Product Review - Everblade

About the Product
It's almost hard to imagine a world where our daily items actually last.  Practically everything is disposable.  Everything from our paper coffee cups to shopping bags, and even items like our computers and furniture.  They are built to be the most economical, but are they?  Sure they seem relatively inexpensive at first, but it’s hardly inexpensive when you are buying the item every day, week, month or year.  It adds up and for the large part it goes unnoticed. 

We, like most of you, couldn’t help but notice the staggering waste of material and enormous cost that came along with using razor blades.  We asked ourselves, is there any way to consistently keep razor blades sharp without creating a whole new set of problems; like the maintenance and time of a sharpener or the cost of batteries to keep a sharpener running, not to mention all the additional costs and packaging associated with the upkeep.

EverBlade solves the problem, it is completely self sufficient, requires no batteries, electricity or maintenance.  Imagine a single blade lasting you 4 or 6 or even 12 months simply by placing it on the EverBlade stand instead of on your counter or in your medicine cabinet - it's that simple.

As we were working hard to solve the problem of a dull razor our research lead us to a collection of unique shaving products that have just hit the market.  They are made of concentrate, meaning there is no filler or air, you are buying 100% product that will last you much longer than any of the traditional shaving products.  This will save you money over time, you’ll have an amazing shaving experience and will certainly create less waste for all of us.  In addition, the EverBlade shaving products do not contain chemicals or alcohol and are made with a natural preservative system. 

Our goal is to provide you with a product, the EverBlade, that will one day be handed down to your grandchildren, working just as well as the day you bought it, instead of being tossed into a landfill for them to clean up.  And to offer genuine shaving techniques that will be pasted on generation after generation, that include a shaving experience free of chemicals and alcohol that irritate, dry and prematurely age your skin.

They are so confident in the benefits of the EverBlade products that they offer you a 30 day money back guarantee on all purchases.

My Take on the Product
WOW, talk about making a razor everlasting! I've had the same razor since I starting using the everblade & just decided to throw it away for sanitary reasons last night. I've noticed ANOTHER benefit of everblade being it helps repel the hair that would normally get stuck inbetween the blades, which I've had problems with in the past. I think this is a great product & would recommend it to anyone!

My husband used this product and we were actually in shock! He has really thick hair and his blades normally only last him about two shaves and then he has to use a new one. He uses the Gillette ProGlide razor and the refill blades are about $16 for a pack. They are so expensive that he tries to make them last for as long as he possibly can, but even with doing that, he still only gets a few shaves out of them. Since he started using the EverBlade, he has been on the same razor and has shaved so far six times!!! That is just insane!! We are thoroughly impressed and are looking forward to how long he can make this blade last. For this one blade to last six times, that is already unheard of for him, so this is a winner to us. We definitely recommend this product and would love to give an update in the near future on how many more shaves he gets out of this blade!! The price to me is great! I think it is very much worth it for the length of time that the blades last, it does pay for itself very quickly!

Product Review - Rain Bird

About the Product
Most of us know dad loves to see his lawn in great shape – and loves the credit too.  We also know it can be tough for dad to keep on top of lawn maintenance without the right tools (“technology”).  Funny thing is we spend tons of money and time using new technology indoors to make our lives easier and cost less.  However, when it comes to using great technology to save time and money outdoors, there seems to be a huge disconnect.

That is where the new Rain Bird SST Weather-Based Irrigation Controller comes to the rescue.  Designed to be installed and used by everyday consumers, the new SST Smart Controller ensures that landscapes receive the precise amount of water needed to thrive, reducing the amount of water wasted to overconsumption and varying weather and temperature patterns. The SST achieves maximum water-efficiency by setting pinpointed, zone-by-zone watering schedules tailored to the landscape’s watering needs, and adjusting based on changing weather conditions.

This self-adjusting, weather sensing technology is housed in a powerful and rugged controller that works with a sophisticated weather sensor to create daily adjustments in watering schedules so that landscapes receive the right amount of water every time.

Simply put, it’s like having a weather man in your backyard...all the time.

So, just like your Smart refrigerator knows when your food is spoiled (yes, they exist), the next generation of irrigation gadgets knows when your landscape is about to go bad.

And, when combined with smart watering habits, the SST can result in water savings of up to 70%, not to mention reduce the strain on an already stretched water supply..and Dad’s back.



