Until now, replicating the pleasure and luxury of a hot towel shave at home has been little more than a stubbly man’s dream. Today it’s a reality as GilletteLabs introduces the Heated Razor. It’s the first product of its kind, a next-generation innovation that makes it feel like you’re in the world’s best Turkish barbershop with every stroke. Gillette has always been about reinventing the experience of shaving. The Heated Razor by GilletteLabs comes with FlexDisc Technology for tracking the contours of your face, a lithium-ion battery for wireless magnetic charging, and premium-grade aluminum zinc handle. But the major upgrade here is a warming bar that literally turns up the heat to create the feel of a hot towel shave. The razor heats in less than a second. At the touch of a button, you’ll literally feel the difference, a warm and luxurious sensation with every stroke that transforms your morning shave into a daily indulgence. It’s available now, priced $200. And with Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s an ideal gift – especially if your dad’s the nostalgic type who likes the old-fashioned ritual of a wet shave.

How It Works

In its long history being one of the world’s pioneering grooming brands, Gillette has masterminded a number of major shaving innovations. A Heated Razor is its latest game-changer. Designed in Germany, the slick-looking razor uses five blades to ensure a close, comfortable shave, while the warming bar distributes heat quickly and evenly, providing warmth to your skin. The technology heats in less than a second, so you get the comfort of a hot towel shave with the push of a button. The temperature is adjustable, so you can choose between two levels of heat (109-119 Fahrenheit or 43-48 Celsius) to achieve optimal comfort. And there’s also an Intelligent Heat Control System, with four heat sensors that continuously monitor the warming bar to maintain a safe, consistent temperature.
