As men age, they almost always switch to electric razors as a safety precaution. However, the electric razor options are limited to the same ones a younger person would use despite major differences in skin. The Philips Master Shave is the result of thoughtful study and interviews with elderly men who expressed frustration with modern razors’ inability to tackle loose or wrinkled skin as well as difficulty cleaning. The result is one that gives independence back to the individual. More after the jump —>
The design gives independence back to the individual by utilizing customized ergonomics and a shaving head system adapted for their unique skin.
The shields in the front and back of the shaver retract when the slide in the back is depressed with the thumb. When placed under running water, whiskers are simply flushed out. This eliminates the need to remove the entire shaving head or release it using small tabs.
In current Philips models, each of the three rotary heads have a separate foil, leading to inconsistent pressure over the surface area of the shaving head. A unified shaving foil offers a solution to the problems encountered when the elderly shave over loose and wrinkled skin. A thin filament remains between foil sections to allow for flexing when needed.
