  • Can be used wet or dry. With creams or gels, perfect for a shave in the shower as it's 100% waterproof.

  • Micro thin foil is pretty amazing - but delicate and easy to tear.
  • Patented 5 blade cutting system - really does an amazing job.
  • Pretty decent razor, but after only a couple months of use, plug receptacle is corroding despite it being a wet/dry razor.

What customers say about "Control"

  • Control wise the shaver is very simple. It only has one button, the power button.
  • I get about 2,weeks of shaves from this before it needs a charge.
