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.
“This collection will not only excite Star Wars fans
but also gentlemen who want to up their shaving game. 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.
