The razor’s high blade count allows the user to achieve a clean, super-close shave, even if you start out with a 5-day-old beard. The 72 rotating blades are a key part of the shaver’s patented Lift & Cut shaving system that grabs and lifts hairs away from the face to trim them closely while keeping skin irritation to a minimum. The shaver is also equipped with a pressure guard sensor that provides feedback on how hard you’re pressing down as you shave, as well as SenseIQ Technology, which helps it adapt to your face’s contours.

In addition, the shaver comes with a complete set of accessories. The pop-up trimmer is ideal for detailing sideburns and mustaches, while the self-cleaning pod keeps the shaver clean and lubricated with little effort. The set also includes a charging stand and a USB-A charging cord to ensure the electric razor is always powered up when you need it. A travel case keeps the shaver protected whenever you’re on the go.

Big Deal Days is Amazon’s annual October sale for Prime members, but it only lasts two days, so make sure to grab this incredible deal while you can!

Celebrities tend to play a huge part in pushing style trends on a yearly basis. In the early 2000s, the rise of the pop star launched the low-rise jeans. The hip-hop culture drove the explosion of sneakers and baggy clothing. And James Bond continues to influence the elevated looks worn by men everywhere.

When it comes to hair, Bruce Willis and Jason Statham made the bald look sexy, while the likes of Jason Mamoa and Chris Hemsworth brought the long hair vibe to the forefront. But there is a new hair trend returning to prominence, and it will bring back the nostalgic vision of the 90s: The surfer curtains.

Whether you are the kind of guy who likes to rock the clean shaven look while you conquer Wall Street in a suit, or you are the kind of guy that likes to sport the long and thick mane of a beard while you work outdoors, you have to shave your face. Shaving all over or simply shaping your beard means you are involved in the age-old question of electric shaver vs razor. Of course, which you choose has a lot to do with your lifestyle.

Just like trying to decide what the best shoes are for you, or electing to dive into what the best suits are for you, it all comes down to the kind of lifestyle you lead. If you are an outdoorsman, you have very specific needs for your shave routine. It needs to be fast and portable. If you are a man with a love of luxury, then you may love to take your time with a solid routine. That may even be the kind of self-care you need to center yourself in the morning.

Most guys probably already know the brand Dr. Squatch. If you go to the men’s aisle you’ll see their deodorants, face washes, and most notably, their bar soaps, which are famous for having tie-ins with big franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the MCU.