 
The SST Smart Controller with weather sensor is designed to incorporate into any automatic irrigation system. The indoor/outdoor smart controllers have a suggested retail price of $139.99 for a 6-valve model and $159.99 for a 12-valve model. The controllers are available through the Rain Bird online store, as well as in select Home Depot and Lowe’s stores. More information on the SST Smart Controller is available by visiting, http://www.RainBird.com/homeowner/products/timers/SSTsmart.htm



My Take on the Product
I had a 4 zone version for our system in the past and it worked fine, but that I did not really see much water saving in the past. When I heard about this system I was excited to try it out because I noticed that this system was set up for water savings partially. In looking at the system when I did receive it I was impressed with how the system looked and in looking at the instructions prior to installation how easy it seemed that it would be easy to install as well.

After reading this I moved to install the system and I was amazed to find how easy this system actually was to install. In less than an hour I had a new system up and running. Once connected and in working with the new system I really liked the interface as it was very intuitive and was very easy to follow. I noticed that when the system was working, it seemed to make my whole sprinkler system work more effectively. I also noticed better water pressure overall with the new system.

Overall, after about a week, I have noticed a marked difference in this system and I am very impressed. I would recommend highly. I have even considered adding to my system overall. Especially because I have seen how effective this system works now, I now can see that having more would only impact and increase the beauty of my landscape.

If you are looking for a system that really works well, this is the system for you! Check it out today!

I have used this for about 10 days and in using this I can say that my face is feeling very clean. I have noticed that the product does a great job at deep cleaning and it has really made a few rougher areas of my skin to become much smoother.


Though most guys would be afraid to try this, I would say that if you have issues with your skin and you have tried other type of products to manage this without any type of  results, this product may be the product that you are looking for.


I would have to say that overall the product has exceeded my expectations and I know that it will for you as well..

My Take on the Product
I typically use both an electronic and straight razor (yes, it may seem to be a bit of overkill, but for me it works). In using a straight razor I have come to find that it does get dulled out quite quick, and when it does get dull it can really rip up my face. Financially, replacing the razor blades as quickly as they usually would need to be gets a bit much on a fixed budget. With this in mind I was excited to try this out and to see whether this actually worked as well as they said it does on television and on the internet.

In using this product I was impressed. The product is very easy to use, I have noticed a marked difference in how long the blades last and as I mentioned razor blades can be expensive and any extra extra time that I can get with a blade the better!

I definitely recommend this product and have found that this product live up to the hype and does make blades last. I even found that it sees to help pull out some of the hairs that get stuck between the blades. This is a product that will amaze you and you will never want to try anything with your razors again!

PowerSharp - A New Way to Keep Your Chainsaw Sharp!

A chainsaw sharpener that sharpens chain on the saw, on the job, in seconds, PowerSharp is a tool made for DIY dads. People who use chainsaws do so because they're fast. But saw chain can quickly get dull if it runs into dirt or hits a rock.  Before PowerSharp came onto the scene, the only way to sharpen chain was to do so manually, which can take 30 minutes or more. PowerSharp is a monumental innovation in the world of chainsaws!



1) What makes PowerSharp® saw chain different?
The PowerSharp saw chain has three key features that make it different from all other saw chain. First, the cutters are top sharpening – sharpening down, not back – making it possible to sharpen them from the outside. Second, a diamond-coated dresser link “dresses” the sharpening stone, resurfacing it for optimum honing angles. Finally, the cutters work together with the depth gauges and guidance drive links to stabilize the cutter as it contacts the stone, delivering a precise and predictable sharpening process.

2) How long does it take to sharpen a chain with the PowerSharp system?
It takes as little as three seconds to sharpen the chain, although extreme dulling may require more sharpening. Sharpen for three to five seconds, and then make a test cut. Repeat sharpening if necessary.

3) How many times can I sharpen the chain?The PowerSharp saw chain can be sharpened five to 15 times, depending on conditions.

4) Where can I buy the PowerSharp system?Scheduled to rollout in the U.S. this May, and in Europe and other parts of the world later in 2010, PowerSharp will be sold through home improvement stores, hardware retailers, and servicing dealers. For more information visit www.powersharp.com.

My Take on the ProductI was very impressed with this system. It was unique and so easy to use. You simply hook it to your existing chainsaw as you see in the picture above and you are ready to go... it's that easy! One of the things that I really liked was that all of the pieces that you need are a part of the system so you are not needing to buy separate pieces to make the system work. Now you will need to have a chain that works with this system for the system to work, but with how easy it works it seems like a great idea to me!

I was asked to try this system out myself. Seeing that I had a few things to take down in my backyard I was happy to try it out. They gave me one of their systems to try with a chainsaw that they sent and I was very impressed with how simple the system was to use. When I used this I first cut down two small trees in the backyard and then decided to take the running saw across a large rock to dull the chain somewhat. I went back to cut through a larger tree and found that I was getting bound up. Because of this I ran the blade through the Powersharp system and went back to the tree that I was working on and found that I was easily able to get through the tree.

