I wonder what kind of techno-bureaucrats design such devices. But it could also be that the Marketing department has over-indulged. As all faces are usually round, I don't think it makes sense to design the blade in a 5-sided shape. Is this probably how they wanted to distinguish the new from the old?
And to your question. No, this design cannot be used under the nose because the shaving heads are too far away from the nose thanks to this unspeakable design. I personally fared better with the previous model with the round shaving blade. Then this cleaning system is an absolute sham. It makes no sense either ecologically or economically. The hair dissolves into a pulp - after several passes - but where should the pulp run off? It is more horrible than before. Cleaning is only possible by taking the blade apart (parts - clean them individually, let them dry and reassemble. Everything requires a steady hand and patience. Of course, Philips does not mention cleaning anywhere. It is quiet, it shaves gently and I hope that the successor model will have round blades again. I will no longer buy a "square successor".
