As a result, the exclusive Philips Norelco Star Wars-inspired shavers combine premium, cutting-edge technology with never-before-seen design features, emulating different Star Wars characters from both the light side and dark side.

"Philips is excited to work with the iconic Star Wars brand to lend new design inspiration to our line of innovative shavers," said Sasha Markovic, Senior Director Marketing, Philips Personal Care North America. "In developing this new line, we combined our advanced shaving technology, including V-Track Pro to trim even longer stubble with superior closeness and comfort, with the imagination of Star Wars. Now, you can unleash the force in shaving and be your best you."

The new Philips Norelco Star Wars range includes the following SKUs:

SW9700: Many could be lured to the dark side with the premium series SW9700, which provides exceptional comfort and closeness throughout the shave, courtesy of unique V-Track Pro technology. The dark side is featured in the shaver with a dramatic red to black gradient with a hexagonal patterning and a First Order logo power button. MSRP: $259.99
SW6700: Utilizing the Reflex Action system, the glossy series SW6700 X-wing fighter shaver guarantees a speedy close shave, automatically recalibrating to every curve of the neck and face.

SW3700: Equipped with self-sharpening, precision ComfortCut blades for a close shave every time, series SW3700 mimics R2-D2's mannerisms with a blinking on/off light and paneling up and down the body. MSRP: $49.99
