Alpha Series Shaver

Alpha Series Shaver is an innovative personal care device that exemplifies the convergence of minimalist Scandinavian design principles with advanced grooming technology. Designed by Mert Ali Bukulmez, this semi-professional grooming tool represents a significant advancement in facial care solutions, incorporating both functional excellence and aesthetic refinement. The device features a compact form factor with dimensions of 55mm x 30mm x 150mm, constructed primarily from Xenoy (PBT+PC) through injection molding processes, with Santoprene rubber components added via double injection for optimal grip and comfort. Distinguished by its user-centric approach, the shaver incorporates an intuitive single-button interface with LED feedback system, indicating battery status through white (fully charged) and red (low battery) illumination. A notable innovation is its hygiene-focused design, featuring removable cutting tips that can be stored and sanitized in a dedicated dock equipped with UV light technology. The accompanying storage case, measuring 65mm x 50mm x 135mm, serves dual functions as both a charging station and a cleaning unit. The design, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Beauty, Personal Care and Cosmetic Products Design category, exemplifies a thoughtful balance between functionality and form, addressing contemporary grooming needs while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic appeal. The project, completed in Istanbul during 2019, emerged from extensive market research and focus group studies with men aged 18-50, resulting in a product that effectively addresses common user concerns in personal grooming devices.
