- Wet Shaving: Use with water, foam, or gel for a comfortable shave, especially in the shower or bath.
- Dry Shaving: Convenient for quick touch-ups or when you are on the go.
To achieve the best results:
- Ensure your skin is clean. If using wet, apply shaving foam or gel.
- Turn on the shaver. The integrated LED light will illuminate to help you spot fine hairs.
- Gently press the shaver against your skin and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth. The flexible shaving head will adapt to your body contours.
- You can shave in both up and down motions as preferred.
- For longer hairs, pre-trimming with the trimming comb may improve efficiency.

5. Maintenance
Cleaning the Shaver
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
- After each use, turn off the shaver and detach the shaving head.
- Rinse the shaving head and the shaver body under running water.
- Shake off excess water and allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals.
Replacing the Shaving Foil
For continued optimal performance and a comfortable shave, it is recommended to replace the shaving foil once a year. Replacement foils can be purchased from authorized Philips retailers or online.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Philips Lady Shaver, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Shaver not turning on: Ensure the shaver is fully charged. If the battery is low, connect it to the power cable and charge for 8 hours.
- Reduced shaving performance: The shaving foil may be worn or clogged with hair. Clean the shaving head thoroughly or replace the foil if it has been used for over a year.
- Skin irritation: Ensure you are shaving against the direction of hair growth and not applying excessive pressure. Exfoliating before shaving can also help. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.
- Shaver not charging: Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the shaver and the power outlet. Ensure the outlet is functional.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact Philips customer support for further assistance.
