Groom U Toolbox
Too many men look at daily grooming as a chore they have to get through,
when in fact it's a rare opportunity for self-expression, to create
your own style. Philips is replacing the utilitarian tools of the past
with products, tools and an attitude that enables a truer individual to
shine through with the following tools of expression.
Choose Your Comfort Zone with Wet and Dry Electric Shavers from Philips
The Philips AquaTouch is the tool of choice for those with a tight
schedule and a strict budget. Fully waterproof and optimized for use
with gel or foam, guys on the go can shave and style in the shower. A
pop-up trimmer is perfect for maintaining sideburns and a moustache,
while the three-minute quick charge means they won't ever miss a shave.
Notes on the Philips AquaTouch:
-- More than 50 minutes of cordless shaving on one charge, or
three-minute quick charge for one shave
-- Built in dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably
closer

Do you really want to treat yourself? The SensoTouch 3D is the world's
premier wet and dry electric shaver using Aquatec technology, which
allows use of gels, foams or dry. The Gyroflex system traces every
contour of the face. Aquatec + Gyroflex = a flawless and effortless
shave every time.

strokes

replace it with sexy stubble, the Groom U toolbox offers the Philips
Stubble Trimmer. The Stubble Trimmer features precise cutting to any
length, even as short as 0.5mm, and has hardened steel blades that are
sharper than titanium and cut hairs without pulling.
