns are then worth $1000 and easy toobtain. GOLD is on the rise bigtime and will not stop for some time. You should however be looking for either slabbed (graded) sovereigns by searching for NGC or PCGS or ANACS, these are the only worldwide grading companies I will use.You will NEED a book to know which varieties are which, so this of course goes for those interested in buying gold sovereigns. Have an interest, get a McDonalds catalogue (the one with all the gold coins on the front, NOT any other year) and enjoy !!See my other guides and get a book for more information.

Tips on Buying a Laptop/Notebook

There are a couple of factors to think about when purchasing a laptop. There are two ends of the scale, mobility and power. The key is to find the right mix of the two. The price will also influance this because the more powerful, the greater the price and the more mobile the greater the price. Therefore the most mobile and powerful laptops are the most expensive. At the power end of the scale, there are laptops called desktop replacements. They are as powerful as top of the line desktop computers in a laptop form. They normally have 17" or higher screens. This notebooks are heavy and have little battery life, around 1.5 hours. At the other end, the mobile laptops have lots of battery life, upto 8 hours, and are very light, under 2 kgs. This laptops are not as powerful, normally with intergraded graphics and less ram. There are exceptions, with some mobile laptops being very powerful but also expensive. So you must find the balance between mobility and power at the right price. To determine this think about your needs, do I need to move it or carry it around alot? Do I need top end graphics/RAM/CPU? Do I need a long battery life? How much can I spend? What is my biggest need? There is one other thing, DO NOT BUY A LAPTOP WITH THE INTENT TO SAVE SPACE!!!. Many people think that laptops are good because they are small and save space but they never move them or take them off the main power. This is wrong, wrong, wrong, so if it is you, dont do it!. Not only is it a waste of money but it is dangerous. Laptops with batteries that dont get used can explode. That kind of function is not what a laptop is designed for.

Buying Second Hand Engines Off Ebay

Here is a guide on things to consider BEFORE buying you second hand engine whether its from a wrecker or a guy who crashed his car. There are soo many hidden problems in an engine that you and maybe even the seller DO NOT KNOW; probably about 60% of a cars parts are engine parts shows just how complicated engines can really be!, especially if there a turbo engine not as complicated for a supercharged motor. Performing an engine swap or whatever can greatly increase a cars performance OR it can also cause enough nightmares to start pulling hairs out.. Heres how to avoid buying a LEMON motor.GENERAL APPEARANCE:Obviously an extremely dirty and oily motor is a sign that it has had a long life with probably little maintenance. Not good. However, also be wary of engines that are squeaky clean; it could have been recently cleaned to disguise its age. Look out for typical serial number stickers or print markings that are on gearboxes. If these are missing then chances are the engine and gearbox have merely been scrubbed clean.OIL CAP: Take off the oil cap and peer into the rocker cover with a torch. This is your only real chance to look inside the engine that you are buying so this is very IMPORTANT. Check the valve train for any sludge build-up on the components, as this can indicate that the engine has missed a service, or three. Take note of the colour of the oil as well, any hints of white or light yellow are caused by coolant mixing with the oil. uh oh Stay extremely clear of this as if you really want to keep this engine (after you buy it) then you will need anything ranging from a new head all the way to a whole new block! BAD.TIMING BELT:even if the salesmen says the engine had only dont 20,000 km play it safe and swap the timing belt for a new one before installing it in your car or whatever you plan to do with it. Salesmen like to be a bit creative with the truth so its better to be safe than sorry. about 80% of people wont and DONT no how to set an engines timing if the belt breaks.SCRATCHES AND OTHER COSMETIC PROBLEMS:Dont worry to much about small scratches and stuff on the rocker cover. These are quite common with written off cars or at wreckers. As the rocker covers paint was probably worn away by the hoist chains when it was pulled out of the donor.TEST IT:Yes, there is more than one way to test an engine. If the owner says he can show you it running somehow then yes, ask to. Other than that you should probably do a leak down test and a compression test. A compression test is done by feeding a compression gauge into the spark plug hole and cranking the engine. A leak down test is a measurement of how much air pressure escapes (leaks) from the valves. This is not totally necessary but is more needed the more valves there are.BETWEEN HEAD:Look out for any oil that has emerged form between the head and the block. Oil attracts dirt and dust, so it will be immediately apparent. This may indicate a damaged head gasket. However a bit of oil weep from beneath the rocker cover is quite common and can be remedied by resealing the cover.ENGINE MOUNTS:Are the engine mounts intact? if your planning a custom engine swap then youl almost definitely need these for the conversion. Examine the rummer mounts to see if there broken. If a mount is damaged then chances are the donor car was probably involved in a front end accident. FIND A DIFFERENT ENGINE because who what else will be wrong with this sucker.COOLANT:Check around the water pump and thermostat for signs of leaking coolant. A powdery white/yellow residue is the huge giveaway.HARNESS:In most cases you need the entire wiring harness, including the ECU, to perform a hybrid engine swap. Even if its heaving discounted, try to avoid engines that have had there harnesses cut. There are an absolute nightmare to rewire and finding a replacement harness can be extremely difficult.WHAT ARE YOU MISSING??:Some wreckers are dodgy, thats a fact of life. inspect the engine carefully and make sure everything is there. Often wreckers or even just ordinary neighbourhood people will remove parts like injectors or water pumps, and sell them off separately if theres a demand for them.TO SUM THIS ALL UP HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:my good m8 jonno bought a Nissan sr20 turbo out of a wrecked 200sx . He did not no what to search for as he was only starting to modify cars. Anyway He had to spend almost $3000 on parts such as the broken water pump and his horrifically damaged exhaust manifold - luckily for him he was replacing this for a high performance one anyway. and last but definitely least it has offset timing (i expressed how complicated this is above)
