Does my electric outlet have a short in it or what?

I noticed every time I use my wahl electric razor my outlets will stop working. It seems that it's the only thing that causes them to stop working, my wife uses her flat iron, blow dryer, and curling iron and has never had a problem. The outlets don't have a reset button and won't reset if I use something that does have a reset button built in. They will usually work the next day.

    Your outlets aren't the problem. It's the Wahl razor.

    Test this: plug the Wahl in at a different outlet. If the outlet dies, it's the Wahl.

    The wahl razor may have a short in it. Get a new one.
