# Sleekly Slim Shavers The Gerhardt Kellermann Razor Design is Cutting Edge By John Ibbitson | Published 2011-12-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gerhardt-kellermann References: [gerhardtkellermann](http://gerhardtkellermann.com/shaver.html) & [gerhardtkellermann](http://gerhardtkellermann.com) This prototype of a new [manual razor blade-based shaver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harrys-plus), designed by artist Gerhardt Kellermann, is a working model that claims to have a better grip and handling control than standard razors. Crafted from stainless steel, its [sleek, minimalist, contemporary design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidewinder) is something to marvel at alone and would look like a gleaming jewel sitting amongst the rest of your [personal grooming devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foil-shaver) on your bathroom counter top. In order to achieve this spectacular, masculine design, Kellermann molded and shaped a steel wire which he then attached a “blade retainer” to. You know what they say about a man only being as good as his tools? Well, hopefully, someone will put this awe-inspiring design by Gerhardt Kellermann into production so that all men can have a shave that looks as good as their razor does. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Enhanced Grip:** The sleekly slim shavers trend focuses on improving grip and handling control compared to standard razors. - **Minimalist Design:** The sleekly slim shavers trend highlights the use of minimalist, contemporary designs for razor blades. - **Aesthetic Appeal:** The sleekly slim shavers trend emphasizes the importance of a visually appealing razor design for personal grooming devices. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care Products:** The personal care products industry can capitalize on the enhanced grip and minimalist design trend by developing and manufacturing sleek, slim shavers that provide better handling control. - **Men's Grooming:** The men's grooming industry can leverage the sleekly slim shavers trend by offering stylish, minimalist razor designs that appeal to consumers looking for aesthetically pleasing grooming devices. - **Artisanal Shaving Accessories:** The artisanal shaving accessories industry can embrace the sleekly slim shavers trend by creating handcrafted, visually stunning razor blades that blend functionality with artistic design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Electric Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc5.md) - [Cyberpunk-Style Face Shavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorzero30.md) - [Men's Safety Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supplys-max-razor.md) - [Contoured Ceramic Shavers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-shaver.md) - [Magnetic Full-Metal Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tholl.md) - [Modernized Single-Blade Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypebody-razor.md) - [Voronoi Handle Hair Removers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razor-epilator.md) - [Blade Control Shaving Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-single-edge-pro.md) - [Premium Electric Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3pro.md)
