Iconic streetwear label BAPE has teamed up with personal care brand Gillette to launch the BAPE x Gillette grooming collection. The unexpected capsule merges the worlds of grooming and streetwear to offer a forward-thinking razor dressed in BAPE's signature camo prints.
Of course, at the center of the capsule, is the limited-edition camo print razor, which features a replaceable blade and several complementary accessories. These include a magnetic razor stand and a travel case, both of which also arrive dressed in the brand's blue camo print. Dual branding is found throughout the razor and its case, featuring both the Gillette logo and BAPE's iconic Ape Head motif.
The complete BAPE x Gillette grooming collection is set to drop sometime in the coming weeks. Those interested can sign up for notifications regarding its release on BAPE's website.
