GyroFlex 3D Technology for Comfort and Performance

Comfortably Shaves Wet or Dry
SensoTouch heads let you shave any way you want. The Aquatec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with shaving cream or gel.
UltraPrecision Heads Shave Closer in Less Strokes
UltraTrack shaving heads catch every hair in just a few strokes with three specialized shaving tracks: slots for long hairs, channels for longer hairs, and holes for short stubble.
Cuts Long Hairs and Short Stubble
The DualPrecision shaving system is designed to effectively shave both longer hairs and short stubble for precise results and a smooth finish. Flexing heads stay in close contact with your skin, while the pivoting neck adds an extra dimension of movement--all giving you a close, fast and comfortable shave.

The replacement shaving unit is equipped with the patented Super Lift and Cut System which is designed to give you a close and comfortable shave as the first blade lifts while the second blade cuts comfortably below skin level.
