Shaving is one of those activities that men endure, rather than look forward to. And for hundreds of years a metal blade scraped across the face has been the way it was done.

Things have moved on since then, of course, and you can now find new types of electric shavers that are very smooth. When you have less irritation on your skin, you feel better. You look better too.

For most of us, there’s something pleasant about the feeling of a really close shave, after you’ve shaved. While shaving itself may not be fun, the post-shave feeling is pretty pleasant. Unfortunately, traditionally electric shavers have not given as good a shave as the old-fashioned ‘wet shave’.

There are various ranges of electric shavers now, like the Philips RQ1051 Arcitec Rotary Shaver, which has an ergonomic and slim body. Using Flex and Pivot it provides an extremely close shave, even on the neck area. Traditionally, as most men will know, that’s one of the harder areas to shave properly.

It also has stainless steel blades to lift the hair to shave. The benefit of a system like that is that you end up shaving below skin level – talk about a close shave!

Of course the Phlips RQ1051 isn’t the only electric shaver that offers a close shave. For example the HS8060 offers shaving with a built-in moisturising system. There is an almost bewildering array on offer in every department store.

In some cases it pays you to research as much as you can online before making a decision, because you’re not usually allowed to try them out and return them. For hygiene reasons that’s a very good thing. After all, would you want the one that somebody else had returned the day before?

Home Solar Power is now cheaper than Coal By installing Solar Power on your home you now have the capability to create your own clean power cheaper than polluting coal based electricity whilst also doing your bit towards saving the planet.

How Solar Power works:
Solar Panels or photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into direct current electricity. This direct current electricity is then distributed to a device called an inverter that converts this electricity into AC power that can be used within your home to the electricity grid for other houses in the area to purchase.

The Price you are currently paying for electricity:
Depending on the state and location you are in and depending on the time of day you use power will depend on how much you are charged for it. On average, households can pay between $0.30 and $0.40 per KwH for electricity during peak hours which are usually between 2pm and 8pm. Costs for shoulder period electricity may be around $0.15 to $0.20 per KwH. .

The Price of Solar Electricity:
As most homeowners buy or lease a Solar Power System rather than actually buy the electricity, the standard mechanism for determining the actual cost of this electricity is done using the LCOE (Levelised Cost of Electricity). This is calculated by taking the upfront cost of the system and dividing it by the amount of KwH’s it will produce over its lifetime. .

At the moment a 1.5kW Solar Installation costs around $2,500 fully installed (after available rebates). Over the expected 20 year life of the system, it should produce around 36,000 KwH’s. When dividing the upfront system cost by this number, it equates to an average electricity price of under $0.07 per KwH – significantly cheaper than current electricity charges. As electricity prices significantly increase over time this difference becomes even greater, as the electricity costs from the Solar Power installation remain the same.
