Abstract: A shaving emulsion for an electric shaver is provided, which comprises water, n-decyl glucoside as a surfactant, and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane (isohexadecane) as a lubricant. The shaving emulsion has excellent shaving properties, and is compatible with lacquer, printings and plastic, electrical, rubber and metal parts of the electric shaver. The mixture ensures that the shaving head can be very effectively rinsed and cleaned with water, so that an electric shaver which comprises a container in the form of a flexible plastic pouch (1) filled with such a shaving emulsion, is hygienic in use.

Abstract: An X-ray analysis crystal is also curved in a direction transverse to the dispersion direction to increase the radiation efficiency. As a result of this radiation diffracted at the crystal is focused towards a detector input. In order to ensure a non-deformable crystal surface the crystal is preferably bonded to a carrier having an adapted bonding profile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic material for use in the magnetic recording and playback of information, which material consists of ferrite particles having the composition A.sub.1-y Zn.sub.y Fe.sub.2 O.sub.4, wherein A is one or more bivalent metal ions, which material is suitable for use in a recording medium having a high information density in that the magnetic material comprises monodisperse ferrite particles having an average particle size between 5 and 250 nm, preferably between 10 and 50 nm, and in that y is between 0.05 and 0.35. The magnetic material preferably is Co-Zn-ferrite. The material is manufactured by coprecipitation of a mixture of hydroxides succeeded by recrystallization at elevated temperature and pressure.
