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!

How to trim a beard the right way — from stubble to full-on lumberjack
Choose the right beard, get the right tools, and master these techniques for a great look
Beard trimming

At first glance, how to trim a beard seems like an easy problem to solve. I have first-hand experience with this, as my beard grew out evenly when I decided to sprout one. Even better, it came in with a reddish color that complemented my long face and Scotch-Irish ancestry on my father’s side. The basic color and uniformity made it easy to overlook the inevitable mistakes I made, so the toughest task was reminding myself to trim every other day. Otherwise, I would grow a small beard forest that was tough to handle.
For many men, though, it’s not so simple. That’s especially true for beard novices and for those men whose beards serve up some surprises. When that happens, trimming becomes a tougher task, so a brief tactical review is a solid idea.
