Sharp ideas in men's grooming products: Shaving faces, heads and backs

Here's a look at a variety of helpful grooming tools for men, both manual and electric, so hairy bears can turn into smooth operators on the beach or at the pool:

Face it
The ShaveMate Titan6, right, is an awesome multitasker. Invented by Pompano Beach brothers Louis and Peter Tomassetti, the razor has six blades and is pre-loaded with shaving cream in the handle that will last about a week. Great for travel, the package even includes a handy self-sticking holder to hang the razor neatly in the shower.

The best part is a three-pack costs $9.99 at Walgreens.com or at ShaveMate.com. (The company also makes similar razors for women called the Diva 6.)


Scalp 'em
Combat the comb-over with these cute little head shavers that are crafted to look like cars. The HeadBlade Classic, right, ($13) will put the chrome in your dome with double- and triple-bladed versions. HeadBlade also makes an array of shaving products designed to fight skin irritations associated with shaving.

Our tester liked the HeadSlick Mentholated Shave Cream and the HeadShed Exfoliating Scrub, both about $9.Get them at drugstores or HeadBlade.com.


Get back
For the hairy bears out there, the Mangroomer Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver has an extendible handle to give cavemen the hand needed to get the job done back there. About $40 at Amazon.com or ManGroomer.com
Or try the Remington Body + Back Groomer. This cord-free, wet/dry electric razor does eight trimming tasks for one economical price. It comes with an extra-wide blade, a detail trimmer for sensitive areas, a foil shaver and two combs for different lengths. The extendable handle gives you extra reach. $39.99 at Target and Walmart.

No batteries or cords needed with the Razorba War Hammer Manual, right. We've nicknamed this device the Shaving Shillelagh (pronounced shalaylee). Stick your own razor into this plastic, hand-held razor extender and go to town. Safety directions say to "wear thick pants, shorts or a thick towel and eye protection when using this product." Don't say they didn't warn you. $29.99 at Amazon.com or Razorba.com.
