MANSCAPED Dome Shaver Plus Review: Effortless Grooming Awaits
While MANSCAPED is probably best known for manscaping products like The Lawnmower 5.0 Ultra, they actually offer a full suite of men’s grooming products, including beard trimmers, face shavers and head shavers like The Dome Shaver Pro that we reviewed back in the summer.
Now we’re back to test out their latest head shaver, the MANSCAPED Dome Shaver Plus. As the name suggests, this is their next step down in the lineup (Plus -> Pro), but it still delivers a fast and easy way to keep your head looking sharp and smooth, albeit at a slightly lower price point thanks to a few minor concessions that’ll explain in more detail shortly.
Both shavers are equipped with MANSCAPED’s FlexAdjust technology, designed to help keep each blade in close contact with the scalp to ensure a close, even shave, and leaving no hairs behind. Coupled with the ultra-thin blade guards and flexible neck, these shavers work to take your head from stubbly to stunning in record time.
As you can see in the photos, the design is similar to what you find on many electric shavers, but this bad boy is specifically designed for your head. Simply hold the Dome Shaver Plus by the handle or palm the blade pad with your hand, and gently glide it across your head, making straight and circular motions until you’ve covered the desired area. It’s quick and effortless.
Here are the key features of the MANSCAPED Dome Shaver Plus:
- SkinSafe® Technology: Safety meets precision with SkinSafe® Technology, ensuring a shaving experience that’s gentle on the skin. Designed to minimize nicks, cuts, and irritation, it’s ideal for head shaving, where the skin is more sensitive and prone to discomfort. This feature allows you to confidently achieve a smooth finish without fear of accidents.
- Four Double-Track Blade Heads: The Dome Shaver Plus is equipped with four double-track blade heads, offering twice the coverage per stroke compared to traditional blades. These heads glide effortlessly across the scalp, efficiently cutting hair while reducing shaving time. The multi-directional design ensures consistent results, even on hard-to-reach areas like the back of the head.
- Curved Blade Pad: The curved blade pad is engineered to follow the natural contours of the scalp, delivering a close and uniform shave. This feature allows the shaver to adapt to the unique shape of your head, ensuring every stroke maintains consistent contact for a flawless finish.
- Waterproof: Whether you prefer a quick dry shave or a relaxing wet shave in the shower, the Dome Shaver Plus has you covered. Its waterproof design makes it easy to clean and maintain while giving you the flexibility to use it in any environment.
- Long-Lasting Rechargeable Battery: With a high-capacity rechargeable battery, this shaver delivers extended use on a single charge. Forget frequent recharges, the Dome Shaver Plus ensures you’re always ready to groom, whether at home or on the go.
- 8,000 RPM Motor: Power and efficiency come together with its 8,000 RPM motor. This high-speed motor provides consistent cutting power to tackle all hair types, from fine stubble to coarse strands, ensuring a smooth shave with every use.
- Ultra-Thin Stainless-Steel Blade Guards: The ultra-thin stainless-steel blade guards provide added protection while maintaining exceptional cutting precision. They act as a buffer between the skin and the blades, reducing irritation and enhancing comfort for a seamless shaving experience.
- FlexAdjust Technology: FlexAdjust Technology allows the blades to pivot and adapt to the curves of your scalp. This innovation ensures the shaver stays in close contact with the skin, providing a consistent shave while minimizing pressure and discomfort on uneven surfaces.
- Ergonomic Handle: Designed with user comfort in mind, the ergonomic handle offers a secure and comfortable grip. Whether you’re shaving wet or dry, this handle provides optimal control, reducing hand fatigue during extended grooming sessions.
- Magnetic Detachable Blade Pad: The magnetic detachable blade pad makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. Easily remove the blade pad for quick rinsing or replacement, ensuring your shaver remains hygienic and ready for use.
- Hair Chamber: The built-in hair chamber collects cut hair during use, keeping your sink or shower clean. This convenient feature saves time on post-shave cleanup, making your grooming routine hassle-free.
- Up to 60 Minutes of Runtime: With up to 60 minutes of runtime on a single charge, the Dome Shaver Plus ensures you have plenty of time to perfect your look. This extended battery life is ideal for full grooming sessions or quick touch-ups, even when you’re on the move.
- Protective Cap: The included protective cap shields the blades when not in use, keeping them clean and sharp while preventing accidental damage. It’s a practical addition for safe storage or travel.
Needless to say, The Dome Shaver Plus isn’t exactly lacking in features. So how does it differ from The Dome Shaver Pro, and which one should you go with?
The main differences are that The Dome Shaver Plus has 4 blade heads (the Pro has 5 blade heads), it has an 8,000 RPM motor (the Pro has a 9,500 RPM motor), and it has 60 minutes of runtime (the Pro has 90 minutes of runtime).
Furthermore, The Dome Shaver Plus doesn’t come with a travel lock (a handy feature which protects your head shaver from accidentally turning on while it’s in your suitcase or carry-on, but not a big deal if you don’t plan on traveling with it), it doesn’t come with a travel case (not needed if you’re not traveling with it), and it doesn’t support wireless charging.
Personally, I don’t see these as major concessions, the only real downside being that it might take an extra few minutes to shave your head given the one less blade head and the slightly slower motor. On the flip side, you’re saving $40, and you’re still walking out of the house with an exceptionally smooth dome. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
On the shaving front, The Dome Shaver Plus features a flexible neck, ultra-thin foils, and four independent floating blade heads, designed to float over any bumps and curves of your head, providing a .10 mm smooth shave. And with an ergonomic handheld design and curved blade pad, you can comfortably navigate different types of head curvature with ease.
Not a fan of dry shaving? With the MANSCAPED Dome Shaver Plus, you can shave however you want since it’s waterproof (IPX7 rated). Take it in the shower and pair it with their Power Shave Gel for optimum glide. Or shave dry. No judgement, do whatever feels best for you. In addition, the magnetic blade pad and hair chamber can be detached to empty clippings so you can rinse the blades under running water for easy clean-up.
And if you forgot to charge your shaver and now it’s dead, not to worry, as there’s a 10-minute quick charge option, while a full charge via USB-C takes roughly 90 minutes and gives you up to 60 minutes of runtime.
MANSCAPED has once again delivered a fantastic head shaver that delivers impossibly smooth results in record time, while not breaking the bank, coming in at just $99.99. So if you’re ready to take your head shaving game to the next level, order yourself The Dome Shaver Plus today!
