The Only Out-Of-The-Box Kosher Shaver- Just Released and Only $17!
(Updated October, 2017) Last year we did a post on a new shaver by Norelco that is the first model in a long while that does NOT have the Lift & Cut technology. Why does this matter? Based upon information from KosherShaver.org (brought below) and the psak of HaRav Dovid Feinstein and other poskim, this shaver is indeed a kosher shaver out-of-the-box. It is available in 2 versions as below. Also please note that KosherShaver.org offers a free service to “kasher” other models of Norelco shavers that do have the Lift & Cut that needs to be removed.
Philips Norelco 6945XL Electric Razor – basic shaver, kosher as-is, corded, does not have beard trimmer (~$25) (Unavailable as of 2017)
Philips Norelco 6948XL/41 Rechargeable Cordless Razor – kosher as-is, without Lift & Cut technology, rechargeable and has beard trimmer, a great deal (~$34)
Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 1100, S1150/81 – basically same as above but is corded. Costs less (~$24). From my experience, a corded unit, while a little inconvenient is better as inevitably the batteries on these units stop holding a charge after a few years of use and with a cord you always have 100% power.
AMEX Small Business Saturday – November 30th – List of Local Businesses Participating
American Express is offering Card Members the opportunity to get a $10 statement credit (too bad it is not the $25 that it was last year) when they enroll their eligible American Express® Card and then use it to spend $10 or more in a single transaction at a qualifying small business location on Small Business Saturday – Nov. 30th, 2013. Sign up at ShopSmall.com. Below is a list of local merchants participating (Jewish business are only open Motzei Shabbos obviously):
Amazon Deal on Waring XL Stainless Warming Tray
Amazon has a great deal on the Waring WT90B 400-Watt Stainless-Steel Warming Tray. It usually goes for $60 or more but is now priced at $46! It gets excellent reviews and might be really good for Shabbos as it is 16.5″ long as opposed to the more typical 12″ size. It is adjustable so you may have to ask your Rav about covering the knob but being adjustable it might be more useful than the more heimish made in Israel platas that always seem too hot and scorch the food. Amazon deals change fast so price is not guaranteed.
Amazon Big Pre-Black Friday Deals on Shoes Including Eccos
Amazon has some great shoe deals right now, in particular some of the best prices ever on men’s Ecco shoes. For example, Men’s Ecco Seattle Slip-ons just $100. Click here to view all the Ecco deals>>

Low Price on an Electric Menorah
Amazon has got the Rite-Lite Judaica Deluxe Silvertone Plastic Electric Menorah for the lowest price around just $24. Of course it is not kosher to use an electric menorah to fulfill the mitzvah but this might serve as a beautiful window display or something for the younger kids (bulbs are hot though). Or it may be a way to bring Hannukah to people in the hospital or in places where it is difficult to light a fire. These usually sell for over $35 in the stores. And it is more than 15″ tall!
