To set the stage for why I speak a razor and not a user interface, I'll start this post off the coast with the famous statement by Steve Jobs in 2003:
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like." The design is how it works. "Steve Jobs, 2003 (source)
I bought a new Braun Pocket GB P-70 last year because it was on sale on Amazon for $10. I used primarily razors Gillette, but I thought that since my current electric shaver was sprint to death, I try a new. He was sitting in the packaging for a time under my sink in the bathroom, and I thought too much about it. It is time to go to IPA last fall, then I caught the new razor and taken with me in Boston.
With the help of it was fantastic.
He solved all the references, which I have had with other razors:
Shavers come with a lid in plastic to foil cutter which always falls and usually gets lost.Shavers electric have exclusive, integrated batteries that rarely hold a charge in the long term and require carrying a cable load.Most of the shavers can't get wet and you need to remove a small brush just to clean out the blades.The Braun GB pocket made all of this right. You can run it under water for washing, it uses two AA batteries (just changed my first value after 3 months of use of other daily; my plug-in Remington lasts barely 3 weeks on a charge), and it has a cover which slides up to protect the aluminium foil. It comes to designing great products.
There is something nice or fancy on the aesthetics of this device. It looks like mostly all other shaver autour. But obviously Braun stopped to find what was wrong with the other shavers electric and they were all right with the GB pocket.
I'll run with quote from Steve and create my own:
Design is carefully considered what problems must resolve, and create a solution that meets these needs in a way that is enjoyable to use.
It is common sense now, but there are certainly many blade products out there.
