Visitors to the popup can enter a life-sized ‘toy-box’ style photo booth, posing next to their favourite Star Wars characters for Instagram memories.
Featuring V-Track Precision Pro technology, the shaver boasts 72 self-sharpening V-shaped blades and cuts at 151,000 times per minute without pulling or tugging. This technology positions each hair in the best cutting position, even on a three-day stubble for a shave 30% closer* to the skin, while leaving no irritation or burns.
The limited edition shavers will be available at the popup store till 3 December and until 31 December 2017 at selected electronic stores, major departmental stores and authorised dealers in Singapore as well as online - select “Singapore” for shavers available in Singapore.

Philips will also be presenting two special edition shavers featuring its cutting-edge rotary technology. Both shavers are part of a new range of shavers which emulate different characters from the Star Wars movie collection.
The shavers, a BB-8-inspired SW5700/07 (recommended retail price [RRP] S$149) and Philips Star Wars in Stormtrooper-inspired SW170/04 (RRP S$109) will be on sale at the popup.
The SW5700/07 has five-direction flex heads that glide close to the skin for a close shave, even in tricky areas along the neck and jawline. The shaver’s Aquatec Wet & Dry seal gives a close shave wet or dry, while its 50-minute running time gives you more shaves without recharging.
The rounded edges and four-direction Flex Heads on the lightweight SW170/04 shaver ensure a comfortable, protective shave. Its ComfortCut Blade System will get as close as possible to the skin while protecting it from nicks and cuts.

A third shaver, the Poe Dameron-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW6700/14 (RRP S$219) is available exclusively at the Best Denki store. Eight-directional ContourDetect flex heads automatically recalibrate to every curve of the neck and face. The design is inspired by Poe Dameron’s X-wing fighter, down to the scratched metal finishing and red stripes. The Star Wars features continue with a red X-wing symbol flickering during use.

The Philips Star Wars shavers will be introduced at wallet-friendly prices while still offering all-star performance. All Philips shavers make use of a proprietary rotary shaving technology that is designed to follow the contours of the face, offering the closest shave possible and can be used on-the-go for ultimate flexibility and convenience,” said Aw Ee Ling, Senior Marketing Manager, Personal Health, Philips Singapore.
