Norelco's design-y Sensotouch 3D: Strong enough for a man, but designed by a woman

Every time I see a new, fancy-shmancy shaver on the market I'm tempted to run out and buy one, especially when it's been heavily industrial-designed, like Norelco's forthcoming Sensotouch 3D. But then I think of manly Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune shaving with knives (if I remember correctly) in "Hell in the Pacific," and I figure my plain ol' razor is best, as I ain't no stinkin' metrosexual.

Still, if I was gonna break my rule, the Sensotouch would probably be the one I'd try out.

The multiple-articulated heads, the wet-dry functionality, the big-ass readout telling you how much juice you've got left; not to mention the fact that ID'er Byun Da-mi apparently slaved over this thing, as it took two freakin' years to design and produce. (There's a brief interview with Byun here.) The main thing stopping me is the $200 price point and the framed picture of Lee Marvin in my bathroom.

There's a review of the Sensotouch 3D here.
