The world would be a better place if we didn’t need so much electricity. We’re all used to having electrical power whenever we want at our fingertips.

Take me, for instance. I’ve used an electric shaver for most of my life, which has no doubt wasted a lot of power.

But today I found a razor that you can charge by winding. A one-minute wind would generate enough power for a shave. That sounds pretty neat to me. Not only do you get a shave - you also get a bit of exercise working to power up your razor.

And this razor is not just a wind-up one. You can also plug it into a power socket or a 12-volt car socket, but who wants to do that when winding is much more fun? It’s also the perfect razor when you go camping in places with no electrical hook-up.

Go have a look at the Freedom Dynamo Electric Shaver.
