tech4xmas 2017 gift list: With the premiere of “The Last Jedi”, this Poe Dameron-inspired shaver (S$219) is an apt gift for the ardent Star Wars fan who wants everything in his life to be associated with the movie series. And as a wet and dry electric shaver, it gives a really close shave with its cutting-edge rotary technology.

The three shave heads flex in 8 different directions to catch 20% more hair with every pass.
Design and appearance wise the glossy SW6700/14 is based on the X-wing fighter that Poe Dameron pilots in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
I like the scratched metal finishing and red stripes.
This Poe Dameron-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW6700/14 is part of a trio of Star Wars themed limited edition shavers that Philips is selling in Singapore as part of a global collaboration with the movie franchise.
The other two models are the BB-8-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW5700/07 (S$149) and the Stormtrooper-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW170/04 (S$109).
These shavers are only available in Singapore until 31 December, 2017 with the SW6700/14 available exclusively at Best Denki.
Adding a nice touch is the red X-wing symbol that flickers during use.
Trying out the shaver, I found the Reflex Action system on the shaver provided a speedy close shave.
As it is moved over the skin, the shaver’s eight-directional ContourDetect flex heads automatically recalibrates to the curves of my neck and face.
Throughout the shave, I didn’t feel any pulling or tugging – because of the shaver’s V-Track Precision Pro technology, which uses 72 self-sharpening V-shaped blades cutting at 151,000 times per minute.
According to Philips, this technology positions each hair in the best cutting position, even on a three-day stubble (mine was a two-day old stubble) for a shave 30% closer to the skin and in fewer strokes, cutting up to 20% more hair compared to Philips predecessor shaver models.

With lubrication before and after the blades, Gillette’s latest razor shields skin against irritation from unconscious, multiple or unintentional re-strokes. Prices below.

The new Gillette Fusion ProShield razor promises to protect your face as you shave.
Global shave care leader Gillette today revealed the Gillette Fusion ProShield.
According to a study by Gillette, most men take about 170 strokes while shaving.
Two variations of the Fusion ProShield Razor are available: the Standard (Yellow), and the Chill with Cooling Technology (Blue).
ProShield blade cartridges fit on all Fusion and ProGlide razor handles.
However, many men shave on auto-pilot and can re-stroke up to 120 times during the shave, after the initial 50 strokes wipe away most of the shave gel, unintentionally causing irritation.
To combat this problem, the new Gillette ProShield features a new Lubrication Bar before the blades, in addition to the Lubrastrip after the blades, to shield skin from irritation.
