WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The price is concentrated in 360-degree flexing rotary heads, SkinGlide friction control and adaptive sensing. Its long two-year head interval helps prevent the running cost from matching a flagship foil shaver.

MATERIALS

Shaving surfaceMicrobead SkinGlide coating

Reduces drag across skin during repeated rotary movements.

BladesSelf-sharpening stainless steel

Maintains cutting efficiency across a long replacement interval.

GripRubberized polymer

Improves wet-shave security.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A comfortable rounded object with three 360-D heads, a grippy handle and a sensible pop-up trimmer. Rotary geometry is exceptionally forgiving around curved jaw and neck areas.

LONGEVITY

Open and rinse the head after use; replace SH71 heads at about two years. This low consumable cadence is a tangible ownership advantage, though station refills apply if you buy a dock bundle.
