Operating Your Shaver

Wet & Dry Shaving

The Philips Norelco Shaver i9000 Prestige is designed for both wet and dry use.

  • Dry Shave: For a quick and convenient shave, use the shaver on dry skin.
  • Wet Shave: For enhanced skin comfort, use with shaving foam or gel. The shaver is 100% waterproof and can be used in the shower.

Shaving Technique

For optimal results, use circular motions with the rotary shaving heads. The 360° Precision Flexing Heads adapt to your facial contours, ensuring constant skin contact.

SenseIQ Technology & Pressure Guidance

The shaver features SenseIQ Technology with a Live-Action Pressure Light Sensor. This ring around the shaving head changes color to indicate the pressure you are applying:

  • Blue: Too little pressure.
  • Green: Optimal pressure for an efficient and comfortable shave.
  • Orange/Red: Too much pressure.

Adjust your pressure to maintain a green light for the best shaving experience and to minimize skin irritation.
