To be fair, this made short work of completely shaving my head. A task complicated by my very dense and fine hair that feels closer to fur than hair.

But that circuitry is squirmily minimalist. I'm not sure if the chip has a dedicated charge control section built in, or if it's using software and unusual techniques to control the charging of the lithium cell.

But it works, and it works well while also managing to look very stylish and being much easier to clean than a traditional shaver.

Skeleton shaver with WEIRD charging circuit

A detailed look at a "skeleton shaver" from various online sellers, with some VERY weird charging circuitry. I'm not sure if the microcontroller has a dedicated charging function or if there's some majorly weird processor-abuse going on, but it's some of the strangest lithium charge control circuitry I've seen in a long time. On a plus-note it stops charging at 4V, but that may vary between units due to tolerance. It works as a shaver. I have super-fine hair that often clogs other shavers, but this one did a great job of shaving my head very quickly with just one or two stalls in the process. You can find these on eBay and AliExpress if you search for "skeleton shaver". Shop about, as the price varies dramatically. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators
