Lives on its magnetic dock, ready the moment you reach for it.

Three-minute shave

Lift it off the dock and your head is smooth before your coffee cools.

Shower-safe

Shave wet or dry, then rinse it clean under the tap in seconds.

No surprise charges

Blade refills are opt-in and off by default. Cancel in one click.

Mess-free

The sealed chamber keeps cut hair off your counter and out of the sink.

The three-minute shave

Lift off the dock. Shower. Done before your coffee cools.

Dock and accessories in the box
01

Grab it charged

It trickle-charges on the magnetic dock, so it's ready the moment you pick it up. No "is it charged?" guesswork.

03

Rinse and re-dock

Open the head, run water through, tap dry, set it back on the dock. The mess-free chamber keeps it off your counter.

Magnetic charging dock with the Pate suspended just above it
Dock-first design

Built to live on your counter, not in a drawer.

The magnetic dock is the whole idea. The shaver clicks into place, trickle-charges, and sits there ready, a considered object instead of a gadget you hunt for.

Honest runtime: 50 minutes off the dock, about ten shaves. Because it lives docked, you never count down the battery.

Honest IPX5

Shower-safe and rinse-friendly. We won't pretend it's a submarine.

Nobody submerges their shaver in a sink for half an hour. IPX5 means water jets from any direction, so you can shave in the shower, rinse it under the tap, and clean it in seconds. The sealed body shrugs off steam and splashes, which is what keeps it running like new instead of corroding from the inside.

Ergonomic vertical-handle grip, shaver held in hand
Mess-free chamber · ergonomic grip

No hair on the counter. A handle built for the curve of your hand.

The sealed hair chamber catches what you cut, so the sink stays clean, the thing partners actually notice. The vertical, rubberized handle reaches the back of your head without the wrist gymnastics, and it's the detail testers reach for first.

From early testers

What the first dome-shavers told us.

★★★★★ Shaved my head in about three minutes in the shower. The fact that it's always charged on the dock is the part I didn't know I needed.
MR
Marcus R.
Verified early tester
★★★★★ I've shaved my head for 12 years. I bought it because the blades are opt-in, not because of a discount timer. First brand that didn't try to trick me.
DT
Devon T.
★★★★★ No hair on the counter, my wife noticed before I did. It just sits on the dock looking like it belongs there.
PK
Paul K.
Verified early tester
★★★★★ The grip is the thing nobody mentions. It actually reaches the back of my head without me fighting my own wrist.
AG
Anthony G.
★★★★★ Five minutes start to finish, including the rinse. I keep it on the dock and never think about charging it.
RV
Ramon V.
Verified early tester
★★★★★ Bought it for my husband and he uses it every single day. The dock looks good enough to leave out on the counter.
CD
Carla D.
★★★★★ Close, smooth, and no irritation on my scalp. I was nervous about cuts and there have been none so far.
WS
Will S.
Verified early tester
★★★★★ I cancelled the refill add-on in one click just to test it. Worked exactly like they said. That alone earned my trust.
TM
Tobias M.
Verified early tester
★★★★★ Rinses clean in seconds under the shower spray. Honestly the easiest part of my morning now.

Straight answers

The questions you're actually asking.

01Will I get locked into a subscription?+
No. The blade Refill Club is a separate checkbox, off by default. If you don't tick it, you buy the kit once and that's the end of it. If you do, you can skip a shipment or cancel in one click from your account, no phone gauntlet, no email triage.
02Will it actually cut me?+
The five floating rotary heads sit flush to your scalp and follow its curve, which is what prevents nicks on a wet or dry shave. We won't promise "no cuts ever" as a headline, but with a daily-maintained head, a three-minute shower shave is smooth and irritation-free for the vast majority of users.
03Why only IPX5 when others claim IPX7?+
Because IPX5 is exactly what a head shaver needs. It is safe under shower spray and tap rinsing, which covers every way you will actually get it wet. IPX7 means full submersion, and shavers aren't meant to remain in a full sink for half an hour.
04How is this different from a $25 Amazon shaver?+
The magnetic dock, the certified IPX5, the 304-stainless 5-blade head, an opt-in (not auto-enroll) refill program, and a 60-day money-back that we honor with one email and no video proof. Those are the details you come to rely on by month three.
05What if I don't like it?+
Email us within 60 days. No video proof, no demand to return the blade heads, and refunds are processed in 5 business days. If Pate doesn't earn its spot on your counter or you find our spec sheet was lying, we'll make it right.
60day money-back

One email. No video proof. Refund in 5 days.

The guarantee is only worth anything if it's easy to use, so we made the return as honest as the spec sheet. Keep the blade heads, skip the runaround. And your 1-year warranty is never tied to a subscription, it's yours either way.

Ready when you are

Charged. Ready. Every single time.
