Troubleshooting

My Philips Shaver is leaking If you see water leaking from your Philips Shaver, there is no need to worry. Find out the possible causes and solutions to this problem in our article. There is some water inside your shaver After cleaning your Philips Shaver or using it in the shower, some water may settle between its inner body and the outer shell. This water seeps out by itself over time and it may seem like the shaver is leaking. However, please be assured that the inner body of your shaver is completely waterproof. This means that the water cannot reach the machinery of your shaver. You can continue to use your shaver without any trouble. To avoid this issue, always shake off your shaver after washing it and let it completely air dry before use.

Your Philips Shaver is not charged

has run out. We advise you to charge your shaver and then try turning it on

There can be hair or dirt particles stuck inside it, causing the shaving heads
to become blocked.
To fix this problem, properly clean your shaver. If possible, remove the
shaving head and clean your shaver from the inside as well. For detailed
cleaning instructions, refer to your user manual. In some shavers, a cleaning
reminder symbol will blink to let you know that the shaver needs to be

Apply the right movements while shaving
When you shave with your Philips Shaver, you will achieve optimal results if
you make slow, circular movements with the shaver over the face. The latest
models of S7000 and S9000 will help you to achieve the perfect circular
movements thanks to their motion-sensor control.
Allow your skin an adjustment period
If you are a new user of the Philips Shaver, keep in mind that your skin needs
to adapt to the electric razor. This means that your skin may feel slightly
irritated in the beginning. Allow yourself an adjustment period of two to
three weeks with your new Philips Shaver. You can also use a gentle
moisturiser or aftershave lotion to minimise skin irritation after shaving.
Pre-trim your long facial hair
Shaving long hair can be uncomfortable and may lead to skin irritation. If you
have not shaved for a couple of days and have a heavy beard, it is a good idea
to trim your beard before you start shaving. This technique also helps in
reducing shaving time. Some Philips Shavers come with a trimming attachment
that you can use to trim your beard. Otherwise, use your normal beard trimmer.
Be gentle and apply the right amount of pressure
While shaving, it is important to be gentle, especially if you have sensitive
skin that is prone to irritation. Do not press the shaver too hard against
your skin. Only apply gentle pressure that makes your facial hair stand
upright and makes it easier for the shaver blades to catch and cut them.
Gentle pressure also reduces friction between the shaver and your skin,
resulting in a more comfortable experience. The latest models of S9000 will
help you to apply the right amount of pressure thanks to its pressure-guard
feature.
