Published 18/11/2009

Try these hints and tips for using your Philips shaver and avoiding skin irritation caused by shaving.


New shaving method

Changing to a new shaving method can cause skin to feel sensitive and become slightly irritated. These tips will help your skin get used to the new shaving method:

  • Shave with the new shaver every day.
  • Make sure your skin is clean and dry when you start shaving.
  • Take your time when you are shaving.
  • Make circular movements across the skin with the shaver; do not exert too much pressure.

    After a few weeks your skin will have become used to the new shaving method.


    Useful tips to prevent skin irritation

  • Always shave in the morning when your skin is properly rested. Make sure your skin is clean and dry.
  • Do not shave shortly before exercising, as perspiration may cause irritation on freshly shaved skin.
  • Make circular movements across the skin with the shaver and do not exert too much pressure.
  • Clean the shaver properly after every shave.
  • Replace the shaving heads regularly; the sharper the blades, the smaller the risk of skin irritation.


    • Tips on keeping your shaver in tip top condition

  • Clean the shaver properly after every shave.
  • Replace the shaving heads regularly. While they have a technical lifetime of about 5 years, we advise you to replace the shaving heads every 2 years to maintain optimal shaving results.
  • Place the protection cap on the shaver after use to protect the shaving heads.
  • Store the shaver in a safe place, preferably in the cassette or pouch supplied with the shaver.
