Apply the right movements while shaving
When you shave with your Philips Shaver, you will achieve optimal results if you make slow,
circular movements with the shaver over the face. The latest models of S7000 and S9000
will help you to achieve the perfect circular movements thanks to their motion-sensor
control.
Allow your skin an adjustment period
If you are a new user of the Philips Shaver, keep in mind that your skin needs to adapt to the
electric razor. This means that your skin may feel slightly irritated in the beginning. Allow
yourself an adjustment period of two to three weeks with your new Philips Shaver.
You can also use a gentle moisturiser or aftershave lotion to minimise skin irritation after
shaving.
Pre-trim your long facial hair
Shaving long hair can be uncomfortable and may lead to skin irritation.
If you have not shaved for a couple of days and have a heavy beard, it is a good idea to trim
your beard before you start shaving. This technique also helps in reducing shaving time.
Some Philips Shavers come with a trimming attachment that you can use to trim your beard.
Otherwise, use your normal beard trimmer.
Be gentle and apply the right amount of pressure
While shaving, it is important to be gentle, especially if you have sensitive skin that is prone
to irritation. Do not press the shaver too hard against your skin. Only apply gentle pressure
that makes your facial hair stand upright and makes it easier for the shaver blades to catch
and cut them.
Gentle pressure also reduces friction between the shaver and your skin, resulting in a more
comfortable experience. The latest models of S9000 will help you to apply the right amount
of pressure thanks to its pressure-guard feature.
