foil shaver

Oscillating facial groomer

A foil shaver is an electric razor that cuts hair using oscillating blades beneath a thin perforated metal screen.

The foil covers the blades and lifts hairs for cutting while protecting skin from direct contact.

Foil shavers typically produce a closer shave than rotary shavers but may be less effective on longer stubble: I switched to a foil shaver for a smoother finish.
