Gillette announces the release of its first-to-market Heated Razor by GilletteLabs. This high-tech device delivers a sustained heat sensation via an innovative warming bar and provides the pleasure of a hot towel with every stroke.
The offering, which was originally available in only limited quantities in Fall 2018 on Indiegogo, is now available for pre order on Gillette on Demand and The Art of Shaving stores and website on May 3rd, 2019. The Heated Razor is the first innovation to come from the new GilletteLabs premium division.
“By fusing beautiful form with reimagined function, the Heated Razor from GilletteLabs truly elevates the shaving experience,” said Gary Coombe, CEO – P&G Global Grooming. “We know men love the sensation of a hot towel shave and now they can enjoy that same luxurious experience every day in their bathroom.”
