Operating Instructions

Shaving Techniques

The Philips Shaver i9000 can be used for both wet and dry shaving. For optimal results, ensure your skin is clean before shaving.

• Dry Shaving: For a quick and convenient shave, use the shaver on dry skin.
• Wet Shaving: For a more refreshing shave, use with shaving foam or gel. The shaver is 100% waterproof.

Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and move it in small, circular motions. Apply gentle pressure. The flexible 360 Precision shaving head adapts to your facial contours, ensuring close contact even in difficult areas like under the nose and on the neck.

Skin IQ Technology

The shaver is equipped with Skin IQ technology, which provides a personalized shaving experience:

• Power Adapt Sensor: This sensor reads your hair density 500 times per second and automatically adjusts the shaver's power to ensure an efficient and effortless shave, even on dense beards.
• Motion Control Sensor: Provides real-time guidance via the Philips GroomTribe app (if connected) to help you improve your shaving technique, reducing the number of movements for optimal results.
• Hydro SkinGlide Coating: A protective coating on the shaving head reduces friction, ensuring a smooth glide and minimizing skin irritation.

Triple Lift & Cut System

The unique Triple Lift & Cut system is designed to lift hairs before cutting them, ensuring an exceptionally close shave down to 0.00 mm from the skin. This system works by gently lifting each hair from the skin, allowing the Dual SteelPrecision blades to cut it precisely.
