Overview
Gold TiN coated foils do the cutting on this shaver, which pairs a foil head with a rotary head type and runs on a rechargeable NiCAD battery or from a cord. The listing aims it at the face, head and neckline.
Switching between cord and battery means a drained pack need not end a shave, and the hypoallergenic, gold plated foil is aimed at close work. Against that, the runtime is stated two ways and no dimensions are given.
Who it's for
Daily beard, face and head shaving where a tight foil finish matters and an outlet is sometimes available. Shoppers needing wet use, a confirmed runtime or full body grooming should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Corded and cordless operation
- Gold plated foil blades
- Charger and cleaning brush included
- Limited warranty covers the first year
- Runtime figures conflict across the listing
- Dimensions not listed
- Wet use not stated
- Charge time missing
Performance notes
Foil shavers cut through slots in a thin metal screen, so closeness comes from how the foil meets the skin rather than from motor power alone. The title attributes bump-free results to the gold TiN coating, though the listing gives no test data. Battery runtime and the corded option decide how long a session can last.
