So every now and again, I stumble across a product or gadget that works incredibly well (for me at least) and I wind up thinking - Man! That was really worth the money...!
Thought I'd start a thread where we can share our positive product experiences (not rant about how terrible products are, that should be a separate "complaints" thread) always remembering YMMV.
My first: The MicroForce Shaver

Got this as a gift at Xmas 09 as Secret Santa Surprise. First one out of the box didn't work at all due to a bad internal battery, so exchanged it hassle free at the local mall and I've been very pleasantly surprised ever since.
The product is worth about $25, is really really small (no wider / longer than a credit card) so takes up no space in a briefcase, suit jacket pocket or anywhere else for that matter. I've used it wet and dry with a little shave cream or lotion (electric shave) and get a really good quick shave to keep the stubble down and keep my face clean/smooth...Typically use it as a quick touch up after a long work day just to clean up before taking clients out for dinner or a drink when going right from work. Also use it to make sure I'm smooth before SP sessions, again if the session means I've gotta head over right from work .
My unit holds a charge really well, is super easy to clean, and when used with shaving cream or a dab of lotion, never leaves my skin irritated. For the price, you can't beat the performance. For guys with very heavy beards, I wouldn't necessarily say use it as an everyday shaver in place of your razor, but betting it'll still be a good touch up gadget in a pinch.
The product seems to be hit and miss in internet reviews, but my guess that's caused by how guys try to use it...it's not a heavy duty shaver, and if you want to mow a five day growth down to glassy smoothness, use something else or you'll hack your face off.
I'd recommend as a cool, very affordable (almost disposable) little gadget that for the price you can toss in the garbage can as a consummable if you're really not satisfied.
Thought I'd share...what cool products or gadgets have you folks come across that worked out well for you and would recommend?
