Ivor’s Foil Shaver
Two thin foils · centre trimmer · small head for the neck
Built by a retired toolmaker who had shaving rash on his neck for fifty years, and finally took every razor he owned apart to find out why.
“Nothing below the skin. That was the whole idea.”
70 min
shaving per 1-hour charge
3 days
of stubble, no problem
90 days
to try it at home
“Five blades and my neck got worse every year. The barbers already had the answer: finish with a foil. I just put it into something an ordinary bloke can use at his own basin.”
Ivor Treadgold, 71, retired toolmaker

Why it’s kinder to your neck
No. 01
Two thin steel foils
The hair pokes through thousands of tiny holes and is cut level with the skin. The cutter never touches you, and nothing is pulled out and sliced below the surface.
No. 02
A trimmer in the middle
Between the foils sits a narrow trimmer that lifts and cuts the long, flat hairs on the neck first, so you don’t go over the same spot five times.
No. 03
A head made for tight spots
About two fingers wide. It reaches under the jaw, around the Adam’s apple and under the nose, the places big shavers miss.
No. 04
Floats with the jawline
The cutting unit tilts slightly to follow the curve of your jaw and throat. You hold it lightly instead of pressing.
No. 05
Waterproof to IPX7
Shave dry at the basin or wet in the shower with a little gel. Rinse it clean under the tap in seconds.
No. 06
One button and a travel lock
Press once to start. Hold for three seconds to lock it, so it never switches on in a bag.
How to use it
- Shave first, wash after. A foil works best on dry skin. Or use it in the shower with a little shaving gel.
- Lift your chin and stretch the skin. Pull the neck skin gently tight with your free hand.
- Let it glide, don’t press. Use small, slow circles on the neck, where the hairs grow in every direction, and straight strokes on the cheeks.
- Rinse and dry. Hold the head under warm running water, shake it off and let it dry with the cap off.
A 5-blade razor vs. a big electric vs. Ivor’s shaver
| 5-blade razor | Big electric | Ivor’s | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where it cuts | Just below the skin | At the skin | At the skin |
| Neck hairs | Tugged, then cut | Often missed | Trimmer catches them first |
| Under the jaw | Reaches, but nicks | Head too big | Small head fits |
| Monthly refills | Yes | No | No |
| Shower use | Yes | Some models | Yes, IPX7 |
| Charging | None | Often a stand or the shaver socket | USB-C, any charger |
The first two weeks
If you have shaved with a blade for decades, your skin needs a little time to get used to a foil. For most men that is about two weeks. Some days in the beginning feel almost too easy, a few may feel a little tender. That is normal, and it passes. Give it the full two weeks before you judge it, and use the tips above.
Designed in a Coventry garage
Ivor Treadgold spent 44 years making press tools and moulds in the toolroom of a Coventry car-parts supplier, and fifty-three years shaving every morning. His face was fine. His neck never was: red bumps under the jaw, a sting that lasted till lunch and little nicks that bled into his collar.
When he retired, he put his razors under the magnifier from his old bench and saw the problem a toolmaker would see: blades that tug the hair before they cut it, and electric shavers too big and too clumsy for the neck. Three winters and fourteen versions later, he had a shaver he could use every day without thinking about his neck.
Since 2024, a little over 1,600 have gone out, almost all by word of mouth. This winter Ivor and his wife Sheila are moving to Cornwall, and the last ones are being packed at their kitchen table by their granddaughter Bryony.

What a barber says
“Every fade I do, the last thing that touches the neck is a foil, not a blade. A foil can’t go below the skin. It only takes what’s sticking out. Ivor took that and made it work at home.”
Dev Mistry, barber on Earlsdon Street for 31 years

Questions people ask
Is it as close as a blade?
On a flat cheek, a fresh blade can be a whisker closer. On the neck and under the jaw, most men find it smoother, because the foil cuts at skin level without tugging and you need far fewer passes.
Will it handle a few days of stubble?
Yes, up to about three days thanks to the centre trimmer. After a week or more, trim it short first, then shave.
How long does the battery last?
About 70 minutes of shaving on a one-hour charge, which is roughly three weeks of daily shaves for most men.
Is it safe for an older parent?
There is no open blade. If a hand isn’t steady, the foil keeps the cutter away from the skin. One button, nothing to set up.
Do I need to buy refills?
No. There are no cartridges and no refills. Rinse it after every shave and the foils stay sharp for a long time.
How fast is it dispatched?
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days with tracking.
Ivor’s promise
90 days to decide. Give it the two weeks your skin needs, then give it another two. If your neck isn’t better, send it back and you get your money back. “I don’t want anybody keeping a shaver that ends up in a drawer,” Ivor says. “I’ve got a whole drawer of those already.”
Care & use
Rinse the head under warm running water after every shave and let it air-dry with the cap off. Use the brush for the odd hair that sticks. Charge it whenever it runs low, from any USB-C phone charger, laptop or car charger. Don’t press the foils with your fingers or a hard object, they are thin on purpose. Keep the cap on when it travels.

A message from Ivor:
For 44 years I made press tools and moulds in the toolroom of a Coventry car-parts supplier, and for most of those years my neck was sore by lunchtime. After I retired I spent three winters in the garage taking apart every razor and shaver I had ever bought, and I built fourteen prototypes until one finally shaved my neck without a single red spot. In January Sheila and I are moving to Falmouth to be near our daughter and the grandchildren, and the house and the garage are sold. The 238 shavers on the shelf in the garage are the last there will be.
The special price runs until the move on 31 January 2027. After that, Bryony keeps dispatching from Coventry until the very last one is gone.
When they’re gone, they’re gone.
