Shaving tips

for a close, quick and comfortable shave

• The best results are obtained if the skin is dry. So

preferably shave before washing or some time afterwards.

• If required, apply a preshave lotion. This can be

particularly helpful if the climate is warm and humid.

• The Philishave system gives you a quick, close and

comfortable shave. Just move the shaving unit quickly
over the skin.

• For the best results stretch the skin to bring the hairs into

an upright position.
Then move the shaving unit against the direction of the
growth of the hairs.
