Choose the shaving routine that best suits your skin, beard, and daily routine.
For a quick and convenient shave, use your Philips shaver dry on clean skin. Dry shaving works particularly well for regular shaving and shorter stubble.
For extra skin comfort, use a Wet & Dry Philips shaver with shaving foam or gel. This can help the shaving heads glide more smoothly over the skin and reduce friction, which may be especially helpful if your skin is sensitive or prone to irritation.
If your Philips shaver is approved for shower use, you can also shave in the shower for added convenience. Shower compatibility varies by model, so always check the product specifications or user manual before using your shaver in the shower.
Whichever routine you choose, use gentle circular movements and avoid pressing the shaver too firmly against your skin.