Thus, I have to reiterate my satisfaction with the system and my encouragement for all of you to look at this system for yourself if you are looking for a new way to keep your chainsaw in great working condition!

Hexbugs make a fun gift for dads and kids alike

Of course some Dad’s may want an Apple product or fancy new electronic device this year for Father’s Day, but HEXBUG Micro Robotic Creatures offer something that Man Cave treasures don’t – creative quality time with the kids.  These award winning, brightly colored, tiny gizmos come at teeny prices and are designed to stimulate interest in technology by providing an interactive and imaginative experience with robots.  They even make for a great desktop conversation piece in the office!  Each of the six micro robotic generations is powered with unique and varying characteristics, a few of which are outlined in detail below.  

The HEXBUG Spider is a creepy crawler that is an electro mechanical marvel to watch and operate.  Each HEXBUG Spider features 360 degree steering, an LED forward eye, and two-channel, user selectable infrared remote control.  The two-channel remote control enables the user to operate one bug independently or multiple bugs at the same time.  The largest member of the HEXBUG family, the complexity of its internal mechanisms and six-legged crawling motion is simply fascinating to operate and watch.  (MSRP: $24.99; Available at retailers nationwide or at www.hexbug.com)

 

It’s tiny…it’s intelligent…it’s micro robotic and it is swarming out of retail stores and into your readers’ households as we speak.  The HEXBUG Nano, is fueled by a price point under $10 and packed with a fascinating back story based on science and mythology that will appeal to girls, boys and gadget loving parents.  When revelers come across this creepy crawler, encased in an eye-catching test tube packaging, they won’t know if it’s alive or programmable! (MSRP: $9.99; Available at retailers nationwide or at www.hexbug.com)

The HEXBUG Inchworm comes with a miniature infrared remote control outfitted with two channels so that one bug can be operated independently or multiple bugs at the same time.  The remote offers seven way steering and the HEXBUG Inchworm can pirouette in place when stopped on its center pod foot. (MSRP $19.99; Available at retailers nationwide or at www.hexbug.com)

My Take on the Product This was a a lot of fun. I was able to try out the Hexburg Nano and I gave it to the kids to try and they just had a blast. One thing to be careful of is that you don't want to let it go without being by it as it can get itself in trouble and then cannot get out. So for example, it could go under your refrigerator and then get stuck trying to get out (not that this happened to me - but I have warned the kids). What I loved about this was how the robot thinks for itself and self corrects when it runs into another surface. Even my cats enjoyed chasing this robot! I highly recommend this and say that you will not go wrong with this for hours of fun with the family. Just remember that you will need hard floors to use it on, it does not do well on carpet!

Smart Mouth is Mouthwash that Lasts all Day!

About the Product
Mouthwash products have evolved over time into three generations. The first generation of products kills some of the germs in your mouth, providing only short term relief. The second generation goes one step further and eliminates bad breath odors when you rinse a well as kill some of the germs. Still, these products only provide fresh breath for no longer than one hour. It is with this in mind that I present to you the ONLY product on the market that is clinically proven to provide fresh breath for at least 24 hours with twice daily use. SmartMouth (http://www.smartmouth.com/) Mouthwash is the only product in the third generation of mouthwashes which not only eliminates odors, but also prevents those odors from returning for at least a 12 hour period. This means that SmartMouth lasts at least 12 times longer than any other leading mouthwash available to consumers. Recently, the Better Business Bureau’s National Advertising Division, whose sole purpose is to foster truth in advertising, reviewed all of SmartMouth’s claims and they determined that the following have, in fact, been substantiated:

1. SmartMouth does provide 12 hours of fresh breath after each rinse
2. No other leading mouthwash provides fresh breath for longer than one hour
3. With SmartMouth, you can wake up with fresh breath every day

You may be asking yourself, how does SmartMouth work?

SmartMouth uses a patented, dual-solution technology that requires two key ingredients to be kept separate until just prior to rinsing. This insures that SmartMouth is freshly activated with each use to provide unmatched, long-term fresh breath. SmartMouth's oxidizer in Solution 1, like second generation mouthwash products, eliminates existing bad breath when you rinse. But unlike generation one products, it does not kill germs. SmartMouth's zinc ion technology actually prevents new bad breath from returning for at least 12 hours, that’s 24 hours of freshness with twice daily use! One rinse in the morning prevents bad breath all day, and one rinse at night and you can wake up daily without morning breath.

