ACE

Inspired by the Mod subculture of the 1950s, Ace is an electric fabric shaver that
reinvents the usability and appearance of the typical fabric shaver.

Ace Face is the term for the “perfect mod” person. This shaver is intended to enhance the
average “mod” by perfecting their clothes with a shaver designed for their era.
