The blades on this device are powered by 13,000 rpm linear motor to give the device lighting fast shaving speed the cut through even the thickest of beards.

This means it limits irritation as much as possible. The foils and blades on the razor are ‘arced’ – this means they nestle gently into skin to get down deeper and give a closer shave.
The high speed linear motor operates at 13,000 rpm, which is a huge step above many other similar razors, which usually operate at around 8,000 to 10,000rpm.
