With your new Philips Ladyshave you can quickly, easily and comfortably
remove unwanted body hair. You can use the Ladyshave either dry or wet.
If you shave while taking a bath or shower, we advise you to use soap or
shaving foam for the most comfortable shave. After use, you can clean the
Ladyshave under the tap or with the cleaning brush for extra hygiene.

You can use the Ladyshave on wet skin, while you have a bath or shower.
To achieve the best result, lather your skin with soap or shaving cream
beforehand.

If you prefer to use the Ladyshave dry, make sure that your skin is clean
and completely dry.
Note: in principle, there is no difference in using the appliance on wet skin
and using it on dry skin. You can simply choose which method you like best.
Note: Do not apply alcohol based-lotions to the skin directly before or after
shaving. If you want, you can apply some talcum powder.
Note: Do not press the shaving head too hard onto the skin, as this has
a negative effect on shaving performance and may cause some skin irritation.

If you are new to shaving, you can use the efciency cap to help you place
the Ladyshave on the skin at the optimum angle. When the efciency cap
is placed at on the skin, the shaving foil and trimmer are fully in contact
with the skin. This helps to get perfect results.

the trimming comb to a length of 3mm for an optimal shaving
performance.

3 Move the appliance against the direction of hair growth. Make sure
