As I am NOT a bearded lady in a circus, I gave this item to the grouchy, not human until his morning shave, bear in my life for a few weeks test. Initially the bear was ecstatic with it and it compared favourably to a brand of dry shaver which he'd recently played with.

So despite being a very lovely piece of kit which you can use wet or dry, with an innovative bath to do the hard bit of cleaning out the heads... here where it all went wrong....

First off, my goodness, that bath thing takes up a lot of room near a safe socket. That took me five minutes of rearranging things after bear had installed it.

Secondly, he likes wet shaves, but he can wet shave faster with a normal razer. The point of an electric razer is that it is portable (especially taking it abroad where sharp pointy things become an issue at airports)and quick to use. You would never cart the bath with you on holiday, you would only use when away as a dry razer.

Thirdly... he felt it was a lovely smooth comfortable shave.... however I pointed out he had a ten a.m. shadow... it just doesn't remove emough of the hairs near the roots, even though it feels nice.

So he's going back to wet shaving apart from emergencies.

Be in two places at once

Whether you're stuck in traffic, working late, or halfway around the world, you can make live video calls to those closest to you on your HTC Flyer straight from your contact list. So you can say it in person as if you're face to face, no matter if they're on their PC at home, on their office computer or on the other side of the world using their HTC Flyer.

A pen that's quite magic

HTC Flyer's magic pen transforms anything. It can draw, paint, write, and even retouch pictures.
