With your new Philips ladyshave Body Contour you can

quickly, easily and comfortably remove unwanted hair

from dry or wet skin.

The Philips ladyshave Body Contour is equipped with a

floating shaving head, which optimally adapts to the skin in

order to ensure a perfectly smooth shave.

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 simply rinse the ladyshave in the shower or

under the tap. Make sure the battery compartment is

properly closed during wet use and when you clean the

appliance.
