In a process for preparing polyols containing isocyanurate groups by reacting PIR with short-chain, hydroxyl-containing compounds, the reaction of the PIR is carried out in the presence of carrier polyols having an OH number of at most 500 mg KOH/g and a molecular mass of at least 450 g/mol. The polyols containing isocyanurate groups prepared by this process can be used for producing PUR and PIR.

A unique, highly effective, electric dry shaver incorporating rotary cutting blades for use by women to effectively, conveniently, and comfortably shave both legs and underarms is achieved by incorporating a blade guard removably mountable to the electric shaver for partially blocking the rotary cutting blades while also smoothing and/or stretching the soft underarm skin.
