It's not often we see superheroes with beards. Sure, sometimes they do let their facial hair grow but most often, they appear clean shaven. This morning at a press conference, Gillette and Stark Industries have teamed up to advanced the shaving technology.

In what may be the most perfect union of superpowers, Gillette and Stark Industries have joined together with one goal in mind: create one of the best razors in the world. In fact, Gillette has allowed Stark Industries to take over its R&D department at World Shaving Headquarters to deliver an epic shave using Avengers-inspired technology.

Of course, Stark Industries is no stranger to the toughest technological challenges, having conquered robotics, aeronautics, fringe science, and weaponry. Yet, the task at hand is a tough one: setting out to build a razor that rivals Gillette’s best razor to date, the Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall Technology. But Stark Industries is up for the challenge.

“Gillette has developed one of the best shaving technologies around, but we wanted to see how Avengers-inspired technology would work in a razor,” said Abe Zimmer of Stark Industries.

The Gillette/Stark Industries collaboration has already taken the city of Boston by storm, as a joint Gillette/Stark Industries sign now adorns the top of Gillette’s global headquarters. And Stark Industries is taking this mission very seriously. Its R&D team has spent the last week using its own famous technology to build four prototypes of razors that promise to set a new standard for all razors going forward.

The prototypes have been modeled after members of the Avengers: Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, and Thor.

The Repulsor1 with Exoblade has an Arc Reactor Technology that generates a perpetual energy supply to obliterate face hairs with Uni-beam pulse bolts. The Gillette XL Gamma with stress-triggered sensors and an unstable molecular structure can increase up to 700% in razor mass and brute shaving force. The Gillette Ultra Strike is rebuilt with Super Soldier Technology and has a rare Vibranium-coated Shield Cartridge that shoots out from the handle to cut targeted hairs. And finally, the Gillette Thunder scorches hairs to the follicle with micro-lightning and an honor based gyro-gravity field to make it borrow-proof.

“Certainly, Stark Industries has access to technology much different than Gillette has developed over our 110 years in the grooming business,” said Stew Taub, Director of Shave Care R&D at Gillette. “We are excited to see what happens in testing as the Avengers-inspired technology is incorporated into the razors.”

Here's a video showing off the razors.

A locked metal suitcase was also sent to us.

Inside are the plans for the razors and some mock up prototypes.

For now, you can pick up the Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall Technology.

I have a beard so I don't use a razor............................. I think I found a reason to use one. 0_0

@gmanfromheck So, was that the lamest time-sensitive secret briefcase you've ever received?

Dropped the ball here... They could've made bank if they actually made them available with the replacements being the same as Mach 3 razors. I know I would've bought a Thor one.

Those are so cool lol

cool.

I don't like to shave but I would with Gillette Thunder

If I could shave my face with Mijolnir.... I'd be soooo happy

Cool. I always wanted to shave my balls with Thor's hammer

So is this to shave neck beards?

Don't drink and shave with the Iron Man one kids.

This is pretty dumb. I would rather just buy the nicest razor for the most comfortable/closest shave not the ones that look silly.

Hulk's razor looks like a GL ring

What happens if you aren't worthy to lift the Mjölnir razor though? Just sits on your bathroom floor? That buyers regret though. Also also sincerely, I would actually really want an actual razor that is advanced lightning that burns the hair of my face, sort of like laser hair removal because razors are so freaking expensive so the option of having a one user razor to permanently remove facial hair would be great… well unless I wanted a beard… but thats where the gamma razor can come in… they can make a razor that gives you a beard, Mastro style, by using minor levels of gamma radiation to trigger rapid hair growth. Or they can invent a Pym Razor.

Really?

I would without a doubt, 100%, guaranteed buy one of those!!! Those are by far the coolest looking razors I have ever seen. They're like those old school toothbrushes that I had as a kid where He-man or Optimus Prime held and charged your cheap electric toothbrush and talked if you pushed the button for adults

pfft

LOL

Interesting, kind of cool, but not for me (straight razor here). If I used a regular razor, I might consider one.

LOL! It's dumb... that said, I'd still buy one. ;)

That green one really threw me off, I see it so much more as Green Lantern than hulk (i'm assuming that's what it is?)

I wouldn't use the repulsor razor, no way.

I'm suprised there isn't a Hawkeye one. What about a Black Widow one for the ladies (Gillette Venus)?

While i don't use a razor to frequently, i would definetly buy one one. They look bad ass!

Looks ridiculous but hell I'll buy them!

Most of comicvine isn't old enough to shave...

@g_man Premium content shaving video? Haha

No Hawkeye Razor? WTF?

While the rest are just neckbeards that refuse to.

Free briefcases?!? Where do I sign up?

HULK SMASH UNWANTED HAIR!!!

Pleeeease, I think Stark Industries could have developed better razors than those.

"In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my shaved sight. Let those who worship evil's might, Beware my shaving power, Green Lantern's light!"

Was looking forward to the Black Widow razor.

I feel embarrassed to admit that I want one.

But, yeah, I want one.
