If shaving in the morning is a bit of a chore, the Panasonic Star Wars Stormtrooper Special Edition ARC3 shaver is here to the rescue. This special edition shaver takes heavy inspiration from the iconic stormtrooper uniform design, with the details from the helmet and even the space between the pauldron and chest piece captured on the shaver.

The Imperial Crest is even printed under the power button, just to further symbolise your loyalty to the Galactic Empire. 

To talk a little more about the hardware, the ARC3 shaver uses three hypoallergenic Japanese stainless steel blades set at a 30-degree angle and even has a beard density sensor built in to automatically adjust the shaver's power settings. The shaver can be used for wet or dry shaves, so it can even be used in the shower to save time.

There's also a pop-up trimmer that can be used for more detailed work around beard lines, sideburns and moustaches. 

An hour of charge gives 45 minutes of use, but a quick 3-minute charge will supposedly give enough power for one shave, although that will certainly vary from person to person.
