While we actually
gave away a shaver not too far back to help the, um, hygienically challenged out there, leave it to Brando to deliver the first shaver geeks will actually use. Joining the
gazillion other oddities that sufficiently eliminate the "lonely USB port" syndrome, this bathroom necessity features a floating double-head system, "ultra thin outer foil," low power consumption, snazzy blue LEDs, a revolving USB plug, and an on / off switch. Completely rechargeable via your trusty USB port, this gives a new meaning to "portable shaving system," and gives you one more reason to just spend the night in your office versus fighting that awful rush hour traffic. So if you're looking to drop a not-so-subtle hint to that beastly friend of yours, you can wrap this sucka up for just $22.

Hello friends,
I have also found an article similar to this airtcle, there a company names as Thanko, who works as a razor pocket equipped with a rechargeable battery with USB. The connection is done using a small integrated rotary connector to prevent the use of a cable fragile and easily lost. The full charge allows up to thirty-five minutes of continuous shaving or shaving five minutes a day for twelve days. Read here for more information

The last thing we need is another gadget that will justify us staying in the office any longer.
HUH? Why? These USB devices are getting a little outta hand, can I get one to trim nose haris while I look at email too?

Oops, 'hairs' I mean. Oh and yeah, since when don't you have enough outlets at your office?
What a remarkably bad idea! Little beard and mustache hairs in your keyboard, your mouse innards, and your sensitive electronics!
Coming soon! A whole line of USB Grooming Accessories: USB hair blowdryer, USB hair curler, USB electric toothbrush.
By the way, I hope that the shaver comes with a USB "extension cord", otherwise I'll have to pick up my laptop with the shaver plugged in, and move the laptop all around my face so that I can shave! ;-)
It charges via the USB port, it doesn't always need to be plugged in
If it wasn't rechargable then i would be stuck lifting up my 20 pound desktop and moving that ugly beast all around with dust going everywhere..... just to shave.
As for the USB hair blow dryer, just load up that resource intensive norton antivirus program, and suddenly the fan on you notebook is the blow dryer.
"Completely rechargeable via your trusty USB port"
...
Thanks Derek and Justin. Guess I get an "F" in reading comprehension today.
Maybe an 'F' in reading comprehension, but an 'A' in creative writing! LOL @ "pick up my laptop with the shaver plugged in, and move the laptop all around my face so that I can shave!"
Speaking as the winner of the Norelco 7240XL shaver from said previous contest, I have to say I'll stick to AC power (lovin' it; thanks Engadget).
@ Mark: 2 of the 3 you mentioned already exist.
Maybe we could get a central power supply to power USB wall socket beside the normal AC sockets which will eliminate all the power adaptors around the house... Actually, i think this idea has potentials!... and all the usbs could connect to the home server, too.
I agree that this could potentially eliminate having 10 different adaptors for some of the low power consuming devices. Outlets have not changed in how many years?
Eh, I'd buy it! I often rush out without shaving and this thin puppy is far thinner than other shavers of this type. It's got its niche!
By the way - I always figure USB wall outlets would not be such a bad idea JK!
Wow, a thin razr. What do we need next?
Thanks, Adrian... now I can't get the idea of a combination shaver and cell phone out of my head. A Motorola RAZR with a "floating double-head system and ultra thin outer foil" at one end. So I can buzz the scruff while on the run between calls and meetings... actually... that would probably be more useful than this thing, heh. Someone get me a patent form!
