Yes. With your Philips Shaver you can achieve a close and comfortable shave by using the right shaving technique and gentle pressure.

Philips rotary shaving heads are designed to capture hairs growing in different directions. Using small, circular movements helps the shaving heads follow the contours of your face and catch hairs in areas such as the neck and jawline, where beard growth can be less uniform.

For a close and comfortable shave:

• Use small, slow circular movements rather than straight strokes.
• Apply gentle pressure and let the shaving heads do the work. Pressing too hard may increase skin irritation.
• Avoid repeatedly shaving the same area, particularly on sensitive areas such as the neck.
• Gently stretch your skin when shaving difficult areas such as the chin and jawline to help capture short or flat-lying hairs.
• If your model supports Wet & Dry shaving, try using shaving foam or gel for additional comfort.
• If your beard is longer, pre-trim longer hairs before shaving.
• Give your skin time to adapt if you are new to electric shaving. This can take around 2–3 weeks, especially when switching from a manual razor.

For the best shaving performance, also make sure your shaving heads are clean, correctly assembled and not worn or damaged.