SmartMouth’s technology was invented by the Chairman of Oral Biology and Pathology at the State University of New York, Stony Brook campus. It was then developed into SmartMouth Mouthwash by Triumph Pharmacuticals. Dr. Marvin Cohen, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of Triumph, is the driving force behind Triumph's commitment to education about and resolution of bad breath. He is recognized as a leading authority on the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of halitosis and most notably, he is the author of the bad breath (halitosis) section of the Encyclopedia Britannica, 1998 Medical Edition. Dr. Susanne Cohen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Triumph Pharmaceuticals as well. She has combined her dental and business experience to launch industry leading, cutting edge products for Triumph and now serves as the company's primary spokesperson.

SmartMouth Mouthwash is available in mint and cinnamon flavors. It can be purchased for approximately $10.99 at all of the major retail chains such as Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS, etc. SmartMouth can also be ordered online at http://www.drugstore.com/. SmartMouth is by far the best choice for everyone who wants to have the confidence of fresh breath anytime, anywhere.

My Take on the Product
I have to say that this product delivers what it says. I have tried many types of products to provide me with fresh breath in the past as I do struggle with this time to time (my wife will attest to this), but just as you read above, most products only last for a short period of time and then wear off. SmartMouth doesn't, but instead is long lasting and it definitely leaves you with a clean fresh mouth. I find that even halfway through the day I still have good breath, talk about long-lasting!

I highly recommend this to anyone who currently uses mouthwash (or should be), you will not be disappointed!

It's Grilling Time! Stepping Up For a Challenge...

I was recently challenged to go to Sams Club and shop for supplies to grill something amazing in preparation for Easter. Yes, I said Easter, and yes you can grill your meal on Easter. You don't have to simply use your oven! Anyway, I scoured my books and recipes and found an amazing looking pork tenderloin recipe that I knew would be perfect. The one that I found was called: Disappearing Tenderloin. Yes, this name sounded very promising, as with having two little divas with tastes that vary, I wanted something that would disappear from their plates. The recipe was found in the [amazon_link id="0811831973" target="_blank" ]Big Weber's Grilling Cookbook [/amazon_link]-a cookbook I highly recommend!

The recipe include the following:

CookingHeat Instruction - Cook With Indirect Heat on Medium

FOR THE MARINADE:
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pork tenderloin, about 1 pound each

FOR THE RUB:
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic

FOR THE PICO DE GALLO:
2 cups finely chopped ripe tomatoes
1 cup finely diced red onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons minced serrano chiles, including seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Extra-virgin olive oil

TO MAKE THE MARINADE: In a small bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients.

Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the tenderloins. Place the tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally.

TO MAKE THE RUB: In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

TO MAKE THE PICO DE GALLO: In a medium bowl combine the pico de gallo ingredients and mix thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour to fully incorporate the flavors.

Remove the tenderloins from the bag and discard the marinade. Coat evenly with the rub and lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Allow to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.

Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the centers are barely pink and the internal temperature reaches 155°F, 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill, loosely cover with foil, and allow to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before cutting in thin slices on the bias. Serve warm with the pico de gallo.

Back to my experience, this was a multi-step recipe and I am more of a one step kind-of-guy, but I tell you this was fun. I did document my experience at my local Sams Club below and I hope you will go and check it out.

I have to say that I was amazed at the variety that Sams Club provides its members. It had been a little bit of time since the last time I was at my local Sams Club, and in going this past week I was happy to find that the idea of providing bulk amounts for reasonable prices has continued in earnest.

I was happy to find some very good deals for people preparing for Easter including:

• Kingsford® Original Charcoal ($16.68) – Lights easier and burns longer with Sure Fire Grooves®. Ready in about 15 mins
• KC Masterpiece® Barbeque Sauce ($5.98 for two)
• Greek Orzo Pasta ($4.38 per pound) – Made fresh daily
• Delmonte® Corn ($5.58 for 8) – Perfect side dish
• 3-Gallon Beverage Dispenser with Removable Ice Core and Infuser ($19.88) – Ice core is great for keeping beverage cool while infuser can be used for adding flavor
• Easter Lilly ($16.88) –Traditional Easter plant with fragrant white trumpet flowers
• Porcelain Platter and Oval Bowls Set ($19.98) – Beautiful for entertaining, yet durable for everyday use

There were a ton of other great deals (some of which I used myself). What I am getting at here is that if you are not a member of Sams Club, or you haven't been there for a while, you should go and check it out as you may be pleasantly surprised, like I was, at the breadth and depth of what they have to offer customers!
