A shaver is a personal grooming tool designed to achieve a well-balanced shave, combining closeness with gentleness. It operates by ensuring that the blades come in contact with the skin, facilitating the cutting of stubble, even in the nooks and crannies of the face. Shavers are known for their durability, longevity, and their ability to provide a high-quality shaving experience.
The main types of shavers are electric shavers and non-electric shavers. Electric shavers are equipped with gears, wheels, and bearings that lift and cut whiskers directly from the skin. These shavers are suitable for use by both men and women, and they are available through various sales channels, including hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty stores, multi-brand retailers, online platforms, and other sales outlets.

Individuals are investing in grooming products not only to enhance their physical appearance but also to boost confidence and gain a competitive edge in both personal and professional growth. For instance, in November 2022, Gillette, a U.S.-based brand specializing in shaving systems and cartridges, as well as Oral B toothbrushes, reported an 8.2% increase in quarterly income from operations, reaching 6.2 billion rupees. Therefore, the growing preference for grooming products is anticipated to contribute significantly to the shavers market's growth.

As of January 2021, consumer e-commerce represented 36.3% of the UK's total retail sector, with e-commerce revenue anticipated to reach $285.60 billion by 2025.

Major companies in the shavers market are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as waterproof designs, to cater to various grooming preferences. Waterproof design involves the engineering and manufacturing processes that ensure a product is resistant to water penetration or damage when exposed to moisture or submerged in water. For example, in July 2024, MANSCAPED, a U.S.-based personal care product manufacturer, introduced The Dome Shaver Pro, specifically designed for men who favor a clean-shaven appearance. This new electric shaver features a five-blade design and advanced FlexAdjust Technology, which adapts to the contours of the scalp for a precise head shave. Its powerful 9,500 RPM motor guarantees a smooth and swift shave, while SkinSafe Technology reduces the risk of nicks and cuts. The shaver is waterproof for both wet and dry use and includes a magnetic detachable blade pad and a long-lasting rechargeable battery. Additionally, it comes with a protective cap, travel lock, and a sleek hardshell case, making it ideal for grooming on the go.

Shavers equipped with multiple blades generally offer a closer and smoother shave by efficiently cutting hair, reducing the need for multiple passes. In May 2023, Panasonic Holdings Corporation, a Japanese electronics company, introduced its first 6-blade shaver, the Arc6. Engineered to remove thick stubble efficiently, the Arc6 can trim four times as many challenging, long, and flat-lying hairs in a single stroke compared to the Panasonic Arc5 5-blade razors. The Arc6 features two finishing blades, two lifting blades, and two innovative thick stubble blades with a hypoallergenic stainless steel coating, delivering a premium shaving experience.
In October 2023, Blackland Razors, a U.S.-based premium razor company, acquired Above the Tie for an undisclosed amount.
