Get ready for a shaving breakthrough. With the Activator self-cleaning shaving system, Braun brings cutting edge technology to the modern face. At the heart of the system is a revolutionary new "Smart Foil." This unique material has differently shaped holes that capture hair growing in any direction for a closer shave in fewer strokes-- even in problem areas like the neck. The other key feature of the system is called "Clean and Renew," an automated cleaning technology that keeps the Activator feeling like a new shaver every time you use it.
All in the Head
The Activator's unique head boasts a number of clever innovations,
not the least of which is the smart foil. The foil is made up of
differently shaped holes which, in combination with other Activator
technologies, effortlessly shaves any hair type in fewer strokes.
The holes within the foil vary in direction, size and shape-- much
like the hair on the face. This variation allows more hairs to be
captured on each stroke. The smart foil provides no less than 20
different hair-capturing opportunities compared to ordinary shaver
foils that only provide one.
What's more, the shaver head also oscillates from side to side. These micro-oscillations enable the shaver foils to capture even more hair, and provide smoother gliding for maximum skin comfort, even in sensitive areas like the neck. Meanwhile, the Activator's shaving head adjusts automatically to facial contours, ensuring the shaver foils are always in optimal contact with the skin. This contour-hugging action can be switched off for facial areas where manual control is preferred. A three-stage cutting system is integrated into the head that works to deliver smoother, faster shaving results. First, the top foil shaves short hairs and stubble. Next, the Activator's high-performance middle trimmer effortlessly cuts longer hairs, before the second foil completes the shave for an exceptional finish.
Clean Living
The Activator's clean and renew system keeps it feeling like a new
shaver. There are three different cleaning programs available, one
of which is automatically selected based on how often the shaver is
used and how much cleaning it needs. During the automatic cleaning
program, a fresh alcohol-based cleaning fluid is pumped through the
shaver head, so it quickly and hygienically cleans away shaved
stubble. During the intensive cleaning cycle the cleaning solution
is heated, so even the most stubborn debris and grease is removed
from the shaver head. The alcohol-based cleaning solution is
specially formulated for optimal hygiene. As an added bonus, the
cleaning formula also lubricates the cutting elements for optimal
cutting efficiency.
Once cleaning is finished, the shaver is silently dried using an inductive heating system. This thoroughly dries the shaver head to extend durability and maximize the shaver's performance. After drying, the shaver is automatically charged leaving it fully powered and ready to deliver peak performance at all times. Washed away stubble is retained in the cleaning cartridge, which can easily be disposed off with regular household garbage. There are no filters to replace and no cleaning of the unit required. Everything is neatly contained within the cartridge.
Brain Power
The Activator uses a special control chip to optimize battery life.
This "Smart Logic" system is activated every time the shaver is
charged, and maintains the battery at its peak. The new chip
monitors the battery performance and services the battery when
needed by discharging and recharging it automatically. This means
the Activator is always ready for ultimate shaver performance
whenever you need it.
Fully charged, the shaver offers up to 50 minutes (2-3 weeks) of cordless shaving. The batteries fully recharge in one hour, and there's a quick charge mode that gives you enough juice for one shave after a three minute charge. The Activator uses environmentally friendly Ni-MH batteries and features automatic worldwide voltage adjustment. If you desire, cord power can also be used with the Activator.
