Gently scooped housing and exaggerated radii were an attempt to produce am explicitly feminine shaver language, a project subsequently abandoned and revived only in the mid 1990's with the significant expansion of the female grooming category. Whether intended or not, this approach returned the design to pre-1960 associations with medical equipment. A distinctive rocking switch positioned on the base also marked this shaver apart from its male oriented counterparts.
