Is it safe to use a shaving foil to groom my body?
-
If you are curious about how safe it is to use a shaving foil on your body, please see the information below.
All Philips products consisting of a shaving foil are skin friendly. Philips is not a dermatological authority and cannot give skin, hair, or nail advice on individual cases.
Before using a Philips product with a shaving foil, it is good practice to visually check the grooming device to ensure the shaving foil is still intact. Replace the foil immediately when it is damaged, via our webshop or your local Consumer Care.
You can use the shaving foil to trim and shave your body hair below the neckline, for example armpits, arms, legs and pubic area. We do not recommend using it on your face or head, because you will not get desired results, and it may also damage your skin.
Some products come with additional attachments to use on sensitive areas, like your pubic region. You can find more information about using these attachments this in your user manual or can contact us.
If you are still unsure of using Philips devices with a shaving foil, please consult your physician or healthcare professional who can examine whether your skin is suitable for this type of grooming device. -
The shaving head could be damaged
-
The shaving foil of your Philips Groomer can wear down over time. To minimize the wear of the foil, safely store your product and protect the foil from outside pressure or impacts by attaching a cap or comb.
Before each use inspect the shaver head. If the shaving foil looks damaged or worn out, replace this immediately. You can find the replacement shaving foils at our online shop.
To find out how to replace the shaver head of your groomer please refer to your user manual.

Can I use my Philips Body Groomer without a comb?
-
The dual-sided body groomers let you switch between shaving & trimming. The shaver with rounded tips and foil adapts to the contours of your body for a smooth shave. The trimmer with comb has 5 different lengths for trimming anywhere on your body.
For trimming your body hairs, we advise using the integrated trimmer of the product with the adjustable trimming comb. The trimmer can be adjusted to 5 different lengths (1/8”(3mm) to 7/16”(11mm)).
When you want to trim hairs without the comb, limit the time to 5 minutes because the product will become warm. Consider the trimmer without comb trims close to the skin, do not use the trimmer head on sensitive areas e.g. pubic region without the comb attachment. You can use your groomer to trim and shave your body hair below the neckline for example armpits, chest and pubic area. We do not recommend using it on your face or head. This is because you will not get desired results, and it may also cause skin damage.
