Getting used to a new shaver If you used a different shaving method before (e.g. a razor blade) and have just acquired a dry shaver from Philips, your skin requires some time to get used to your new shaving method. Your skin may become slightly irritated and feel sensitive after shaving. These tips 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 and do not exert too much pressure. Clean the shaver properly after every shave. After a few weeks, your skin will have become used to the new shaving method. A good start is half the work! Make sure that your skin is clean and dry when you start shaving and that you have a mirror close at hand. Some mirrors magnify to ensure that you won’t miss even the shortest stubble. Some Philips shavers are waterproof and allow the use of a preshave lotion. The alcohol in the lotion evaporates quickly. This raises the stubble, which ensures a closer shave. Make sure the shaver is properly charged. A properly charged battery has a positive effect on the shaving result.

Skin irritation! Always shave in the morning when your skin is properly rested. Make sure your skin is properly clean and dry. Do not shave shortly before exercising. Perspiration may cause irritation on a freshly shaved skin. Start shaving the most sensitive areas. The shaving heads heat up during shaving. Cold shaving heads cause the least irritation. Make circular movements across the skin with the shaver and do not exert too much pressure Move the shaver against the direction of hair growth and regularly check with your hand or by looking in the mirror if all stubble has been removed. Do not pass the shaver too often over the same spot. Apply a lotion or aftershave with little or no alcohol to the skin after shaving. Clean the shaver properly after every shave. Replace the shaving heads regularly: the sharper the blades, the smaller the risk of skin irritation.

Customer Reviews

Far Exceeded Expectations
I dont like electric shavers. I wet shave in the week and use an electric at the weekend if I am not going anywhere in particular and cant be bothered but it never feels right.

I didnt want to pay a lot, so I bought this to replace an expensive foil shaver that was a few years old and I had never been happy with. The difference was unbelievable.

Close and comfortable, it far exceeded expectations. This shaver is that good, that after having owned it for just over a week, I have been to work a couple of(less motivated)days using this and felt fine.

I now wonder what the more expensive models are like.

I knew that the Phillishave (floating head) products were well regarded but thought they looked a bit old fashioned. The modern foil shavers look sleek and sexy but when it comes to the actual shave - for me, I now know there is no contest !

Great price (and usual service) from Amazon saving nearly £20 on Boots/Argos price.

If you buy this - you wont be disapointed.

Philips Male Shaver
I have always used Philips rotary shavers so selecting this shaver which was reasonably priced was easy. The shaver was delivered as requested and did not disappoint. It gives a smooth shave and battery lasts for at least 2 weeks when used 1-2 times a day..
