2 Shaving
• Ensure that the shaver never comes in contact with
water.
• You obtain the best shaving results on a dry skin.
Preferably shave before or some time after washing.
B Switch the shaver on by sliding the switch upwards.
B Move the shaving heads quickly over the skin. Make
both straight and circular movements.
B Stretch the skin with your free hand.
• This will bring the hairs upright and provide a closer
shave.
• Long hairs on the neck can also be shaved off in this
way.
Please bear in mind that your skin may need two to
four weeks to become fully accustomed to the
unique Philishave shaving system.

3 Cleaning
B Switch the shaver off.

protective cap.
It is possible to clean the shaving unit by means of a
degreasing liquid (alcohol for example). Lubricate the
shaving heads with a drop of sewing machine oil.
Shaving unit

the inside.
Shaving heads

B Disassemble the shaving unit in order to clean the
shaving heads.

Clean each shaving head (cutter and guard) separately.
This is essential since the cutter has been ground with the
guard.
If you should accidentally mix up the guards and cutters,
it may take several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
Clean each cutter carefully by brushing in the direction of
the arrow only, using the short bristled brush.
Brush the guard clean.You have to lubricate the central
point of the inside of the guard only if your skin is quite
dry, or if you have degreased the shaving unit.

only if your skin is quite dry or if you have degreased the
shaving unit.
Replacing the shaving heads

damaged or worn shaving heads.
