Tangentially related, but I recently bought a Philips shaver and the thing wanted me to install an app on my phone and connect it to the shaver via bluetooth to send shaving data.
I mean, I guess there's theoretically value there for some people? I can't imagine what, but that app's staying well off my phone.
Just what you need. A popup on your phone reminding you you're a scruffy git and not shaved in 7 days.
Warning razor blades at 30%, below satisfactory shaving standards, we will auto ship you replacement blades using your phone!
