4. Operating the Shaver
4.1 Shaving Techniques
The Philips Shaver Series 5000 is designed for both wet and dry shaving. For best results, ensure your skin is clean.
- Dry Shaving: For a quick shave, use the shaver on dry skin.
- Wet Shaving: For a more comfortable shave, use with shaving foam or gel, or in the shower.
Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and move it in small, circular motions. Apply gentle pressure. The shaver's flexible 360-degree heads adapt to your facial contours for optimal skin contact.
