If I’m being honest, my two least favorite things in the world are to go to the grocery store and shave my face. And while I can’t just stop eating, in the past I’ve gone way too long without shaving—a mistake I regret looking back through my Facebook photo uploads. But now in 2020, shaving doesn’t have to be so miserable because razors are more than the janky plastic sticks that left us dabbing cuts with toilet paper in the ninth grade. (Not hating on all disposable razors, there are some great ones out there!)
But when it comes to advances in shaving, one new tech-forward razor is poised to be a game changer. The Heated Razor by Gillette Labs claims to be the world’s first heated razor, offering “the pleasure of a hot towel shave in every stroke.” That’s right, no more dousing your skin and blade in hot water to get the comfort of a hot shave experience. And as someone who loves the luxury experience of getting a fancy shave at the barber rather than going it alone in my tiny Brooklyn bathroom, it only made sense to test this razor out for myself.
Like I said, this isn’t the razor you learned to shave with. In fact, it’s not like any other on the market. This $200 electric razor is designed to heat in less than one second to provide an ultra-comfortable shave at a temperature you select (109 or 122 degrees Fahrenheit) thanks to a stainless steel warming bar located on the base of the disposable razor cartridge. As it’s electric, the razor sits on a sleek magnetic charging dock that has to be plugged into the wall. It’s also waterproof and can be used in the shower or the sink, which makes sense, because, you know, it’s a razor. The razor also uses Gillette’s “FlexDisc technology” to provide an even shave and “maintain skin contact,” which can be trickier than one might think when shaving the face.
