The Second Shaver Every Man Needs — And Loves to Receive

Small enough to forget it's there. Useful enough to wonder how you ever lived without it.

Short answer: a "second shaver" is a compact, cordless electric razor you keep alongside your main one — in a wash bag, a desk drawer, a gym kit or a cabin bag. It isn't meant to replace the shaver by your sink. It's the one that's there for the early starts, the touch-ups and the trips away. The best of them are pocket-sized, properly waterproof and charge over USB-C, yet still give a clean, comfortable shave. The YOOSE MINI 5 was built to be exactly that — a luxury pocket shaver good enough to carry everywhere, and one of the easiest gifts you'll ever buy for a man.

Most men already own a razor, and it usually lives in one place: beside the bathroom sink. The trouble is that life doesn't always happen beside the bathroom sink. The early-morning business trip, the unexpected overnight stay, the gym before an evening out, the last-minute meeting after a long day — those are the moments a second shaver quietly earns its place. Not as a replacement for your main razor, but as the backup that's always with you.

Why every man needs a second shaver

Think of it as the razor that goes where your main one doesn't. Your everyday shaver belongs at home; your second shaver belongs everywhere else. Whether you're travelling for work, heading to the gym or freshening up before something that matters, the MINI 5 is ready when you are.

Because confidence often comes down to the small details — a clean collar, polished shoes and a smooth shave at the right moment.

The luxury pocket shaver

Plenty of travel razors feel like a compromise: cheap, plasticky, the sort of thing you tolerate rather than enjoy. The MINI 5 was designed to be the opposite. A considered, grown-up design and a no-slip, soft-touch finish give it a genuinely premium feel, so it looks as good on a hotel shelf as it does in your hand. It's the difference between a backup you put up with and one you're quietly pleased to own.

That premium feel is exactly why it works so well as a gift. It doesn't look like a stocking-filler — it looks like something you'd choose for yourself.

Small enough to forget. Useful enough to never leave behind.

A second shaver only works if it's genuinely easy to live with. The MINI 5 was designed around that idea:

• Compact enough to disappear into any bag or pocket
• USB-C rechargeable, using the same cable as your phone
• IPX7 waterproof, for wet or dry shaving and a quick rinse under the tap
• Fitted with a travel lock, so it won't switch itself on in your bag
• A precision foil head that's comfortable enough for everyday use

No bulky charging dock, no extra cables, no fuss. Just a premium shave wherever the day takes you.

The Father's Day gift he'll actually use

Buying for men is notoriously hard. Most men won't buy themselves a second shaver — but once they own one, they quickly wonder how they ever managed without it. That gap between "wouldn't buy it himself" and "uses it every week" is exactly what makes the MINI 5 such a good present, and exactly why so many of our customers buy it as a gift rather than for themselves.

It makes a brilliant Father's Day gift: practical, premium and genuinely useful — the kind of present that earns a permanent place in his routine rather than the back of a drawer. He gets a smarter shave on every trip; you get the easiest "sorted" of the year.

(It works just as well year-round, too — for birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas.)

Built for travel. Designed for everyday life.

Don't let the size fool you. Inside that pocket-sized body is a properly capable shaver:

• A precision foil system with 5 shaving elements and a 14cm² ultra-wide head, for a clean shave in a single swipe
• A 14,000 RPM ultra-fast linear motor
• IPX7 waterproof — submersible to 1 metre, fully washable, for wet or dry shaving
• USB-C fast charging, using the same cable as your phone — charge quickly and shave for weeks
• Up to 90 minutes of runtime per charge
• A pocket-sized body weighing just 117g, with a no-slip, soft-touch finish
• Magnetic shaving head and magnetic cap, for quick swaps and tidy storage
• A travel lock, so it stays off in your bag and ready to fly in your cabin bag

An award-winning design, recognised by both the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award.

Whether you're heading across town or across the world, the MINI 5 is always ready — because the best shaver isn't necessarily the one you use every morning. It's the one that's there when you need it most.

Frequently asked questions

Is a second shaver worth it if I already own a good razor?
Yes — the two do different jobs. Your main shaver handles the considered, everyday shave at home. A second shaver handles everywhere else: the trips, the touch-ups and the days you're not at your own sink.

Can I use the YOOSE MINI 5 in the shower?
Yes. It's IPX7 waterproof, so you can shave wet or dry and rinse it clean under the tap.

How is it charged?
Over USB-C — the same cable as most modern phones — so there's no special charger to pack.

How long does the battery last?
Up to 90 minutes of shaving per charge, which for a backup razor used for touch-ups tends to last weeks between charges.

Does it make a good gift?
It's one of our most popular gifting choices, especially around Father's Day — practical, premium and easy to wrap.
