Why you should try the new Gillette Heated Razor

Help create the sensation of a hot towel shave at home with the latest innovation from GilletteLabs

A hot towel shave can feel like a rare luxury reserved for special occasions, but innovation from GilletteLabs means the experience is now available at the touch of a button.

Winning Engadget's People's Choice Award at the Consumer Electronics Show 2019, the Heated Razor is a game-changer in shaving. Containing a revolutionary warming bar that provides heat and comfort with every stroke, it gives the warmth and sensation of a hot towel shave at the touch of a button, making daily shaving a relaxing ritual rather than a chore.

It’s a world first, and here’s how the Heated Razor could revolutionise your shave:

Feel the heat

The centrepiece of the Heated Razor is its stainless steel warming bar. Distributing heat quickly and evenly across the skin, it instantly provides a soothing warmth that lasts throughout the shave, recreating the feeling of a hot towel shave.

As heat makes contact with the face, skin relaxes and hair becomes softer, providing a closer, more comfortable shave. As with a hot towel shave, the heat from the warming bar helps to clean skin by lifting dirt and impurities away, making shaving easier and leaving cleaner skin that’s less likely to be irritated.

Adjustable temperature

Every face is different, and the Heated Razor has been created with that in mind, offering two temperatures of 43°C and 50°C to choose from. Plus the razor remembers your preference for the next time you use it.

Safe and sound

Four intelligent heat sensors mean the temperature is constantly monitored to keep an even heat through the whole shave, while automatic overheat protection ensures a safe temperature throughout. It’s also 100 per cent waterproof, meaning you can shave however suits you best.

The best blade technology

Using the same blades found on the Gillette Fusion Pro-Series, the Heated Razor uses Gillette’s most advanced, thinnest and finest blades to ensure maximum comfort. It also contains Flexdisc, which perfectly contours to your face to provide contact with the warming bar on every stroke. It also looks great, with a premium-grade aluminium zinc handle.

Easy charging

There’s no need to mess around with wires, as the Heated Razor uses a wireless magnetic charging dock that automatically starts charging when the razor is placed on it. A full charge takes around six hours and provides 15 minutes of heat.
