Saving Money With Tondeo Razor Blades, How To, & How to Figure Out Which Blade You Need

Saving money is always a good thing and I think you all agree.  In this economy times can be tough.  We sell various razors on our site but personally our fave is the Tondeo Sifter razor for a few reasons.  One: it's a versatile razor that can be used to not only razor cut hair but to shave your clients with.  Two:  Costs per razor blade is less than $1.00. 

We get tons of calls from hairstylists and barbers regarding Tondeo Haircutting and Shaving Blades and we have found alot of people aren't sure which blades to order.  I hope this helps clear up any confusion and helps you make the right choice.

Directions:

Each Tondeo Razor Blade is Invidually Wrapped in a Wax Type Parchment Paper, making it easy to safely snap the blades in half. Remove wrapped blade from box. Leave parchment wrapping intact.

Using your fingers, fold the wrapped blade in half
        

Fold the Tondeo TSS-3 Blade or Shorter TCR Blade, All the Way to Both Ends, Making Sure the Blade is Broken All the Way, From End to End       

Once Broken in Half, Align the Blades Holes up with Your Tondeo Black or Red Stabilizing Insert

                         
Use One Half in Your Tondeo Sifter Razor and Save the Other Half for Your Next Client!

The Tondeo TSS-3 and TCR Razor Blades are Two Blades in One!

What's the Right Tondeo Razor Blade for You?

If in doubt which blade you need, the Tondeo Sifter Razor can use both.  If you have the BLACK Stabilizing Insert as pictured above, with three holes you need the Tondeo TSS-3 Blades.  If you prefer the shorter razor blades or use the Sifter razor with the RED Stabilizing Insert (Note the two holes as pictured above), you should use the Tondeo TCR Blades.

Hairstylists tend to like the longer Tondeo TSS-3 Blades and most Barbers like the shorter Tondeo TCR Blades.  Oh, and the Stabilizing Inserts are often referred to "As that little plastic peice that goes in my Tondeo Razor"  :)

Unlike Most Razor Blades, You Get Two Uses Out of Each Blade! This Means That a Tondeo Razor Blades Costs 50 Cents each Rather than the Usual $1.00 Per Blade, Saving You Money! Chu-ching!! You Don't Have to Re-stock Supplies as Often Either, Saving You Time (and we all know time = money).

I hope this helps you out! For the Click Here for the Full Line of Tondeo Razors or Blades

Roc-it Dog Shears Give Back for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Roc-it Dog Shears is giving back by donating funds from each sale of Roc-it dog Shears to Breast Cancer Research and the second best thing these are PINK, unlike the other Roc-it Dog shears that are usually the traditional Roc-it dog trademark orange. They come in a 5.0 Inch and a 5.75 Inch length as well.

The other thing about the Roc-it Dog Shears that I like are the FREEBIES!  The Pink Roc-it Dog Shears come with a FREE Soft PINK Ruched Bag Perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness month, a FREE PINK Limited Edition Rotorazor and a FREE PINK Shear Sheath to Keep Those Shears Safe but in PINK Style!

The other thing I really like about the PINK Roc-it Dog Shears is that a portion of the sale is donated to Breast Cancer Research, my pet charity of sorts, as both my grandmother's had breast cancer and one died fighting a valiant fight against it.  More recently, my mother has had a double mascetomy after finding a lump in one breast. She is now cancer free! :) My hope is that Breast Cancer can become a thing of the past, and that my two daughters will never have to worry about it and we never have to see another woman suffer from this horrible disease.

PINKing UP Your Business During Breast Cancer Month, How to Help and Make Money Doing It

As you probably already know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Your Spa, Salon, Shop and yes, even your Barber Shop can not only participate and help along with your community but you can also increase your sales by PINKing up.  From the high end Spas to the corner Barbershop, you have influence and a means to help your community as well as the Breast Cancer Research or more directly individuals affected by Breast Cancer. Some suggestions are easy, no frill ways to help and others are more involved, but whatever you choose to do will make a difference.  YOU are an important influence in your community.  Don't underestimate how much impact YOU can have!

YOU = Information and Influence in Your Community

Who:  The first step in planning should be deciding do you want to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research, an Individual, or an established Non-profit Organization or do you want to simply raise Breast Cancer Awareness?  Either are GREAT!

When:  Decide whether you are going to have a month long event, a few separate events, one event or any event at all. 

Where:  Make sure whatever you plan will fit in your space or prepare to look for a venue.  Venues can be expensive but I have a tip for you.  Securing a FREE venue can be easy by networking with fellow businesses like restaurants, health clubs, even local pubs.  These types of areas can be FREE if you approach the owners with a plan that includes marketing for them.  By "hosting" an event these businesses benefit as well.


 
Studies have shown that people when offered comparable products, will chose the one that is somehow "giving back"  and the same line of thinking goes for locations.  If Restaurant A is offering soup for $1.99 and Restaurant B is offering the same soup for $1.99 but, they are donating ten cents to the local food bank, consumers are much more likely to choose restraunt B because they like that warm, fuzzy feeling of somehow making a difference and supporting a cause. 

What:  This is much harder to define. Based on your decisions for "who", "when" and "where",  you should now have a clear idea what your goal is.  If it is to raise funds, then you must have decide how much you wish to raise and how you wish to obtain donations.  If your goal is to raise awareness, then you should be guided by the prior  "who", "when" and "where" and decide the How.

How:  Here are some suggestions for you for both breast cancer fundraisers and breast cancer awareness campaigns.  These are in no way the only things you can do, these are only suggestions and I would love to hear what YOU are doing to make a difference!  Comments are most welcome.

One of our customer orders a case of these Diane Pink and Strong Foot Files from us every year.  She is a Stylist and a Survivor of Breast Cancer.  She retails the Diane Foot Files for $5.00 Each and Donates all the Profits to the Susan G. Komen Organization, Where You Can Find More Ways You Can Help!

The National Cancer Institue has FREE publications that can be downloaded and printed directly from your computer or ordered and mailed to you for a small shipping fee.  One Barber Shop I know added these pamphlets to their "waiting" chairs and vending areas, raising awareness.

National Women's Health Resource Center of The Healthy Women Organization Offers FREE Shower Hanger Cards to Promote Self Breast Exams.  Bulk orders are FREE only charging a nominal fee for shipping/handling.  One Spa gave EVERY customer (men and women) one of these in a Swag Bag of Pink Goodies.

The CDC also offers FREE Breast Cancer information and an E-Card that you can send  to all your clients at no costs to you!

GROOMING FOR THE PINK CURE – Beverly Hills Dog will donate a portion of all pet grooming proceeds during the month of October to help find a cure for breast cancer. All groomed pets will receive a breast cancer awareness bandana; parents will receive a pink carnation.  (I really love this!)

And finally, one aspiring Professional Pet Groomer said she was busy making Pink Breast Cancer Ribbons for the pooches as well as their owners to wear.
