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.
