I am starting a post to automatically track the daily prices of men’s electric shavers. This page should update with the best prices every day. For tech details, I am using the Amazon API, an Azure Function, an Azure SQL DB, and Make.com.
Hopefully, the post will update every morning.

I have a new mission. I want to sell 100 shavers a day via affiliate marketing.
This will require me to help 100 people a day find the correct shaver to purchase. This is all part of my recent Shaver Dude project.
This is the beginning of me documenting the process.
The MAXGROOM Pocket Shaver is one of the smaller shavers I have used. Due to its size, it takes a bit longer to shave. However, I thought it did a pretty decent job on shaving. It did not get as close as my other traditional shavers, but it is also much smaller. I did not have any significant irritation afterward.
Full Disclosure: MaxGroom did send me this shaver to review.
MAXGROOM Pocket ShaverI use it to trim beard stubble and it works fantastic for that.

- Gabrylly Ergonomic Office ChairThis is my all-time favorite office chair. It is so good, I have 2 at my house because family members kept stealing it from my home office. It is currently at the best price I have ever seen (under $200). It is mesh. It reclines. It has fold-up arm rests. The head rest is highly adjustable. My chair is over 3 years old and works as good as new.
Purchase Gabrylly Chair from Amazon2. HP 7958e PrinterI love the huge discount on this printer because it gets you a quality printer at a budget price. There is a big difference in printer quality between $60 printers and $150 printers. Today’s deal brings the regularly priced $190 printer to just under $100. I use the HP 7255e printer which is the same as the 7958e but without the paper feed.

Hitron CODA56 Cable ModemIf you don’t want to pay the rental fee for your cable modem, this Hitron is a great alternative. It works with: Cox, Spectrum, xFinity, and many others. It supports speeds up to 2.5 Gbs.
BUY HITROM CODA56 at AMAZONAmazon eero Max 7 WiFi RouterThe latest Amazon eero WiFi Router. It supports speeds up to 10 Gps and connects 100+ devices. Plus, it works with the eero 6+ mesh system below. That is how my home WiFi is configured.
BUY eero MAX 7 at AMAZONAmazon eero 6+ Mesh WiFi RoutersThe eero 6+ mesh WiFi system has been around for a couple years. I have been using at my house for over a year with no problems. I recently added the eero Max 7 to my setup. The eero 6+ supports speeds up to 1.0 Gps and can connect up to 75 devices. The eero 6+ mesh system is probably more than adequate for most home offices.

JLab Epic Wireless KeyboardA fantastic mid-price range keyboard. It is wireless with back-lit keys and a comfortable design. This is a full-size keyboard with a number pad. Many of the keys are configurable with the free JLab software.
JLAB Epic KEyboard at AMAZONLogitech MX Keys MiniA bit more pricey than the JLab Epic, but this is a mini keyboard for a person looking for a great feel on the keyboard without taking up much space.
BUY Logitech MX Keys MINI at AMAZONLogitech MK270 Wireless Keyboard ComboIf you are looking for a budget-friendly wireless keyboard and mouse combo, you have just found it. When the MK270 Keyboard/Mouse Combo goes under $20, it is too good of a deal to not recommend.

If you want to know how the microphone sounds, I did a Prime Day livestream wearing the headset. Comfortable, great sound, and nearly a $70 discount today.

Here are my top 3 best shaver deals for Prime Day 2024. The Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige, Philips Norelco 9400, and the Braun Series 5 5120s. All excellent shavers at a great price.
Top 3 Prime Day Shaver DealsThese are 3 really good deals on shavers for Prime Day. I choose one shaver in each price category: Premium, Mid-range, and Budget.

- Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige (Premium)This has recently become my top overall shaver. It is fantastic and the shave is just as close as a blade, maybe even closer. Highly, highly, recommended if you want a premium electric shaver.
This box even comes with an extra set of blades, so you do not need to worry about new blades for 3 years.
buy Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige at AMazon2. Philips Norelco 9400 (Mid-range)The Philips Norelco 9400 is a newcomer to the mid-range price point. It provides a close and comfortable shave (not quite as close as the S9000 Prestige above). It also has the trimmer built-in to the handle. The 9400 is a newer version of the 9800, but without lights and at a much more affordable price. I love this move by Philips Norelco. Combine all that with the large discount for Prime Day, and it is easy to see why this is my mid-range pick.
The one on sale for Prime Day is the black version. I have the gold one.
Buy Philips Norelco 9400 at Amazon3. Braun Series 5, 5120s (Budget)I love the price on this. I am a big fan of the Braun Series 5, and this is the latest version with the Turbo Button for 26,000 cutting actions per minute. For just over $50, you cannot go wrong here. Right now, this is my favorite budget shaver.
Buy Braun 5120s at AmazonBonus ItemThe Nivea Shaving Gift Set. It includes the Nivea Shave Gel (my favorite shave cream) and the Nivea Post Shave Balm, which I use after every shave. These are 2 great products at an excellent price.

Sometimes I do not need a clean shave and I will opt for stubble instead. That is where The Beard Hedger from Manscaped can be used. It has 20 length settings from .5mm up to 10mm. I prefer to use the shortest setting of .5mm for beard stubble. It provides an even trim and does not leave me with any irritation.
I do not often have a beard, so I cannot yet speak to the full beard capabilities of The Beard Hedger.
Note: Manscaped did send The Beard Hedger for my review.

I have spent the last couple of months starting to build a thing. I guess it will qualify as a startup.
I spent a long time in tech and data, and then I transitioned to being a content creator. I have realized the need for some tools for the content creator space. Thus, I started working on a tool. I call it Creator Vertex. It is a homepage for product content creators.
If you have questions or thoughts, let me know in the comments.

The Braun 7120s shaver includes a Turbo Mode, which is an upgrade from the previous Braun Series 7 shavers. The Turbo Mode increases the cutting actions per minute from 24,000 to 25,500. That does allow for a quicker shave. See a full shaving demo for more of my thoughts.

These are 2 popular body groomers on the market, the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra and the Philips Norelco Series 7000. Both work well, but I think the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra does a better job with the foil shaver for a smooth shave. However, the Philips Norelco Series 7000 has the superior trimmer.

The Braun Series 9 Pro versus the Philips Norelco 9800. Which is better? They are both high-end shavers and both do a great job, but which one would I choose?
Both provide a close and comfortable shave. I think on repeated shaves the Braun Series 9 Pro provides less irritation.
Braun Series 9 ProMaybe the best performing shaver on the market. The closest shave you can get with an electric shaver.

I make a ton of shaver review videos, so I have a lot of choices when I need to shave. Which shaver do I choose when I don’t need to make an official review video.
Well, I choose either the Braun Series 9 Pro or the Panasonic ARC5.
Panasonic ARC5One of the best shavers for the price. The Panasonic ARC5 gets a very close shave and it leaves no irritation. Plus, it has a built-in trimmer.

The Braun Series 7, 7185, is great from trimming beard stubble. Surprisingly, it catches a lot of the hair trimmings right in the head of the shaver.
