Braun has, over the years, cemented itself as a company filled with design classics, and one of those objects always associated with the company is their line of electric shavers. 1982 saw a radical advance in Braun's manufacturing capabilities, which enabled the hard/soft body of the Micron Plus Universal. The sleek steel body was covered in soft, rubbery black dots for grip. The power button was also now combined with the center slider button; slide it up one click to turn the razor on, slide it up another click to swing out and activate the clippers.
