Better coverage
Refine the mechanism and motion paths to reach more of the scalp, including the difficult areas around the ears.
ROBOTIC HEAD SHAVING
Making head shaving more accessible.
A familiar routine. A different approach. We’re developing a robotic shaving system to make regular head shaving easier for people who find it difficult to do by hand.
Working proof of concept. Seeking development partners.

Built around a real everyday need.
Early-stage robotics. Human-centred development.01 — THE PROTOTYPE
A working mechanism.
A clear next step.
ACTUAL PROTOTYPE FOOTAGE
The idea has moved beyond a sketch.
Our prototype brings together a mounted articulated mechanism, servo control and a rotary shaving head. It can already shave parts of the scalp.
CURRENT STAGE
See intermediate result Proof of concept
Coverage is incomplete, and results around the ears need improvement. Full-head shaving and independent use have not yet been established.
Explore an illustrative before-and-after view.
02 — EXPLORE THE IDEA
See how it
could look.
Compare short hair, a box cut with shaved temples and back, or a fully shaved head. Switch between the images or explore the model in 3D.
After: box cut — shaved temples and back, with hair on top.
Illustration, not a measured result.
This model is based on the current prototype, with approximate dimensions, a synthetic reference head, an illustrative salon chair and two proposed inspection cameras. The comparison does not demonstrate shaving performance.
3D ILLUSTRATIONDESIGNED AROUND PEOPLE
A regular routine.
Not always a simple one.
Reaching around your head. Guiding the shaver. Checking the parts you can’t see.
NeoShave began with the founder’s own routine of shaving one to three times a week. The question was simple: could a mounted mechanism make that routine easier?
We’re exploring this particularly for older adults and people with limited hand or arm movement, while learning from the people who may use it and those who support them.
03 — WHAT COMES NEXT
From proof of concept
to a more capable prototype.
These are development priorities, not features of a finished product.
UNDER DEVELOPMENT
Vision and quality inspection
Explore head-position tracking and close-up cameras that could help identify missed patches after a pass. The illustration shows two proposed cameras beside the shaver.
Contact-force feedback
Measure and evaluate contact between the shaving head and the scalp to inform the control system.
A setup that fits the person
Explore saved personal profiles, session-position checks and suitable mounting arrangements.
Simple maintenance and controls
Develop a quick-release shaving head for cleaning, along with reachable stop controls suited to the user’s abilities.
A CLOSER LOOK
From the workshop
to the idea.
Photographs of the current prototype and illustrations of what comes next.
04 — POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS
Two settings.
One everyday task.
More accessible
personal care.
A mounted system for people who regularly shave their heads and find a handheld shaver difficult to use. Installation, assistance and maintenance needs remain part of the research.
A helping hand
before the finishing touch.
A possible preliminary shaving step followed by a barber’s finishing work. We’re exploring whether setup, shaving and cleaning could fit usefully into a professional routine.
05 — DEVELOP IT WITH US

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Where we are
today.
Can I buy NeoShave now?
Not yet. NeoShave is a proof-of-concept project seeking partners and investment for further development. A commercial release date and price have not been set.
Does it shave the whole head?
The current prototype can shave parts of the scalp. Full coverage and results around the ears still need improvement. The 3D comparison on this page is an illustration, not evidence of full-head shaving.
Can it work without a helper?
Independent use has not yet been established. Checking the head’s position, controlling contact force and evaluating the complete user workflow remain development priorities.
How will the shaving head be cleaned?
A planned quick-release mount would let the shaving head detach for cleaning and refit easily. We want maintenance to fit into ordinary home-support routines. This mechanism is still to be developed.
Will it fit my chair or room?
Different mounting options are being explored. Compatibility with a particular chair, wall or room layout has not yet been established.
What kind of support are you looking for?
Development partnerships, manufacturing expertise and investment in the next prototype. We also welcome input from people who may use the device, carers and barbers.
