Copenhagen-based Kilo Design strips away the plastic clutter of modern grooming with the STAMEN ST-01. Reminiscent of Dieter Rams’ iconic work for Braun, this all-purpose trimmer prioritizes industrial minimalism and tactile utility over aggressive angles and unnecessary digital screens. The ST-01 skips the cheap, disposable feel of standard trimmers for a substantial, 150g chassis molded entirely from 100% post-industrial recycled plastics. A premium stainless steel blade sits at the business end, powered by a heavy-duty 7,000 RPM motor that cuts through coarse hair without bogging down. The entire unit is IPX7 waterproof, allowing for effortless rinsing or shower use.
A mechanical scroll wheel drives the integrated guard, adjusting cutting lengths seamlessly from 3mm up to 18mm. Popping the guard off drops the clearance down to a raw 0.5mm for clean edges. While the original built-in guard left stubble purists wanting a tighter shave, the inclusion of a magnetic 1.5mm Tight Guard addresses close fades and short beard maintenance directly. Juiced by a modern lithium-ion battery, it delivers a dependable 2-hour runtime on a single charge. It fuels up via a universal USB-C port or an optional wireless charging pad, eliminating proprietary brick chargers from your luggage. A physical travel lock ensures it stays silent until you unpack.
