KAI Corporation is introducing an alternative to frequent cartridge replacements and plastic-heavy designs of conventional shaving systems with THOLL, a full-metal razor with a world-first, patented magnetic five-blade swapping system. Wholly plastic-free, THOLL is a durable, solidly constructed grooming product that makes the most of a magnetic attachment system with blade units and a front cover that snaps into place for a secure fit and a safe experience.
Crafted using world-renowned Japanese steel, the razor itself has a pivoting head that closely follows facial contours and delivers a comfortable, precise experience with exceptionally thin, lightweight blades for reduced drag and irritation.
When it comes time to swap out a dull blade for a fresh cartridge, THOLL's intuitive system makes it easy and touch-free.
