The worlds of grooming and GunPla fandom have officially collided with the launch of the Yoose × Gundam RX-78-2 Electric Shaver. Released in August 2025 as a China-exclusive launch, this collaboration takes the classic look of the RX-78-2 and fuses it with cutting-edge shaving technology, giving fans a collectible that’s both stylish and functional.For those unfamiliar, Yoose is a fast-rising personal care and grooming brand from China, known for sleek, minimalist designs and high-performance electric shavers. In recent years, Yoose has made waves with pop culture collaborations, including limited-edition shavers themed after Pokémon and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Gundam partnership marks their boldest crossover yet, bringing one of anime’s most iconic mecha directly into fans’ daily routines.This release goes far beyond a simple Gundam paint job. The shaver is finished in the iconic red, white, and blue of the Earth Federation’s hero unit, complete with panel lines, E.F.S.F. insignias, and a power button styled to match the mechanical detailing. Sculpted touches like a 3D model of the RX-78-2’s head and backpack push the design into true collector territory. Even the accessories are themed—the cleaning brush takes after a Beam Saber, while the travel case is shaped like Gundam’s shield, turning a daily routine into a mecha-inspired experience.Underneath the striking design is serious performance. The Yoose Gundam Shaver runs on a magnetic levitation linear motor capable of spinning at 14,000 RPM, paired with a five-foil wide blade headthat covers a 14 cm² surface for smooth and efficient shaving. Retailer listings also highlight USB-C charging, up to 90 minutes of battery life, and IPX7 waterproofing, making it as convenient as it is collectible.Priced at 1,099 yuan (around $153 USD), with promotional discounts lowering it to 699 yuan ($97 USD), the shaver initially rolled out in China but has already begun appearing through select international stores for eager fans abroad.What makes this collaboration stand out is how it balances both sides of its identity. For Gundam collectors, the master-grade level detailing and themed packaging make it a must-have display piece. For practical users, the specs ensure it’s more than just a novelty—it’s a grooming tool with the power to back up its looks.Even after 45 years, Gundam continues to innovate in ways fans never expect. With the Yoose RX-78-2 Electric Shaver, it proves once again that suiting up can take many forms—even in your morning routine.SOURCE: YOOSE WIEBO
