A few years ago Amazon started selling a version of the Norelco electric shaver that does NOT feature the Lift & Cut technology which makes for an out-of-the-box kosher shaver without any modifications. Our post from then appears below with a number of important links to learn more about the the various halachic approaches, and different models available.
UPDATED FOR 2017 – 2 Recommended Models
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.
But this week, just in time, Amazon has dropped the price on the Philips Norelco HQ6900/41 to just $24.95. This shaver clearly features the “Closecut” technology which despite its name does not have any extra features that make it a halachic issue. It is not a Lift & Cut shaver. This is a very bare bones shaver – corded and it has no rear beard trimmer. For $10 more you could buy the Philips Norelco 6948XL/41 which is cordless and has a beard trimmer. The price will not stay this low for long.
NEW LOCATION – 2507 Claver Road

It’s one of the changes that’s been talked about forever and ever — Sunday hours for the West Side Market.
Well, it’s finally happening.
The City of Cleveland confirmed that the market will be open on Sundays from noon to 6 beginning April 3. As Michelle Jarboe of the Plain Dealer notes in her report this morning and as we relayed in the story above, it doesn’t mean every vendor is going to be open — some, in fact, are very opposed. But the city says a survey showed 70% of vendors were in support of Sunday hours so the abstainers shouldn’t number too many.
