About

The Braun Sixtant SM 31 is one of the most iconic electric shavers ever made — a design so resolved that it remained in production for decades with barely a revision. Its chrome-plated body and black foil head became the archetype for the modern foil shaver, and a touchstone of post-war German industrial design.
