Want to shave when you’re going off-grid? The Freedom Dynamo Electric Shaver is the perfect gadget for the eco-concious bloke who wants to stay clean shaven whilst on his travels. You don’t even need to be traveling to enjoy a guilt-free shave either, as you can just use it at home too! Cranking the shaver for just 1 minute will give you enough time for a full shave, so there’s no need to worry about flat batteries ever again! (more…)

It’s refreshing to find a hand-powered green gadget that’s actually useful, particularly with the Piranha Dynamo and Rechargeable Shaver. With just 1 minute of cranking, you get 80 seconds of shaving time. If you charge up the shaver via the mains, it would take 8 hours and give you around 60 minutes of shaving.
However, if you’re in the middle of nowhere, a hand-powered shaver is a pretty useful eco gadget. If the shaver had some kind of generic charging socket, you could use a solar panel too. However, standardised charging sockets are a long way off, but it’s a simple idea that might sell a whole lot more gadgets.
